FROM THE PASTOR Dear Parishioners, Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers and godmothers. You sacrifice so much for your children. But remember the saying, “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” Mothers are the stabilizing force in our lives and the great source of love and com-fort. This weekend we also honor our blessed mother Mary as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. There are only 3 churches in the diocese of Lafayette that have a statue of Our Lady of Fatima in them and ours is one of them. Let us heed her call to sacrifice and prayer for the salvation of souls and for peace in the world.
Congratulations to all of our Sacred Heart School graduates. Mass is today at noon and then the graduation is in the gym at 1:30.
Last week I forgot to mention another vocation coming out of our parish that is Francesca Dupre, daughter of Scott and Tina Du-pre. Francesca has just entered the Community of Jesus Christ Cruci-fied in St. Martinsville. Please keep her in prayer as she will pray for us.
