God is great! He is gracious, merciful, and slow to anger. God is good to all and His reign is for all ages. What is our response to such a good and loving God? We find the answer in Jesus' command to love. The true mark of the disciple is to love others. Every act of kindness, compassion and love makes God present in the world. We rejoice in the signs of God's Kingdom among us and look forward to the new heaven and earth God intends.  (Liturgy of the Word, pg. 182)

This week, we take up The Catholic Relief Services Collection to reveal Christ’s love to our brothers and sisters in need. This collection helps six Catholic agencies to provide relief and support for struggling communities and work for peace and reconciliation among our marginalized brothers and sisters here and around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.  

There will be an end of the year potluck following the 10:30am Mass. All are welcome. 

Jack Pfeiffer will be ordained to the transitional diaconate on May 21 and Deacon Jacob Thomas will be ordained to the Priesthood on June 4. Both Ordination Masses will be at 10:00am at St. Augustine Cathedral. Please keep both men in prayer and continue to pray for vocations.
