Mass Intentions for the Week
May 3, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Easter
This week we continue our discussion of the book:
The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic
, written by Matthew Kelley. The third sign is Generosity. The definition of Generosity
is “the quality of being generous; willingness to give or share; unselfishness.” Are you a generous person?
God proposes that generosity is the path to happiness. When you give your time or talent to help another person or help the church, does that make you happy? Yes? That is generosity. The world around us proposes that selfishness is the path to happiness. Do you know of someone who has every-thing but is still not happy?
Fulton Sheen stated “never measure your generosity by what you give, but by what you have left.” Generosity is a
trademark of a Dynamic Catholic. They make the connec-tion between everything they do and their Faith life. If you want to learn more about how to be inspired to be more generous, make plans to attend one of the discus-sion groups either Monday at 9:30 AM or Wednesday at 6:30 PM. Both sessions will be held in the hall. For more information, please contact Bob Horn (619)-843-8891.
Monday, May 4, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 6, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic Parish Council Item
At their last meeting, the Parish Council discussed the topic of etiquette and reverence at our Masses. To mini-mize distractions, we encourage folks to exit from the side doors as an alternate route to the restrooms rather than going through the Blessed Sacrament chapel. Young children should always be accompanied by an adult. Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining the sanc-tity of the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament chapel.
The minutes from the previous month‟s Council meeting
will now be posted on the bulletin boards at the back of the church and in the hall. We will be starting a Spiritual Book Library and would like people to donate any books they have at home that they no longer care to keep. There will be a box in the
back of the church with „Spiritual Books‟ written on it for
book donations. The library will be located in the Sun-day Sacristy.
New Library
A special Novena of Masses to honor all mothers, living
and deceased, will begin next Sunday on Mother‟s Day. If
you would like someone remembered during these Masses, you will find special Mass cards in the vestibule of the church. Please use the larger envelope and card for LIVING mothers and the smaller envelope for DECEASED moth-ers. The envelopes will be placed upon the altar during the nine consecutive Masses.
Mother’s Day Novena
First Communion & Adoration
Next Saturday,
May 9th
, we will celebrate the sacra-ment of First Holy Communion at a special 10:00 am Mass. Please keep these children and their families in your prayers as they prepare for this sacrament. With First Communion on the second Saturday of the month, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held the following Saturday,
May 16th
in the Daily Chapel.
Bishop Flores Memorial Fund
Bishop Cirilo Flores stated that “Evangelizing children and their families is one of the most vital ministries of our Church.”
Please consider a donation to help St. Columba School and all Catholic schools in our Diocese. Giving online is recom-mended. Follow the instructions at www.sandiegoknightsofcolumbus.com/bfs. You can also write a check payable to Diocese of San Diego, write Knights BFS in the memo line and place in the Sunday collection basket. Each and every gift, of ANY amount will be appreciated and ac-knowledged. Thank you for your support. Ed Ancmon, Grand Knight Council #1349
