Stewardship Thoughts
May 17, 2015 - Ascension of Our Lord
"Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God,
God abides in him, and he in God." - 1 John 4:15
How strong is your faith? When you have an opportunity to defend your faith or clarify a question
about your faith, do you do it? Or, do you remain
silent? Pray for the courage to be strong in your
faith and share your witness with others.

Council of Catholic Women
Sunday May 17, 2015
invites the entire parish to a celebration of accomplishment for our graduating high school seniors.

PCCW BULLETIN UPDATE:

PCCW Update:
Thank you to everyone who assisted with and supported the Spring Fling. Proceeds in the amount of
$4700 was approved to be paid to the Church towards our Care and Share commitment. Colleen
Murray reported while there was only a small crowd,
it was very nice, kid friendly and fun for all. Special
thanks to Julie Snellman, Bridgette Ereaux, Kathy
King and the April/October band members for organizing.
Easter Cleaning went well, thanks were extended to
chairperson Becky Anderson and all the band members who assisted. The flooring project for the kitchen, meeting room and serving area in the basement
have been put on hold until all funds are raised. CoChair Mary Lundstrom reported the KCs are willing
to assist and we hope to have a bakeless bake sale
in June to raise the additional $1400.

Our seniors will be her e in cap and gown on

Sunday, May 17th. Following Mass we will have a

parish-wide brunch for the graduates and their
families in the church basement.
Please join us in celebrating this milestone in our
young peoples lives.

Catholic Communication Campaign

May 17, 2015
Our lives are constantly shaped by communication
through the internet, radio and print. Pope Francis
reminds us that communication is ultimately a human rather than technological achievement.
Through the Catholic Communication Campaign, we
can encounter others in the light of the
Gospel (Message for the 48th World

Communications day)

The May/November band will host a special brunch

reception for all high school graduates on May 17th
following Mass. Everyone was encouraged to join in
this fellowship honor our students and their families.
PCCW will not hold regular meetings during the
summer and encourage band members and others to
contact CoChairs Toni Ziegler and Mary Lundstrom
if they have questions or concerns regarding monthly
duties and special events.

Youth & Young Adult Ministry

Youth and Young Adults are the future of our
Church in this diocese! The Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana is currently raising funds to launch
a new, dedicated diocesan-wide ministry for Youth
and Young Adults. This is a deeply-felt void in our
diocese and one that many people are asking to see
filled. Because of the charitable gifts received to
date, our diocese is currently interviewing candidates
to fill the role of a dynamic, new director. None of
this would be possible without the generosity of
anonymous donors who offered a challenge to match
up to $100,000 from gifts given by people throughout our diocese. Will you help us meet this challenge?
All gifts help! Currently, we have raised $52,000 toward our $100,000 goal. To make a gift that will be
matched, simply send to the Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana, PO Box 1399, Great Falls, MT
59403-1399 and note that it is for Youth and Young
Adult Ministry. You will receive a tax receipt for
your contribution. You may also designate your gift
to the new Youth and Young Adult Ministry Endowment, if you prefer.
Questions? Please call the Foundation at 800-3329998, ext. 120. God bless you for helping us build a
strong future for God's Church in our diocese!

A Daily Prayer for Priests

Dear Saint Gabriel, your very name recalls your particular devotion to Christ, the Man of Sorrows, and to
Mary, his Afflicted Mother. You died young as a Passionist religious but left to us all an example of a life
of Christ like sacrifice. Intercede for our seminarians
and young religious, who are in desperate need of
your patronage amid today's sensual and selfish
world. Amen.

Parental sessions are required.

Marriages: Six month couple pr epar ation per iod

Year of Consecrated Life 2015

St. Paul says we should put on Virtue; we should
wear compassion, kindness, patience, gentlenesscolorful and obvious outfits. Paul want us to wear
our allegiance to Christ- on our sleeves if you willnot as a boast like a Gucci or Prada logo, but as a
simple, humble sign that this woman, this man, this
youngster belongs to Christ and youll know it because you can see that she or he is dressed in love.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
