Stewardship Moment: “I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.” - John 10:14-16 When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Jesus what He wants from you?

How do you listen for His response? Many times Jesus responds in “quiet whispers” that are not so obvious. So, take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His voice. 

Crowning of Mary/First Communicant Potluck: Due to scheduling conflicts for the Beckley family, we will be celebrating Wyatt’s First Eucharist on Sunday April 28th. After Mass, Wyatt and family will do a processional for the Crowning of Mary. Then we will go to the parish center for a potluck meal wishing him well as he will receive his First Eucharist and Confirmation on May 17th. Group 2 will be serving ham, buns, and beverages. A cake will be provided by the Beckley family for dessert. We ask attendees to bring their favorite dish to share. Come celebrate Wyatt and our Mother Mary! 

Sacred Heart Spring Dinner will be held Sunday, April 21st from 4:30-6:30 pm at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall. Serving turkey and all the trimmings. Adults-$12; Kids 6-12-$5; Preschool-free. Carry out and local delivery is available by calling 652-2072 after 2:00 pm on Sunday.
 

On Wednesday, May 1st at 3pm, there will be church grounds clean-up. Group 4 is in charge of flowerbeds and hedge on north side of church this year so hopefully as many as possible from that group can make it. We would appreciate any St Elizabeth members to help in this spring project. Lots of raking, sidewalk sweeping, and shoveling of dirt/rocks from street is needed. Thank you to all in advance, Shelly Kurtz, Altar Society president.

Next weekend we will have a 2nd collection for the Catholic Home Missions Appeal.

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “Here is a psychological suggestion for acquiring peace of soul. Never brag; never talk about yourself; never rush to first seats at table or in a theater; never lord it over others as if you were better than they.”

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for April: For the Role of Women: We pray that the dignity and immense value of women be recognized in every culture, and for the end of discrimination that they experience in different parts of the world.
