Wednesday, May 7, 2025, 7:30p: Bishop McNamara 4th Degree Assembly monthly meeting, St. John's Regional School.
May 10 & 11, 2025 MOTHER'S DAY MARY GOLD PROGRAM - As we have done for many years, we will be giving live Marigolds to the mothers in our parish after Masses that weekend, in the name of our Holy Mother Mary, and thanking them for choosing life for their children.
This worthy pro-life effort will consist of two separate actions.
First, on Saturday morning, May 10, we will meet in the cafeteria at 7:30 am to transfer 480 marigolds from twenty-five flats into individual flower cups. This effort should take less than two hours, depending on the amount of volunteers who show up. The more who come, the more rewarding and easier it is. Please bring a pair of scissors or shears to cut open the thin plastic flats.
Second, we need volunteers to hand out marigolds and greet and thank our parish mothers after the Saturday (May 11) 5 pm and 7 pm Masses and Sunday (May 12) 9am and 11am Masses. Volunteers need to step outside IMMEDIATELY after communion to be ready to greet our parish mothers.
For both events, please contact Br. Sean McFarland beforehand if you can, to help us anticipate who will be there. This event takes a strong member response to be successful.
