JANE FRANCES DE CHANTAL CHURCH MAY 2, 2021 EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA My Dear Parishioners, May is the month when we traditionally turn to the figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is her month. We create shrines in her honor; we recite prayers for her intercession, we celebrate her in private and public devotion. She is the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of Jesus, and the Help of Sinners. On the cross, our Lord Saturday, May 1—Saint Joseph the Jesus himself gave her to us as our mother, our Worker patroness, our protector. While we do not accord 9:00 John Clifford Mary the same devotion of adoration that we give Vigil: May 1—Fifth Sunday of Easter to God, she is nonetheless the first among all the 5:00 Robert Wiertz saints, our intercessor to whom we pray and offer Sunday, May 2—Fifth Sunday of Easter homage. 8:00 Robert “Bob” Hugelmeyer 10:00 Vincent & Sophie Speciale This devotion to Mary is deeply rooted in our 12:00 Janet Ullmer Catholic faith. From the earliest centuries, the Monday, May 3—Saints Philip & James Church has always reflected on the place of the 6:30 John Leskosky Blessed Mother in the history of salvation. It has 8:15 James & Margaret McCormick also turned to Our Lady in song and prayer, in de- and Family voted affection and fidelity. She is, after all, our Tuesday, May 4—Easter Weekday spiritual mother who guards and protects us. We 6:30 James Kaschak, Sr. know that we can turn to her often, and that she 8:15 Martin Purcell always listens to her children who call upon her. Wednesday, May 5—Easter Weekday 6:30 MaryAnn McCarthy Mary prepares us for the gift of salvation by 8:15 Peg Muretta & Family (Mass for pointing the way to Jesus her Son. To honor Mary the Living) is to find ourselves moving ever closer to Jesus. Thursday, May 6—Easter Weekday As we pray to her, our hopes and desires find their (National Day of Prayer) fulfillment in the Heart of her Son. When we strive 6:30 Donald E. Vandenburgh to imitate her virtue, we open our lives to the Savior 8:15 Ildefonso Raymundo she herself bore into this world. An old Latin Friday, May 7—Easter Weekday 6:30 Members of St. Jane’s phrase put this thought concisely: “Ad Iesum per Memorial Society Mariam” (“to Jesus through Mary”). Whenever we 8:15 Giuseppina Brescia turn to Mary in prayer, contemplation or imitation, Saturday, May 8—Easter Weekday we come to Jesus himself. 9:00 The Priests & Staff at St. Jane’s (Mass for the Living) During this month of May, we once again direct Vigil: May 8—Sixth Sunday of Easter our thoughts and prayers to Mary our Mother. We 5:00 Michael Foster praise her in song, we look to her virtue, and we Sunday, May 9—Sixth Sunday of Easter plead for her intercessory aid. May Mary always 8:00 Mother’s Day Intentions come to our aid and shield us in her loving care and 10:00 Mother’s Day Intentions protection! 12:00 Mother’s Day Intentions Sincerely, Monsignor Radocha FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Procedures for Sunday Mass: 1.)
