May Jesus Christ, the way that leads to the heavenly dwelling place, be with you!

The month of May is filled with many events and special moments. Weddings and anniversaries will be celebrated. Graduations will take place across the country. Priests’ ordination and anniversaries will occur during this month. Last but not least, the highlight of May is the celebration of Mother’s Day. May this month of joy and celebrations bring an uplifting spirit to all who are celebrating a special moment or event this month.

Another featured event during this month is honoring and acknowledging the Blessed Mother Mary. We honor and thank her for her “Fiat” and unconditional presence and support to her Son, Jesus Christ. That unconditional presence and support is also given to us. During this month of May, remember and honor Mary, Mother of God, by praying the rosary through her intercession. In addition, attend Mass during the week in her honor.

I have asked everyone to remember our parish and parishioners in your prayers. Please continue to do so. Pray for an end to the senseless war our country is involved in, for the safety of U.S. troops and comfort to their families. Joining our prayers together can make a change.

The readings for today’s Mass speaks of an invitation to proclaim God’s word. It also talks about the lack of proclaimers of the word because of the growth of believers. This means we need more priests, deacons, religious sisters and catechists. We pray more young men and women will hear God calling them as his messengers of the faith.

Peace and Blessings,
Msgr. Dr. Britto
