I want to wish all the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, godmothers, and mothers of every sort a very joyous Mother's Day. It is no accident this occasion is in the month of May, of our Blessed Mother. I commend to the protection of our mothers to Mary's care and love. May God bless you and your families.
It was one year ago today that I came to celebrate Mass in Oakhurst to help Father Jerry. I must confess I was here to 'case' the place out. After witnessing such warmth and hospitality, I told the bishop that I would like to come here, and he told me to do a few more Sundays, and the deal was sealed, making my appointment final on July 1st. Again, it has been wonderful to be in your midst this past year. May God give all grace to do ministry in the name of Jesus, His Son.
Please RSVP in the office for the Volunteers/Ministry Dinner, scheduled for May 22, 2009. We must know the count by this Friday, May 15th, to order the necessary food and essentials. Call the parish office this week.
Next Sunday we will celebrate the First Communion of our parish children at the 11:00AM Mass. We are excited as we see our children come and join us at the Eucharistic Table. May they never hunger for the Bread of Life!
