This letter to the Philippians is one of the loveliest letters that Paul wrote. The community at Philippi seems to be a favorite one and Paul writes to them with great joy and longing to be with them. This letter is a very intimately personal one, filled with affection and happiness. Here Paul is not responding to questions sent to him from the Philippians but is writing to express his gratitude and joy. Also contained in this letter is the famous Christological hymn where Paul describes Christ as emptying himself to be one with us, a high point in his theology. “Rejoice” is repeated over and over. Come and join us for a lively discussion of this letter! After the 10:00 am Mass in the Rectory.
During the May 3-5 weekend, our parish is helping to host “3 Days of Ulster Cycling 2019,” a world class women’s race. Cyclists from all over the US and Canada will be riding our beautiful hills in 4 events, with time trials from the Parish Hall on Saturday
CLEAN-UP & REPAIR WEEKEND - MAY 4 & 5: Mark your calendars for this weekend! From noon to 5 pm on Saturday, May 4, we will gather to clean up the gardens, and prepare and beautify church grounds for the Crowning of the Blessed Mother on May 5. Bring tools and gloves! A number of small repair and painting jobs are needed for the buildings, so we are also looking for volunteers on BOTH days. The time is noon – 5:00 pm. On Sunday, we'll begin after the May crowning and refreshments. In the next few weeks, we'll list theprojects, so please check out the weekly bulletin and sign up on the sheet at the back of the church.
May is the traditional month of Mary...a long-standing tradition in the Church to honor the Mother of our Lord. This year’s Crowning of Our Lady of La Salette statue will be held in the Grotto following our procession from the church after 10:30 am Mass. The La Salette Sodality and children of Religious Education invite you and your families to be part of this short program honoring our Blessed Mother. Join us in the parish hall afterwards for fellowship and a light breakfast. All are welcome!
