This is a very exciting time of the year for all of us.

The list of events seems to be endless - Graduations, First Communions, Baptisms,

Weddings, Vacations, Concerts, Memorial Day Celebrations and many more events that will call

upon our minds, hearts and attention.

A recent event that I attended was the ‘Retirement Ceremony’ for #8 worn by Michael Monteleone.

It was held on the 15th Anniversary of this Lincoln Student/Athlete's death.

At Nichols Field it was sad to remember the death of a young man full of hope, promise and vitality, but it was an honor to be present with his family and friends as he was remembered and honored. It was a moment when hope was renewed in the knowledge that Michael is remembered by his

community and that good is done in Michael’s name.

There are meetings that need the attention

of the community.

The reconvening of the Cemetery Advisory Committees for St. James and St. Ambrose.

The meetings will be :

St. James Cemetery Advisory Committee Tuesday May 21, 2019 - 7:30

St. James Parish Office

St. Wednesday Cemetery Advisory Committee Wednesday May 22, 2019 - 6:30

St. Ambrose Parish Office

‘GRATEFUL for God’s Providence’

Our Lady’s Month of May

In a time of lost innocence, the faith of three children inspired

thousands and helped the world believe in miracles. Mary's messages at Fatima

have been promoted by Popes, approved by the Church, and

validated by over 70,000 witnesses. Fr. Jason Brooks brings to light why Fatima is regarded by many as the most

important spiritual event of the past 100 years. BONUS: Fr. Shannon Collins, retreat master and well known speaker on EWTN, explains the

intended impact and opportunity of the messages of Fatima on the spiritual lives of believers today.

In Sympathy

“Hail Mary,

full of grace..”

“I give you a new commandment:*

love one another.

As I have loved you,

so you also should love one another.

This is how all will know that you are my disciples,

if you have love for one another.”
