From Fr. Nursey Collection Totals for May 8th & May 9th Dear Holy Rosarians, May God bless you abundantly on this Ascension Sunday, OF Masses: $4,421.00 where we are reminded that Christ has gone before us to heaven and He EF Masses: $2,227.00 awaits us to join Him in glory. It is fitting at this time that we recall the Total for the weekend collection: $6,648.00 very means in which He has given us to get to heaven. The means are the seven sacraments, which are provided for us in God's Holy Catholic Church. The seven sacraments are the very rungs of the ladder that lead Marriage & Family Retreat us to heaven. (This is one reason that we desperately desire the The Opus Angelorum Priests & Sisters will be joining us for the conversion of our brethren and friends to the Catholic Faith, for it is in Marriage & Family Retreat Friday, June 11th- Sunday, June 13th. the Catholic Church that we have all seven sacraments and the There will be talks for couples, families and children, activities, opportunity of attaining eternal glory is all the more increased.) Instrumental in the conveying of the sacraments is the holy priesthood camping on site and more! Please contact the parish office if you’d of Jesus Christ, where Jesus is mediator between God and man. like to register. Although Christ has ascended into heaven, He has not left us alone. He is present in a substantial way in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. But He is also with us through His priests. And it is only Brown Scapular & Miraculous Medal Enrollments through His priests that we are able to receive the majority of the The priests will be enrolling anyone interested in the Brown sacraments. We should pray that God send more laborers to the harvest, Scapular and Miraculous Medal on the weekend of May 15/16th at that is to say, priests.

There is much responsibility in being a priest. And much joy. The priest's First Friday Mass Association responsibility is very real and a priest who loves Jesus wishes to feed We are taking enrollments for the First Friday Mass Association- God's flock the truth. Which leads me to a couple of things. twelve Masses (the same intention for all) are offered for $75, First, this past week on May 13th, I celebrated my 4th starting on the First Friday of June, and on each First Friday at the anniversary as a priest. I am so grateful to God and to Mary for such a morning or evening Mass for a year. Please use the form inserted in profound gift. In receiving such a gift I am not blind to the this bulletin, or call or email the office by Tuesday, June 1st if you responsibility of giving true nourishment to God's flock. This leads me would like to enroll, or re-enroll an intention. to the second point, I recently made a mistake in a homily and I wish to correct it now, so that you have the truth. At one of the daily Masses a couple of weeks ago I was commenting on how a person's first Attention All Holy Rosary Graduates! responsibility is for his own soul. Then, I erroneously stated that his You are invited to the Senior Recognition Mass on Sunday, June next responsibility is for his parents. This is not necessarily true. If a 20th. Please contact Kathleen Hughes at 231-228-6991 for further person is married, that person's next responsibility is for the spouse. A details or if you will be participating in this year’s Recognition person owes his parents greater reverence, but a person's greater Mass. love is to be for the spouse, for two become one flesh (cf. St. Thomas Aquinas Article on Charity). The proximity to one's spouse is greater than to one's parents and so the responsibility for the spouse is greater than the responsibility for the parents. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults- RCIA I hope that is clears things up. If you have any questions, Do you know of someone who would like to inquire about our please let me know. And if you know of anyone who was at that daily Catholic Faith?

The processions for the May crowning Blessing of Fields & Orchards and for Our Lady of Fatima give honor to Mary and ask for her If you are interested in having your fields or crops/orchards blessed, intercession and guidance in our lives. The procession for St. Isidore please contact the parish office or Fr. Libby/Fr. Nursey to set up a was of a similar nature for him. But are you aware of the purpose of the time for them to come. rogation processions? They show our dependency upon God, petition Him for His blessings on our fields and crops and ask Him to please continue to rescue us from all adversities and bring us ultimately to CSA heaven. In addition to the rogation procession, it is good to have one's We are at 40% of our parish goal! The amount per family this year crops and fields blessed. is $279.
