+ Confirmation Week: As our candidates prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday, this week we look at the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Today we reflect upon Fortitude. What does this gift mean to you?

+ Pastoral Council openings: We are currently seeking nominations for additional membership on the Parish Pastoral Council. In consultation with the Pastor, the Pastoral Council actively assists to identify and respond to the needs/concerns of the parish and promote dialogue among all. Please join your fellow parishioners in serving our parish community in this important capacity. All are encouraged to submit their names for consideration by May 9, 2021. The selection process will be held at each Mass on Pentecost weekend (May 22 & 23). Please contact Fr. Jim (722-3988) or Marilee Beyer (570-934-0976) for more information.

Bring your families and lawn chairs for some awesome music, meaningful message and great company. We might even get the grill going! Come join Jeremy Bobak and his band for a wonderful evening out.
