Fifth Sunday of Easter
Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 6th, 2007
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Sisters and brothers, with grateful hearts we worship God for the gifts so generously bestowed on us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In him, all things are made new.
Today we open our hearts to receive Christ's new commandment that we love one another as he has loved us. Throughout this Easter season we ponder that love, which gained for us the promise of eternal life. As we are drawn into the vision of Saint John in the book of Revelation, let us pray for a strengthening of our love for one another.
The month of May is dedicated to Mary, Mother of God. Let us pray with Mary to her Son, now and always.
MAY FRIENDSHIP DAY
All women of the parish are invited to join in prayer at 11:30 am, on Friday, Ma 11 at the 1st United Methodist Church, at 804 N. Jefferson for May Friendship Day. May Friendship Day unites Christian Women in a common worship experience building and strengthening friendly relationships within our community. This year's theme encourages us to dialogue about the things that will create compassionate and peaceful friendsips with voiceless and faceless sisters in our city, community, and the world. An overwhelming number of households headed by women still live in poverty. Our concern is for the empowerment of women and children who fall through the cracks of an unfair system. Sponsored by Church Women United, this annual ecumenical event is an opportunity to worship together and show our support for a just, peaceful and caring world. This servie will include a salad luncheon and the Least Coin collection, so please bring a salad to share and coins for the offering.
Pray for those receivinig their First Communion, May 6th at 11:00 am Mass
