A BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR US, THE CHURCH!

Next Sunday, May 18, 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. in SPH

We start with a delicious summer lunch,

complete with birthday cake and balloons!

Are you wondering WHY A BIRTHDAY PARTY? Today we celebrate Pentecost and Mothers' Day. Pentecost is the birth-day of our church. Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit; our church was born. So today celebrate the beautiful gift from God, mothers. Next Sunday, join us to celebrate the irreplaceable gift from Jesus. Please RSVP to the Parish Center, 892-6031.

Blue Mass for police officers, firefighters and first responders.

Bishop Robert J. Carlson invites public safety personnel to a special Mass in recognition of their life-giving service. 10 a.m. - June 1, St. Mary Cathedral, 615 Hoyt Ave., Saginaw, Michigan.

This Week's Gospel Reflection (June 20:19-23)

Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."

See page 3 of the bulletin for a summary of this week's Gospel.

ADULT QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

How do you feel personally challenged by the message of Pentecost? What will you do in response this year?
