Thank you for your generosity First Saturday Devotion : Starting The First Saturday of the Month: February-June at 10 am During her July 1917 apparition at Fatima, Our Lady said to Lucia, "Behold, my daughter, my Heart encircled with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce It at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Give me consolation, you, at least; and make known on my behalf that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who on the First Saturday of five consecutive months confess their sins, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the purpose of making reparation to my Immaculate Heart." There will be a 10am Saturday morning Mass at St. Mary’s for the 1st Saturdays: February 6th, March 6th, April 3rd, May 1st, and June 5th. CONDITIONS TO FULFILL THE FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION There are five requirements to obtain this extraordinary promise of grace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary. On the first Saturday of five consecutive months, one is obliged to: 1. Have the intention of consoling the Immaculate Heart in a spirit of reparation. 2. Go to confession (within 20 days before or after the first Saturday). 3. Receive Holy Communion. 4. Say five decades of the Holy Rosary. 5. Meditate for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Holy Rosary with the intention of keeping Our Lady company (for example, while in church or before an image or statue of Our Lady). You can download a copy of their First Saturday booklet at the bottom of the First Saturday Devotion website page, which provides more information and explanation about the Devotion. The Holy Family Altar Candle is lit for ` Dante Manicia ~ from Family Fr. Schultz’s Column Pax Christi! Dear Friends in Christ, Thank you for all you do all year for the protection of all life. All life is sacred and each person should be treated with dignity. As baptized Catholics we are to be Holy members who live out a life of holiness and morality. In the Old Testament one matter of justice that was stressed (because the Israelites were once foreigners themselves) was to be just in a trial; the judge was not to consider their status or if they were a foreigner or alien, but he was to administer justice fairly.
