Looking Ahead: Mass on Sunday, June 14th will be changed to 8:30 am in Sykeston as Carrington will be celebrating their Sacred Heart Feast Day with a potluck picnic after a 11:00 am Mass in Carrington on Sunday, June 14.

Stewardship Moment: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…” John 3:16 Is your love conditional? Is there a price others have to pay to receive your love and forgiveness? Are you generous with your time, skills, money and possessions? If you give someone something, do you expect something in return? Do you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient for you? God desires a personal relationship with us so much that He gave us His Son, unconditionally! Pray for a grateful and generous heart.

Feast of Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession: Sunday, June 7th, we will have a Eucharistic Procession of the Blessed Sacrament following Mass. We hope as many as can will participate in the procession around the block.

Ordinations: The Diocese of Fargo will soon celebrate ordinations to the diaconate and priesthood, and it promises to be a joyful occasion! On Fri, June 5th, Bishop Folda will ordain Paul Zach to the transitional diaconate, and he will serve as a deacon in Fargo and St. Paul during his final year in seminary formation. Then, on Sat, June 6th, Bishop Folda will ordain five new priests for our diocese: Garrett Aberle, Brendon Schneibel, Patrick Sorrells, Richard Stenger, and Taylor Ternes. This will be the largest ordinations class in over twenty years! Needless to say, we have many reasons to praise and thank God! Please keep these fine young men and new priests in your prayers!

Fr. Leier On Retreat: I will be away at Maryvale this week from Mon–Fri on my annual spiritual retreat. Then I will be heading to Fargo for the ordinations on Friday night and Saturday morning. Weekday Masses, Adoration, and Confessions will be cancelled while I’m gone. I’ll be praying for you while on retreat, please pray for me as well. Thank you and God bless! –Fr. Leier

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for May: That Everyone Might Have Food: Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food.

Stewardship Moment: “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” 1 Corinthians 12:7 To receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit you must open your heart and invite Him in! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, words and actions every day! Be grateful for all the gifts God has given you! Regardless of our individual circumstances, God has given all of us many blessings. What we do with those gifts is our gift back to God! By generously sharing everything we have and everything we are, we become more “God-centered” and less “self-centered” and our lives truly reflect God’s light, love and mercy.

Memorial Day marks the end of school and the beginning of summer vacations. May you all have a very pleasant and relaxing summer.

In case of inclement weather, it will take place at Cross Roads Golf Course.

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen:
If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. You have a duty to worship God, not because He will be imperfect and unhappy if you do not, but because you will be imperfect and unhappy.
