Sanctuary Lamp Intentions this week are in Memory of: STM Dorothy Dispenza
OLQP Saverio, Adele, & Joseph Salemme
Each winter, I wonder (oftentimes out loud to
anyone who will listen!) when the cold weather will end
and give way to sunshine and mild temperatures. Spring is
my favorite time of year for the obvious reason of pleasant
weather and the ability to spend more time outdoors, but
also because of the celebration of first Holy Communion
and Confirmation. To see the hard work of catechists,
students, and families come to fruition in the celebration of
these sacraments is extremely gratifying and uplifting. As
we know, God’s grace is everywhere, but is especially
present in a very “loud” way when we participate in
sacramental life. It is through regular participation in
sacramental life and the sacred liturgy that we are drawn
ever closer to an intimate, personal relationship with our
Creator, and that we come to have the strength to make sure
that our personal faith, as well as the faith of our “domestic
churches”, is built on rock and not sand.
Please join me in congratulating and praying for all
students who received Christ in the Holy Eucharist for the
first time on May 6. (Listed on page 3 of bulletin.) May
they be fed in Holy Eucharist so that they may go feed, and
may they continue to learn and grow as disciples of Jesus
Christ in the months and years ahead, shine God’s light for
all to see.
I would like to thank the First Eucharist catechists
who have helped to plant and nurture the seeds of faith
within our youth this sacramental preparation programming
year – Amy Ingrassia, Carole Frantz, Carolyn Vacanti and
Alexandra Brindak. Their time, dedication and willingness
to share God love is so appreciated and so very vital to the
growth of not only our faith community, but of our global
Church.
After two years of preparation, 51 young people
from our faith community will celebrate the Sacrament of
Confirmation at Sacred Heart Cathedral on May 22. They
and their families should be commended for the time,
dedication and faithfulness they demonstrated as they
navigated through so many months of preparation. Please
pray for them as they prepare for this special day, that they
are open and ready to acknowledge the movement of the
Holy Spirit in their lives, now and always.
Peace, Jodi Miller

Supermarket WeekendSupermarket WeekendSupermarket WeekendSupermarket Weekend
For many years the parishioners at Our Lady Queen of Peace have participated in the ministry of “Supermarket
Weekend.” It has come to our attention that parishioners at St. Thomas More would also like to
participate in this ministry. So, the collection is taken up the last FULL weekend of every month and the
community of St. Thomas More is welcome to donate non%perishable food items. There will be a container placed at the church entrance for the items to go in.
The food items go to Andrews Center on
Whittington Rd., which is a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy. This ministry helps children with multiple needs from 0%12 years old who receive 24%hour nurturing for physical, emotional and psychological afflictions while
providing restorative relief to their families.
The next Supermarket Weekend is May 25/26May 25/26May 25/26May 25/26.
To All Liturgical Ministers at OLQP & STM Communion Ministers (including Nursing Homes), Greeters,

Second Collection - Next Weekend
Diocesan Missions Sunday The Church is called to proclaim Jesus Christ, who was crucified, died and is risen: through him God
bestows “new life” that is divine and eternal. This is the “Good News” which changes people and history,
and which all people have a right to hear. We cannot be content when we consider the millions of our brothers and sisters who don’t know Christ and
the love of God yet. For over 50 years, the sisters of St. Joseph have labored in Brazil and the Sisters of Mercy in Chile.
Next weekend, May 19-20, we call upon you to help with your prayers and sacrificial gift, so that they may continue to bring Christ into a world where darkness,
despair and emptiness prevail.
St. Thomas More has yet to reach our Catholic Ministries Appeal Goal. We still have $9,382.42 to go. Note: If assigned goals are not met, we will still have to pay the diocese
the full amount out of our regular
collection. The campaign ends on May 31st. Any money
collected after that date will go towards next
year’s collection. Every contribution helps.

How strong is your faith? When you have an opportunity to either
defend or clarify a question about our Catholic faith, do you do it? Or, do you
remain silent so that others don’t think you are weird? Pray for the courage to be
strong in all circumstances and to share your witness with others.
