A Mother's Prayer for Priests
Dear Heavenly Father, Today I offer you all the
work and rest, all the trial and triumph, all the
sorrow and joy, of my vocation as a mother, in
honor and thanksgiving, and for the benefit of
Your holy priests. Striving to be holy, I unite
myself with Mary, our Blessed Mother, in giving
all I have to You for Your holy priests. Please
keep them strong and faithful, pure and holy,
and always in Your will. Amen.
Please pray for all seminarians.
Your prayers and support make a difference.
Help in creating a culture of vocation.

V O C A T I O N C O R N E R
As we honor the Mother of
our Lord as the “Queen of
May,” may there be a
greater respect and
appreciation for all women
on earth who
nourish us in
mind, body
and soul.
LITURGICAL MINISTERS
As we work through ways to
accommodate the COVID-19
restrictions while having public
Mass, ministers’ duties may change.
So, for the next few weeks, Deacon
Steve and parish staff will be
scheduling ministers for the
weekend liturgies. Thank you for
your patience as we adjust to the
new requirements.
MASS ATTENDANCE
Bishop McKnight has dispensed us
from the obligation to attend
Sunday Mass until June 30, 2020.
Those who are at risk because of
underlying health issues or are over
60 are strongly encouraged, for
their own health, to avoid the risk of
attending public celebrations of
the Mass.

PARISH NEWS & EVENTS
PARISH SCHOOL NEWS
PUBLIC MASS ATTENDANCE We will be following the Bishop’s directives for
attendance at public Mass. When you come to Mass,
please be aware of the following expectations and
restrictions:
Please do not come to Mass if you aren’t feeling well
or have a temperature.
We have a limited supply of hand sanitizer, so if you
have your own, feel free to bring it with you.
Everyone (except babies and small toddlers) must
wear a mask from the time you exit your car until you
are seated with your family. You may remove your
mask and keep it off while you are sitting in the body
of church (or the gym). You must then put on your
mask when going to Communion, removing it only
briefly when you receive Holy Communion. You may
then remove it when you have returned to your seat.
Finally, you must put the mask back on when you are
exiting the church (or gym). You will not be allowed to
enter the church (or gym) without a mask.
Everyone needs to maintain the appropriate six-foot
distancing outside and in the church (or gym).
Communion will be administered only in the hand.
FAREWELL FR. BASIL Fr. Basil has received his orders to report for duty to the
U.S. Air Force as a chaplain. He will be leaving the parish
around May 17. If you would like to drop off a card or
greeting for him, there will be a basket in the back of
church. Please pray for him as he begins this new
endeavor serving our country.
PICNIC QUILTS NEEDED At this point, we are planning on the assumption that we
will be having a parish picnic this year. If you have a
new/unused finished quilt to donate to the picnic,
please contact Janet Hirschman at 573-257-1047 or
Annette Borghardt at 573-353-9681. Please let us know
as soon as possible in order for us to be able to
determine if we will have both the quilt wheel and quilt
auction or just one due to limited quilts. All quilts should
be turned in by June 1, if possible. Please provide the
following information for any quilts you turn in : 1)Name
of quilt, 2) color, 3) size, 4)donated by, 5) pieced by,
6)embroidered by, 7) marked by, 8) quilted by or
machine quilted by. Thank you for your time and talent
to support the parish!
JAGUAR UPDATE When school was cancelled in mid-March, we were all
asked to quickly re-shift our priorities, move our learning
and growing to an online format, and day-by-day, we
have tried to channel our eagerness to return to our
normal spring routine. A few of our typical Spring
activities were still able to move forward; they simply
look and feel very different. We are still able to attend
all-school Mass via Facebook each week, our PreK
students still witnessed the life cycle of a caterpillar to a
butterfly and our 8th grade students are still taking
center stage as we plan other ways to celebrate their
achievements and accomplishments. We are eager to
help them experience all the traditions established
throughout the history of St. Martin, but for now we have
planned a beautiful Mass. Please join us on June 16 at
6:00pm on the parish Facebook page to celebrate the
St. Martin Class of 2020. Together, with your help, we
look forward to recognizing this special class and all they
have experienced, accomplished, and learned while
attending St. Martin School.
