**SUPPORT OUR SEMINARIANS WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND GIFTS: This weekend, you have the opportunity to support our seminarians who have discerned a call to serve as priests, the next shepherds of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. All Parishes and Parochial Communities of the Ordinariate are hosting a second collection for the I Will Give You Shepherds Capital Campaign for Priestly Formation. Thank you for your support of the seminarians who have so generously responded to the call to serve the Lord, the Church and all of us.
You may find donation cards and pre-addressed envelopes in the pews. Checks should be made payable to “Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter” and sealed in the envelopes provided together with a completed donation card. Gifts will be collected during Mass or you may send your gift directly to the Chancery using the pre-addressed envelope. Be sure to include a completed donation card in your envelope. You may also give online at THIS LINK.
While the need is great, no gift is too small. Thank you for your prayerful consideration!

**ESTATE PLANNING PRESENTATION: On April 26 at Adult Forum, Steve Lybrand will be providing an educational discussion and taking questions on Estate Planning (Wills / Powers of Attorney / Probate). Whether you are parents of young children, have a child about to graduate high school, or are planning for healthcare in the coming years for yourself or aging parents, you will receive information valuable for your situation. Steve is the Executive Director of Rosemont Elder Law, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose educational seminars are part of their 501(c)(3) mission to the public.

**SCHEDULE CHANGE: Due to Fr. Keyes’ travel schedule, there will be no mass on Wednesday, April 29. Neither will mass or confessions be offered on Friday, May 1. Lay-led adoration will still be available.

**MAY CROWNING: Join us on Mother’s Day (May 10) as we honor Our Lady, Mother of the Church, with the traditional May Crowning and an outdoor procession following our 10 am solemn mass.

**CORPUS CHRISTI JOINT CELEBRATION: On June 7, we are planning a joint celebration of Mass with our friends at Sacred Heart parish up the road. Solemn Mass (Ordinary Form) there at 10:15 followed by a procession down the hill ending here at SJB with Benediction and a picnic. Knights of Columbus are helping coordinate transportation and food. This is going to be a lot of fun, and a great opportunity to visibly show Catholic unity in our town and give public witness to the faith. Stay tuned for more details!
