MASS INTENTIONS

Please remember to offer Masses for your special intentions; especially your departed loved ones. Also, please pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in Canada.

We need to be close to Jesus Christ in his Eucharistic Sacrifice.

If you would like a Mass said, please see Father Joe.

Did you know that praying the Rosary in church, you gain a plenary indulgence? Check it out in the green books, pages 40-42.

Rejoice, Jesus Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

During the Easter season we say Queen of Hearts, page 83 instead of the Angelus. We will also meditate on the Glorious Mysteries on Mon., Wed. and Friday. On Thursday, we meditate on the mysteries of light to remind us Jesus among us.

You are invited to join us in praying the Rosary, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7:40 a.m.

Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint.

April 13 St. Martin I (d. 655)

When Martin I became pope in 649, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine empire and the patriarch of Constantinople was the most influential Church leader in the eastern Christian world. The struggles that existed within the Church at that time were magnified by the close cooperation of emperor and patriarch.
