So we are rebuilding our Respect Life Committee to serve our con-gregation and our larger community. We would like to know what your needs are in the area of life issues, and whether you would like to help us in this exciting ministry.Please con-tact our Respect Life coordinators: Mary Oliveros (904-377-0698 or Nancy Ste Marie (904-392-8463.

Are you looking for a truly special way to honor the mother in your life on Mother’s Day?

The Respect Life Committee will be offer-ing exceptionally beautiful Mother’s Day cards for sale after Mass the weekends of April 28-29 and also May 5-6. These cards come with a wonderful some-thing extra: You can fill out an intention card for that spe-cial mother, and these cards will be placed at the altar are just $5 each, cash or check, and proceeds benefit our parish’s Respect Life activities.

From The Pastor’s Desk

Dear Parishioners,

This coming Tuesday May 8th there will be a meeting for all those participating in Eucharistic Adoration. If you signed up for a specific day and hour or even if you are substitute adorer, you need to attend one of the following meetings: 10 a.m. or 7 p.m. in the Parish Church. Packets with card opener will be handed to each adorer. We will go over procedures for your time in the chapel. If, for some reason, you cannot attend either of these meetings, please let Deborah Harvey, our coordinator, know as soon as possible to obtain your packet. (904) 599-7732. Again, I want to thank everyone for signing up for adoration. Your time with Jesus will be the best time of the day!

The month of May is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. I encourage everyone to recite the Holy Rosary every day, especially with your families. If you are not famil-iar with this ancient Catholic devotion, we have pam-phlets in the Church. Also, please be aware that we recite the Rosary after all the weekday masses. The late Father Patrick Peyton, known famously as the Ro-sary priest, once said: “The family that prays together, stays together.” How true!

The Solemnity of the Ascension, which typically falls on a Thursday, is transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. So there is no obligation to attend mass on Thursday, May 10th.

And now some funnies:

#1 – A man was going to the county fair one day with a pig under one arm and a chicken under one arm, and a basket on his head. He came to a crossroads and didn't know which way to turn. While he stood there decid-ing, a young woman approached him, heading the same direction. "Please, ma'am, I'm on the way to the county fair. Can you tell me which way to go?" "Yes," she replied. "I'm on my way there, too. We'll go right down this way about a mile, turn left about a mile and a half, left again about a mile and we're right there." He said, "Wait a minute... down here, turn left and left again? Couldn't we save a lot of time by walking through these woods?" She replied, "Yes, we could. But I couldn't walk through those woods with you. Why... you might try to kiss me!"

"Listen," he said, "how could I possibly kiss any-body with a pig under one arm, a chicken under one arm and a basket on my head?" "Well," she replied, "you could put that chicken on the ground, turn the basket upside down over the chicken, and I could hold that little bitty ole pig."

#2 - Two friends went out to play golf and were about to tee off, when one fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball. "Don't you have at least one other golf ball?", he asked. The other guy replied that no, he only needed the one. "Are you sure?", the friend persisted. "What hap-pens if you lose that ball?" The other guy replied, "This is a very special golf ball. I won't lose it so I don't need another one." Well," the friend asked, "what happens if you miss your shot and the ball goes in the lake?" "That's okay," he replied, "this special golf ball floats. I'll be able to retrieve it." "Well what happens if you hit it into the trees and it gets lost among the bushes and shrubs?" The other guy replied, "That's okay too. You see, this special golf ball has a homing beacon. I'll be able to get it back -- no problem." Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you hit your ball into a sand trap. What are you going to do then?" "No problem," says the other guy, "you see, this ball is florescent. I'll be able to see it in the dark." Finally satisfied that he needs only the one golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?" The other guy replies, "I found it."

#3 - Church Bulletin Bloopers: 1) Scouts are saving aluminum cans, bottles, and oth-er items to be recycled. Proceeds will be used to crip-ple children. 2) The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visi-tors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any church. 4) Evening massage - 6 p.m. 5) The Pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregation would lend him their electric gir-dles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday morning. 6) The audience is asked to remain seated until the end of the recession. 7) Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 to 8:30 p.m. Please use the back door. Fr. Murphy

Your words please Me, and your thanksgiving opens up new treasures of graces. But, My child, we should talk in more detail about the things that lie in your heart. Let us talk confidently and frankly, as two hearts that love another do.
