Sixth Sunday of Easter
Greetings of peace.
Happy Mother’s Day! Today we appreciate all that our mothers have done for us. We give
thanks for their love, attention, goodness, playfulness, leadership, concern, determination
during hardship, and sacrifice and prayer for us. May we honor and care
for the mothers around us as best we can throughout the year.
We also pray for all of those mothers who struggle on this Mother’s Day. We pray for
mothers who have lost children to death, are estranged from their children, have chronically
sick children, or are unable to care for their children. May God’s healing touch help all
mothers in difficulty, and their respective families.
Thursday, May 18, is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. It is a Holy Day of
Obligation. We have the usual weekday Mass schedule for this day: 6am, 7am, and
12:05pm.
Summer Programming
BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP Centering Prayer is a form of Christian contemplative prayer,
Five Wednesdays: June 14, 21, 28, July 5 and 12 to center awareness on the presence of God. This modern
12:45pm – 1:45pm movement in Christianity was initiated by three Trappist
monks of St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts in the
Francis of Assisi: Messenger for Today’s World 1970s. Participants aim to be present to God, to “consent to
God’s presence and action during the time of prayer.”
by Robert Waldron
Centering Prayer is prayer centered entirely on God.
Many of us are already making summer plans. Will you be on Cape Cod? Ariana Green, Director of Stewardship, is working with
one of our benefactors, Eileen Spear, of Exclusive Escapes. Eileen has a team for the
Falmouth Road Race on August 20. Exclusive Escapes, which supports St. Anthony Shrine,
has four available bibs for the race. Would you like to be part of the St. Anthony Shrine
team? Are you a runner? Do you know someone who would like to support this new
initiative? The combined fundraising goal for the team is $15,000.
Please contact Ariana at agreen@stanthonyshrine.org or 857-206-7243 if you would like
to participate. All monies raised by this team will support our greatest needs.
