- Summer is coming and the SVDP needs your help. Soon our students will be home from school all day during the summer.

Thanks for your continued support.

- We are in desperate need of volunteers to be of service to the church. We need a few volunteers that can help Charles Davis with some maintenance tasks for our church. An example of a task that we are asking someone to take over is: Spray the exterior and interior of the building for pest/bugs 3 – 4 times annually. The cost of the pesticide spray will be reimbursed. Yvonne Crowdus is in desperate need of volunteers to be of service in washing and ironing the altar linens after our Mass services.

- A Silver Rose on a nine-month pilgrimage will be the centerpiece of a special prayer service at St. Thomas More Parish in Paducah, KY on Sunday, June 1 at 2:30 p.m. Sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Divine Mercy Council #11591, the program is a rosary-centered service for Knights, parishioners, and community members to pray for respect life, for the spiritual renewal of each nation, and for the advancement of the message of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Silver Rose Program began in 1960, when the first rose – a real, live one – was blessed by a bishop in Ontario. The rose then traveled to New York and then to Texas where it was taken across the border into Mexico. The rose ended its pilgrimage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. To better ensure future annual trips, a silver rose was ultimately made. Today, due to the popularity of the program throughout the North American continent, eight silver roses travel unique routes. The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico. All members of the community are encouraged to join K of C Council #11591on June 1st to pray for a civilization of love and culture of life in our own country and throughout the world.

Our Lady of the Rosary
The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus — his birth, life, death and resurrection. The Our Fathers remind us that Jesus’ Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Mary’s remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glorys remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.
