PENTECOST: The SPIRIT of the Lord has filled the world (Wisdom: 1-2)
Recent happenings at the IHM Spirituality Center…
Morning Stretch for Little Learners’ Moms. This was an energetic and informative
exercise group led by Sue O’Connell. Stay tuned. Sue is going to offer a morning and
evening session in the fall. Space will be limited, so sign up early.
Mary, a Model For Today’s Women was presented by Kathy McIntyre. Kathy’s insights,
passion and keen understanding was a good reminder of a contemporary Mary, with whom
all could identify. Mary’s unwavering “YES” as a pregnant teen, a homeless mom, refugee,
widow, mother who witnessed her son’s suffering and brutal death, answered God’s call.
And she answered it from the Annunciation to her death. May we all have that same
prayerful strength to answer “YES”.
What’s coming up...
Thursday, May 28th at 9:15 am: Longing for the Holy
A fun faith sharing group led by Melissa Bianco, meeting for their final session this spring.
This joyous group grows each week, sharing life’s faith journey. Great gals meeting to
spark and challenge themselves to live life in the Spirit. A new group will begin in the fall,
meeting once a week for 6 weeks.
Saturday, May 30th at 8:00 am: Men’s Faith Group.
A relaxing and insightful prayerful time open to all men of the parish.
May you have a Powerful Pentecost.

2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal
Serving God by Serving Others
Monday is Memorial Day, and we would like to recognize and show our
appreciation to all who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and
the freedoms we enjoy.
We would like to ask you to take a moment tomorrow to pray for those
that have served and are serving our nation. Many families have lost
loved ones, and our military men and women that have survived will
face countless struggles and challenges for the rest of their lives.
On Monday when we honor and celebrate their service and sacrifice,
let us also remember the once homeless veterans, who because of your
support of the Catholic Ministries Appeal, have been helped through
our ministries and programs like Catholic Charities Project Veterans’
Independence.
Thank you for your support! You make a difference in the lives of so
many through your prayers and generosity!
To learn more about a Veteran who was helped by Project Veterans’
Independence, please visit our Web Site at: catholicministriesappeal.org
