The month of May is a special time when we honor Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary showed courage when she put her trust in God and said yes to His plan for her.

Please join me in praying for the second graders and our Religious Education students as they prepare to receive their First Holy Communion this weekend.
Have a blessed week and Happy Mother’s Day!
