8:00 AM

12:15 PM (STELLA MARIS)

4:00 PM & 7:30 PM

May is a month of spe-

cial Marian devotion to our

Blessed Mother. The Catholic

tradition of “May Crowning”

celebrates and honors our

Mother Mary, Queen of Heav-

en. This year our May Crown-

ing will be led by members of

the Parish Youth Group and

will take place at the 12:00 Noon Mass on Sunday,

May 6. All are invited and welcome. Our Marian

devotions this month will also include the celebra-

tion of the new memorial “Mary, Mother of the

Church” at the 7:00 p.m. Mass on Monday, May

21(the day immediately following Pentecost Sun-

day).

Thank-you to Scout Jack McCrae!! As his Life Scout Project he or-ganized a food collection for our St. Vincent de Paul Society’s Food Pantry. He and his fellow scouts of Troop #58, collected over 4,000 units of food (far more than expected!). They delivered this food last Sunday (in between the marathoners!) - it filled the stage in the down-stairs Lower Church to overflowing and then some! Please see the ac-companying photo. Thank you, Jack, for a great project! You earned a badge from us!!

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is in need of volunteers to help answer phones a few times a month, as well as donation collectors (the women and men with the coffee cans at the

Church doors) for the Masses on the third weekend of each month. We also can use home visitors to meet with people of our community to find out how we can best serve them. Please call 732-483-0360 ext.113

New Jersey

MARATHON

The New Jersey Mara-

thon was last Sunday

(April 29). Thousands

of Marathoners ran past the church TWICE – southbound toward Asbury Park

and northbound to the finish line. Volunteers from the St. Michael’s Hospitality

Committee and Youth Group were there to provide them with water and encour-

agement and High Fives! If you did not attend Mass at St. Michael’s last week-

end due to the Marathon or for other reasons, please remember to include your

April 29 stewardship donation to the parish in this weekend’s collection basket

or next weekend’s collection basket or please drop it off or mail it to the parish

office. As you will see on Page 4 of this bulletin, the weekly collection was

lower than usual last week (most likely attributable to the Marathon). But, of

course, the parish’s

bills and expenses do

not run any lower due

to the Marathon.

Thanks for your gener-

osity and attention

towards parish steward-

ship.

Bon Voyage, Leo

and Cristina! And

God Bless!

Our 11-year-old

parishioner Leo Olsen

and his mother Cristina are now on their pilgrim-

age to Lourdes, France as guests of the Knights

and Dames of Malta. They are carrying with them

the hundreds of prayer cards that were provided by

parishioners last weekend. Pictured in this photo

(in front of the Lady of Lourdes Grotto at the rear

of our church) are Leo and his mother and grand-

mother Peggy along with Fr. Butler, Fr. Lankford-

Stokes, and altar servers Joe Mirarchi and Paul

Boucher shortly after last Saturday’s Send-Off

Mass for Leo. Please keep Leo and Cristina and

their fellow pilgrims in your prayers this week.

Spring Clean-Up, Etc.

Our repairs to the church roof are com-

pleted and will keep the church safe and wa-

ter-tight for several years (please God!!!).

Our attention and resources in the area of

Buildings & Grounds are now turning to the

wooded area adjacent to the North Parking

Lot and to the garage. This area has become seriously overgrown over the past 5-10 years and work began

this week (please see the accompanying photos) to prune trees, to remove stumps, to cut and clear ivy and un-

dergrowth, etc. Ralph DeVito and Lars Jensen and their teams have already done remarkable work and the

project will continue into the Spring and early Summer. Let us (a) be grateful that the parish has sufficient

cash on-hand to undertake and complete these costly projects and (b) be mindful of the debt, obligation, and

responsibility that we owe to the St. Michael’s parishioners of the past and of the future to replenish those

funds. Our parish’s healthy financial condition is a great blessing that has enabled us to cover the costs to

keep our historic and beautiful church and

the parish grounds in good condition…and to

do so immediately when the work is needed

without having to defer the work pending the

raising of the necessary funds. This is a

blessing and a luxury that many parishes

lack. May we have a generous heart to rec-

ognize and reciprocate these blessings.


ST. MICHAEL’S VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

SEND YOUR CHILDREN ON AN OVER THE TOP

UNDERGROUND ADVENTURE!!

At “Shipwrecked Catholic Vacation Bible School,” children discover how Jesus rescues us

through life’s storms. “Shipwrecked” is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences

that children see, hear, touch, and even taste! Science-Fun Gizmos™, team-building games,

informative and entertaining Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout ac-

tivities that help faith flow into real life. Since everything is hands-on, children might get a

little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes. Plus, we’ll help the chil-

dren discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life-something we call God Sight-

ings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot! This will be their best week of the summer!

FOR CHILDREN: Ages 4 through 9

LOCATION: St. Michael’s Church, Long Branch, New Jersey

“SHIPWRECKED” WILL LAST FROM: Monday, July 23RD through Friday, July 27TH

THE FUN BEGINS AT 9:30AM AND ENDS AT 12:00 NOON EACH DAY.

For more information, please call 732-222-8080.

Also, please call the Parish Office if you would like to volunteer to help out at Vacation Bible School this year!
