WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS – SUNDAY, MAY 3 On the fourth Sunday of Easter, Christians are invited to reflect on the meaning of God’s call & to pray for vocations. The Vatican Council documents (Church, Bishops, priesthood, religious life, laity, Church in the modern world) speak of the ways in which God calls us to serve and work for the spread of His Kingdom. Christ the Good Shepherd continues to lead His people through His Bishops, priests & deacons and calls many to follow Him in this way. The whole Christian community shares the responsibility for fostering vocations. The first step is to live in a full Christian manner. Families with a lively spirit of faith, love and reverence contribute greatly to this work. Spiritually active parishes, where people take a full part, help to promote vocations. ROSARY APOSTOLATE PROGRAM in the schools is seeking volunteers who have devotion to the Mother of God & are willing to visit St Anne’s & St. Paul’s Schools in the Fall to pray the rosary with the children once a month. Call Maria 745-3823 EXPLANATION OF THE PARTS OF THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION A weekly continuation for your information LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Washing of the Hands: During the preparation of the gifts, the washing of the hands is a reminder of Baptism. The words said by the priest while his hands are washed are “Lord wash away my iniquity, cleanse me of my sins.” (note, that in the early Church, when hygiene was a concern, the washing of the hands had a practical purpose.)
