Fifth Sunday of Easter | Remain in Him

Fifth Sunday of Easter

May 2, 2021

“I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing." (Jn 15:5)

May Celebrations

Our May celebrations of Mary once again reflect the times as we ask for Our Lady's help and intercession. Pope Francis invites Catholics and Marian Shrines around the world to dedicate the month of May to "a marathon of prayer for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic." Read about the daily broadcasts of the praying of the rosary from Marian shrines around the world in May. Pope Francis leads the first and last rosaries.

On Saturday, May 1 we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. "The life of St Joseph shows us the dignity of human work, which is the duty and the perfection of human beings, who in this way exercise dominion over creation, share in the work of the Creator, offer their service to the community, and participate in God’s plan of salvation." (Vatican News) May the Holy Spirit move us to help all those in need in need, especially those who are unemployed or without a living wage.
