LIFETEEN MASS (Parishioners) Life Night
MAY 8, 2016
I am truly blessed with our parish’s tremendous
generosity to the DSA these past three months.
A total of $72,492.14 has been paid and
$40,006.00 has been pledged by 314 of our 1,503
families. We are only $593.86 short of reaching
our $113,093.00 goal before the end of the Easter Season on May
15. I really appreciate the exceptional assistance of our parish
community in helping us achieve our goal so quickly. May God
bless you for blessing those in need within our diocese.
Congratulations to our 163 faith formation students who will
receive their First Communion on May 14 and 21. Please pray
for their continued spiritual growth. The Ascension of the Lord
has been transferred from Thursday to Sunday within our diocese.
The Easter Season will conclude with the celebration of
Pentecost on May 15. Pentecost is the birthday of our Church
when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and 3,000
people converted to the Catholic faith. I hope all mothers have a
happy and blessed Mothers’ Day!

Thank you!
NEXT WEEKEND
The annual diocesan International-National Combined Mission
Collection will be taken at all Masses next weekend. Your
contribution to the good work of these organizations offers you an
opportunity to participate in the mission of the Church locally,
nationally and internationally. Please take the time to read the
brochure sent to you by Msgr. West, give prayerful thought to your
level of participation and respond with your contribution. The
envelope can be found in your monthly envelope packet.
STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT
Christ’s Ascension presents us with this reminder — that we
are called to lives of discipleship and stewardship, but that
sometimes being able to fulfill that requires patience and
determination. Nevertheless, Christ’s Ascension represents a
fulfillment that each of us must realize and recognize. We are
grateful this week for all stewards in our parish whose giving whether of alms or of service - will be an expression of both
spiritual and corporal works of mercy, making them missionaries of
mercy to a world in such need of it.
THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
YOU ARE INVITED
The World as it should be: An Overview of Catholic Social
Teaching. Mark your calendars for this Wednesday, May 11th at
7:00 PM in Holy Family Hall for a presentation and discussion of
Catholic Social Teaching. Beginning with Respect Life: God’s Gift
to Creation and Understanding God’s Vision for Creation as
understood through the Bible and Papal Encyclicals. How do we
understand Catholic Social Teaching in our modern times? Our
speaker will be Nick Haskell, Poverty and Justice Education
Coordinator - WNC for Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte. Mr.
Haskell has thirty years of working with Catholic Churches across
the United States and developing lay leaders to act on Catholic
Social Teaching. Make plans to join us!
PRAISE AND WORSHIP
Our Charismatic Prayer Group invites you to join them each
Thursday in Sebastian Chapel. The second Thursday of each
month includes Worship and Healing Prayers. Join us this
Thursday, May 12th for Praise and Worship with music at 6:30
and at 7:00 PM for a Healing Communion Service with Rev. Mr. A.
Stephen Pickett. Questions? Call Eric & Nora McIntire at 2940357. The Holy Spirit is alive in our church!
SUPREME TIMERS
The next Supreme Timers meeting will be Tuesday, May 17th in
Holy Family Hall. Our speaker will be Elayne Sinclair, a parishioner
and paramedic at the Catawba County EMS. The topic is
Remembering When, a Fire and Fall prevention program for older
adults. Find out how to protect yourself from falls and fires both of
which are leading causes of unintentional injury, disability or death.
This is certainly a very important topic that will teach us how to
keep ourselves safe from avoidable injuries and tragedy. This is our
last meeting before we break for the summer so we hope everyone
can be there - and bring a guest with you! Supreme Timers is open
to parishioners 55 or over. The covered dish lunch will begin at
12:00 Noon. Please bring your favorite dish to share (meat, veggie,
fruit, dessert, etc).
MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER
Jesus “raised his hands and blessed them”. Jesus prayed for his
disciples, and us, to know and believe the good news of the
Gospel! Open your heart and allow God’s love to transform all
areas of your live including your marriage. The next Worldwide
Marriage Encounter weekends are: September 30 - October 2 in
Myrtle Beach, SC and November 4-6 in Atlantic Beach, NC. Early
sign up is recommended. For more information visit our website at:

CHURCH HUMOR!
While the priest was preaching a sermon on God’s command to
love your enemy, he asked if anyone truly loved their enemy? A
97 year-old lady stood up and said, “I do not have any enemies.”
The priest asked, “How could you live for 97 years and not have a
single enemy? She replied, “I out lived them all!”
SOLEMNIDAD DE LA
ASCENCION DEL SEÑOR
Jesús, que ascendió a los cielos, volverá por nosotros. .
~ Stewardship ~
La segunda lectura de hoy contiene la sombría advertencia de que
Jesús viene pronto y traerá a cada uno el premio que su conducta
se merece. ¿Ha sido mi administración de los bienes de Dios,
confiados a mi tal como para responderle gozosamente, “Amen
¡Ven, Señor Jesús!
