In this month we invite you
to honor our Blessed Mother.

It is a centuries-old custom of Catholics to dedicate the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The month of May is always part of the Easter season, the fifty days we celebrate in the liturgy the Resurrection of Our Lord, a time also of awaiting the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
The celebration of May as a Marian month fits well with the liturgical celebrations of Easter and Pentecost as we recall Mary’s great joy in her Son’s victory over death as well as her presence with the apostles in the upper room prayerfully awaiting the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
All honor that we give to Mary is ordered to, and leads to, the adoration of God. Devotion to Mary fosters within us a faithful adherence to her Son. When we crown images of Mary, we are honoring her. In honoring Mary, we are ultimately praising God for the grace He bestowed on her. We all probably have our favorite images of Mary.
The many images and devotions express various aspects of Our Lady’s vocation and mission. They help us to know the virtues of Mary and remind us to turn to her for her intercession.
I invite you to pray with Mary during this Marian month. Let us especially commend to her our prayers for life, marriage, and religious liberty.
Let us all place ourselves in the school of Mary to learn from her how to love God more fervently and to love one another as her Son has loved us.

The Annual Appeal will fund essential programs and ministries at the heart of our Catholic mission in our four counties. 

The parish needs a small contribution from all parishoners and friends to achive our goal.

Now more than ever, especially during this health crisis, our ministries and programs need your support.   https://www.rcan.org/sharing
