Join a Ministry
In John’s Gospel, Jesus says. “Whoever hears my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me.”
Can you think of a better way to show one’s love for Jesus than by seeking out God’s will for your life? Finding God’s plan involves listening and responding.
If you think God might be calling you to serve the Church as priest, sister, brother or deacon, and you would like to explore steps you can take to listen better. Call or write Father John Solomon, Diocesan Director of Priestly and Religious Vocations (302-573-3113),
vocations@cdow.org
Could God be calling you to serve in a liturgical or musical ministry? We have a variety of ministries available for parishioners who would like to use their talents to help our parish. If you would like more information on how you could get involved, please click below.
Sixth Sunday of Easter (Mother’s Day)
John’s Gospel reminds us that we are not alone. Reassuring His followers, as Christ tells us that the Holy Spirit will always be with us.
Remaining faithful can be difficult but this passage reminds us that we are not alone. The Father has graced us with the Holy Spirit, who descended upon us and is with us always. During times when you struggle to feel His presence, remember that Jesus informs us that we are not alone. Through keeping His commandments he will be revealed.
This week consider how you are keeping His commandments. Through adhering to His commandments, we show our love to the Lord, and in showing our love to Him, His love and presence is revealed back to us.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mothers of our Parish! We pray for you who have accepted God’s call to nurture life by your maternal love and care! We pray for young women in our community that they may recognize the beauty and dignity of Christian motherhood and accept with generous love and joy their vocation.
God Bless each of you and may you always experience the respect, honor and love of your family and our whole community of faith that you deserve.
Today, we begin a special novena of Masses for all of the mothers whose names have been submitted to
us for remembrance. Mother’s Day Mass Cards are still available at the exits of church. If you wish to have
your mother remembered, please fill out the card and return it in the offertory or drop off at the Rectory Office
Ascension Day
Thursday, May 14th is Ascension Day (also known as Ascension Thursday or Feast of the Ascension) and refers to Jesus’ bodily ascending to heaven.
According to the New Testament, the Ascension of Jesus occurs 40 days after Easter on a Thursday (and ten days before Pentecost) but some and the Diocese of Wilmington celebrate it on Sunday in the seventh week following Easter Sunday. The Feast of the Ascension is one of the greatest solemnities in the Christian liturgical calendar.
The Acts of the Apostles say that after the resurrection Jesus stayed with his apostles for 40 days.
Afterwards, they came to the Mount of Olives where Jesus ascended to heaven to be with God. The following
days they prepared the faithful for Pentecost.
We will Celebrate on Sunday, May 17th. You can place your holy day offering in the same Sunday collection next weekend.
