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. - Marcelene Cox, American Writer ***** WEDDING BANNS III Anthony Lazzaro and Jill D’Angelo ***** 2013 DISASTER RELIEF COLLECTION YOUR VOICE COUNTS!

Thank you. 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!
