Why were there so many miracles in the early years of the Church? The odds against Christianity taking hold in Palestine and the Roman Empire were enormous. Maybe this is why God let so many miracles happen—to attract favorable attention to this new religion. Today, the first reading and the Gospel reading deal with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit came to us quietly when we were confirmed. We received a guarantee that whenever in life we need inspiration and spiritual strength, the Holy Spirit will provide it for us.

FINAL WEEK FOR 2002 ADA

Please remember that this is the final weekend to sign your 2002 Archdiocesan Development Appeal pledge cards. The pledge cards will be in the school. Someone will be available to assist you and answer any questions. Since this is the first Sunday of the month, coffee and donuts will be served at school instead of the church hall. Everyone is welcome to stop at the school for refreshments.

FEAST OF THE ASCENSION

Just a reminder that the Feast of the Ascension will be celebrated on Sunday, May 12^th

not on Thursday, May 9^th. The decision was made and went into effect last year when the Bishops of Missouri decided to transfer the Solemnity of the Ascension from Thursday to the following Sunday. The same principle will be followed in the coming years. The 7^th Sunday of Easter will be replaced with the Solemnity of the Ascension.

Congratulations to William and Edna Forshee who will be celebrating their 60^th wedding anniversary on May 9^th. William and Edna were married at St. Joseph Church in Farmington, Missouri, on May 9, 1942 by Fr. L. Dierker. William and Edna had 4 children. Let us congratulate them as they renew their wedding vows at the 10:00 a.m. Mass this weekend.

A MILLION ROSARIES FOR LIFE

On Saturday, May 11^th, at 8:00 a.m. please join the nationwide prayer initiative, A Million Rosaries for Life. All people, who hold human life sacred, are encouraged to pray, in an Hour of Unity, the JOYFUL MYSTERIES of the rosary during the 8 o’clock hour. Members of the Archdiocesan Pro-Life Network will lead the rosary on WRYT, 1080 AM radio at 8:00 a.m. Please remember to pray for the unborn that they may have life.

The members of the D of I will serve the Top Ten Dinner hosted by the Rotary on Monday, May 6^th, at North County High School. Members are asked to make 2 pies for the desserts. Please call Claudine at 358-7516 or Jeanette at 358-3830 if you have questions or would like to help.

The next meeting of the D of I will be on Monday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. All members are encouraged to attend.

Extra tickets and flyers are available in the back of church and the church rectory. Please help support and advertise the Festival.

Next weekend, everyone is asked to bring the name and address of a friend you would like to invite to the festival. Stamped post cards and pencils will be available in the church pews. You will be asked to fill out the card and the ushers will pick them up and they will be mailed. If you need extra post cards to invite other friends, please feel free to take as many as you will use.

CHARISMATIC MASS

The Charismatic Mass scheduled for Saturday, May 18, at 7:00 p.m. has been cancelled. Please watch the bulletin for a rescheduled date.

REMINDER

There are still several air conditioners for sale. If you are interested, please call the rectory.

When bad things happen consider this: Jesus knows just how you feel. Without cause, he was beaten, tortured, shamed, and murdered. He didn’t deserve any of it. Ask Jesus to help make your sufferings easier to bear.
