* Our Second Collection this weekend is for the Annual Special Parish Needs Collection. This year the Special  Parish Needs Collection will assist the parish in building a deck in the large area near the back door of the Parish Life Center for our kids in preschool and religious education (estimated cost $25,000.00).

* There will be no SCRIP sales this weekend or Memorial Day weekend.

* The Novena to the Holy Spirit for the Seven Gifts begins Friday, May 15. We ask everyone to join together in this novena and pray it at home, too. Please see page 8.

* Tickets are limited, two spots left. Join us on pilgrimage with our Oblate Sisters as we go to South Africa to dedicate their convent which we helped to build! We will visit the Sisters’ missions in South Africa and Namibia. For information, call Fr. Rooney or visit our website. July 14-25, 2015.
