St. Vincent de Paul – May 2024
*Checks made payable to Society of St. Vincent de Paul and dropped in the collection baskets will help us serve our neighbors in need throughout the Greenlawn area.
May 19th: Pentecost Sunday
Today as we celebrate Pentecost the Holy Spirit wants to make us advocates of God’s presence to bring new life to others, especially those who do not know the love of God in their lives.
This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able bring the love of God to the poor by assisting families by providing them food, utilities, rent bills, etc. Thank you!
May 12th: The Ascension of The Lord
No matter how much the world pushes against our Catholic values, we are to never waver. “I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world.”
This week, we will celebrate Ascension Thursday (an event we also remember during the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary). Throughout this week, remember the words of St. Teresa of Ávila, “Christ has…no hands, no feet on earth, but yours.”Be at service to your brothers and sisters and do it for Our Lord
May 5th: The Sixth Sunday of Easter
In the Gospel today, Jesus says to us, “This is my commandment: love one another as I have loved you…You are my friends if you do what I command you.”
By your gift to the Society of St.Vincent de Paul you fulfill this commandment
First Holy Communion at St. Francis
First Holy Communion was celebrated with great love on a beautiful Saturday afternoon at St. Francis! We had two Masses for our Grade 2 Religious Education students who received Our Lord for the first time surrounded by their loving families, friends, and catechists.
SERENITY CINEMA PRESENTS: Cabrini
From Angel Studios who brought us The Chosen ~ Join us for the private exclusive streaming feature of CABRINI! On this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend let us remember and be grateful for all those who lost their lives to defend our country, and for Mother Cabrini who fought for many of our own families who came thru Ellis Island.
Pastor’s Desk – May 2024
Our young people were really eating it up! I am referring to Fr. Liam McDonald‘s presentation last week to our women’s group of the Starfish Coffee House, with his topic “Our Gifts of the Holy Spirit”; how each person can discover the gifts – or tools – God has given us to use in our own way to build up his kingdom.
