The Knights of Columbus and the Ladies Auxiliary is sponsoring a

prayers are requested. These names will be read during the service. This Parish Prayer Service begins with the Exposition of the
Most Blessed Sacrament, reading of the names of those for
whom we are praying, the Rosary, hymns, a Litany, and concludes with Benediction. You need not be a member of the
Knights of Columbus to participate or to have your requests included. Please call Will Alt at 972-423-9450 to add names to the

The Serra Club is a worldwide organization that fosters
vocations. Each year the Serra Clubs sponsor a weekend event for men and women to have the opportunity
to explore various Religious Vocations and what it
means to have a calling. It gives the participants the
opportunity to discuss on a one-to-one basis what it
means to be part of the religious life. The raffle tickets
support our vocation programs, not just VAP.
Please show your support for Vocations by buying
raffle tickets after Mass on May 16-17
