ASCENSION OF OUR LORD

The Ascension of the Lord

“That the God of our Lord

Jesus Christ, the Father of

glory, may give you a spirit

of wisdom and revelation

resulting in knowledge of

him.”

We love and serve a God we

cannot see, yet we see Him in

everyone and everything

around us. Being good stew-

ards of all that is around us is

how we show our love of God.

MOVIE NIGHTS

THURDAYS AT 6:30 IN THE CASPER CENTER

May 24: A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS—This Academy

Award winning film reflects a portrayal of St. Thomas More as

ultimate man of conscience and as remaining true to his princi-

ples and religion under all circumstances and at all times.

MARRIAGE MOMENTS

May 13: Complaining can poison your marriage. Sure, there

are times when your spouse does something you don’t like and

you should honestly share that. Other ties you may just want to

vent. Occasional complaining is OK, but repetitive or more

than once a day makes you a sourpuss. It’s hard to love a per-

son with a bad disposition.

PARENTING POINTERS:

May 13: What does it mean to be a mother? Does it mean to

give birth? That’s only one day. If your children are old

enough, brainstorm with them things that a good mother does.

Think of the mothers who preceded you. What were their moth-

erly qualities?

THE PRESBYTERAL ORDINATION of Rev. Mr. Robert Barnell,

Rev. Mr. Brandon DeToma, Rev. Mr. David Farrell, Rev. Mr. Kien

the Assumption. The people of the Archdiocese of Louisville are

There will also be a Holy Hour offered in thanksgiving for the or-

dination on Friday, May 25, from 6 pm to 7 pm at Holy Family

Catholic Church. All are welcome to join us as we pray in vigil for

those about to be ordained.

Anyone who serves alcohol at functions must attend an Alcohol

Awareness Class. It must be renewed every 3 years. If you serve

alcohol at any functions, please call the office to get signed up for the

training.

PICNIC CHANCES: There is an error on the chances. The

prize money does not add up to $3000. We will be adding a 4th

drawing of $250. As you are selling your tickets, let people

know about the 4th drawing.. Also, inflatables date for Thurs-

day is June 14, not 15th.

MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT: Make plans today for Saturday,

June 23, 8:30 am, where we will spend time together exploring

the spiritual dimensions of marriage and how inviting God once

more into our marriage is often the greatest gift we can give our

spouses, our children, and the world around us. Join Deacon

Rich Zoldak and his wife Cherie at St. Martin of Tours Parish

Hall at 639 S Shelby Street for a day of celebration, exploration,

gratitude and simple attention paid to the most holy of unions-

the love of a husband and wife for each other. The event in-

cludes lunch and runs until 3 pm . The event is free and open to

all married couples throughout the Archdioceses regardless of

the number of years you have been married. Preregistration is

required. For more information or to register, email the Family

Ministries Office at family@archlou.org or call 502-636-0296.
