BAPTISMS: Presenting a child for Baptism is a serious
obligation and requires a faith commitment on the part of the parents
and godparents. This commitment is exemplified by being a practicing,
active Catholic. Parents are obligated to attend a preparation session
before a child’s baptism if they have not attended one in the past
five years. Sessions are held at 1:15 p.m. on second Sundays of
January, March, May, July, September and November, in the Parish
Activity Center. Baptisms are at 1:15 p.m. on the third Sunday of
each month except in April when Baptism will be held on the
second Sunday.
WEDDINGS: Please phone the parish office to set-up an
appointment with a priest, in order to begin the sacramental
preparation. Only after this initial meeting and assessment can a date
be set for the wedding. The process requires at least 6 months.
COUNSELING SERVICES: Offered by Bob Skipper at
Spiritual Center of Maria Stein 1-937-299-9005.
NEW PARISHIONERS ARE WELCOME Please come to the parish office to register. If you have a change of
address, phone number or email, please inform the parish office.
THE THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER, MAY 5, 2019
Dear Parishioner,
Congratulations to the young boys and girls
from I.C. Parish celebrating their First Communion
at I.C. this weekend. We pray that they may be
united more closely to the Lord Jesus through the
gift of his body and blood and reverence the gift of
the Eucharist all the days of their lives. Thanks to
Joyce Johnson, Tiffany Pierstorff and the First
Communion teachers Judy Hellwarth, Kelli
Grieshop, Julie Johnsman and Sara Jutte for
sharing the gift of faith. You have not only taught,
but also witnessed. And thanks to the parents, the
first and foremost teachers of their children in the
ways of faith. Your witness of faith is a blessing that
will flourish in your sons and daughters for years to
come.
Fr. Ken & Fr. Vince
2019 World Day of Prayer for Vocations
The World Day of Prayer will be observed on
Sunday, May 12, also known as "Good Shepherd
Sunday." The purpose of this day is to publically
fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the
harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38;
Lk 10:2). Please pray that young men and women
hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the
priesthood, diaconate, religious life, societies of
apostolic life or secular institutes. You can find many
resources to promote a culture of vocations on the
USCCB Vocations webpage (www.usccb.org/
vocations).
Catholic Relief Services Collection
“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one
of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt
25:40). Today, we are reminded that Jesus identified
himself with our poorest brothers and sisters. The
Catholic Relief Services Collection serves Jesus in
the victims of human trafficking, those who suffer
from unjust laws, and those who need pastoral care
and humanitarian assistance across the globe.
Through supporting today’s collection, you help
Jesus in disguise. Please be generous. Learn more
about the collection at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.
† Vocation Cross † May 12-18 -- Tom & Donna Hartke
May 19-25 -- John & Myra Hileman
