For The People of the Parish (SH) May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you! — Psalm 67:6 Our limited human understanding cannot begin to understand the immense power of God. Instead of trusting in God, we think we can control every outcome. Do you want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety or fear creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust that He has a better plan for you. Nuestra limitada comprensión humana no puede ni comenzar a entender el inmenso poder de Dios. En lugar de confiar en Dios, creemos que podemos controlar cada resultado. ¿Quieres hacer reír a Dios? ¡Cuéntale tus planes! La próxima vez, que la preocupación, la ansiedad o el miedo te arrastren, agradece a Dios por todo lo que Él te ha dado y confía en que Él tiene un mejor plan para ti. Sacrificial Giving: Thank You!

St. James Flowers at the Tabernacle: Betty Neubauer Flowers at the Altar: in memory of Duncan/Machelle Neubauer by family Sacred Heart Flowers at the Altar: Community

THE GIFT OF PEACE “There arose no little dissension and debate.” Did that happen at work this week? Most of us can recall run-ins with coworkers, even with the boss. Did it happen while socializing with friends? Go easy on politics, religion . . . even sports. At home? Even the most peaceful household experiences a little “give and take” now and then. So where was it that “there arose no little dissension and debate”? That tumultuous conflict occurred among our first Christian ancestors, disrupting the community life of the early church. But today’s Acts of the Apostles shows how beautifully the Holy Spirit, promised by Jesus in today’s Gospel, helped the church achieve a grace-filled resolution. What evolved was that “reconciled diversity,” often encouraged by Pope Francis and even envisioned in today’s Revelation passage; and a wondrous experience of Jesus’ promised Gospel gift: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A new Monstrance for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was blessed by Fr. Stan on Sunday, May 19. The Monstrance donate in memory of Jerome F.

The family is very grateful for this Catholic Community which Jerome loved and has been part of for over 55 years and want to thank you for your kindness and love.
