SIXTH SUNDAY of EASTER
TODAY!!!
CHEYENNE RIVER RESERVATION
MOTHER’S DAY DRIVE
The Corpus Christi Church Community will be supporting the
efforts of hawkwing, Inc. with a special Mother’s Day Drive.
Hawkwing is a non-profit which supports the children and
families on the Cheyenne River Lakota/Sioux Indian
Reservation in South Dakota - the poorest place in America
(US Census 2010).
The Reservation is the size of Connecticut, yet there is only
one health clinic. The women must get to the nearest hospital
in Rapid City, a two-hour trip by car, and this leads to
complications - they are not allowed to have their babies at
the clinic. Many have no prenatal care or transportation and
have chronic health problems. Child mortality, especially
among newborns, approaches 20% before the age of 5.
To help with daily needs, we are collecting the following new
items:
• Full-sized toiletries including toothpaste, floss, shampoo,
bar soap, chapstick, and deodorant
• Baby care products like disposable diapers, wipes, baby
shampoo and diaper cream
• Underwear and socks for all ages - toddler through adults
Cash donations are always welcomed - checks can be made
payable to “hawkwing, Inc.” All donations are taxdeductible. More information is available at hawkwing’s
website: www.hawkwing.org.
Thank you for all you do. It makes a real difference.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
For all our Moms today,
there are Mother’s Day pins
located in baskets
at the exits of the church.
DEEP DEBT
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I
am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the
moral, intellectual, and physical education I received from
her.
- George Washington
A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
The words of Jesus in today’s gospel, “Abide in Me,” are
appropriate on a day we honor mothers because there is a
special bond connecting mothers and their children, extending
beyond birth and death. They will always “abide” in each
other. It’s a lasting presence.
- by Bud Ozar
TWO IMPORTANT THINGS
Two important things to teach a child: to do and to do
without.

THANK YOU for HOMEFRONT DAY
On Saturday May 2nd, about 40 parishioners from Church of
the Incarnation, Sacred Heart, and Corpus Christi came
together to participate in HomeFront Day. HomeFront, Inc.
sponsors this project, where parishes all over the state
participate to repair and fix up the home of a needy family.
This year, we worked on a house in Old Wethersfield to do
much needed exterior painting, minor carpentry and yard
work. It was a huge undertaking but thanks to the many
wonderful hard working volunteers from all 3 parishes, the job
got done!
Many thanks to those who provided the food and drinks for all
the volunteers. Special thanks to Tim Nixon who coordinated
this project and to Pat McGovern who assisted him, and to
everyone who helped in any way. Your time and talents are
very much appreciated for this very worthwhile project. God
bless you all!
“THE SCIENCE of HAPPINESS”
The Spiritual Growth and Education Committee of Sacred
Heart Church in Wethersfield is sponsoring a talk on “The
Science of Happiness” on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 PM at the
parish hall. The talk is being given by Bill Walsh, associate
Director at Holy Family Retreat Center in West Hartford. Bill
will explore the nature of happiness and will discuss research
that identifies both the true paths and the obstacles to
happiness that are present in our culture. Come learn about 6
strategies to increase your happiness!

CATHOLIC LIGHTHOUSE CORNER
Padre Pio (Booklet)
Padre Pio received the stigmata, worked many miracles and
often bi-located. Yet it was for his holiness as a priest and
selfless ministry in the confessional that he will forever be
remembered among the saints.
Please pick up a CD today and listen. You will find that after a
few CDs your spiritual life will grow and your knowledge and
discernment expands. Free-will donation of $3.00 per CD and
$2.50 per booklet.
