(Serves 10) Special Notice about Parking The fire marshal reviewed the parking at Queen of Peace. To permit ambulance and fire equipment access to the front of church we will need to create and enforce no parking zones: -between St. Isidore Hall and the rectory; -the hill up to the front door of church; -the inner circle in front of the school; We ask all parishioners to observe the no parking zones. We will have the pavement painted in the near future. Thank You, Members of Building and Grounds Committee. Pope Benedict XVI: Silent adoration In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering. Pope Benedict XVI – from his meeting with members of the Roman clergy March 2, 2006 Page 3 Deacon Mike's Corner I have constantly heard that Catholics practice superstition with all of the "sacramentals" they use such as water, oils, incense, relics etc. How do I answer that? Anointing was a way of investing someone with power in the Old and New Testaments. An example of this was the anointing of King Solomon upon his ascent to his throne (I Kings1:39). This signified divine sanctification and approval. It could also signify the consecration of someone or something for a holy purpose. Anointing was also done for the healing of the sick just as it is done today in the Catholic Church. It reads in Mark 6:13, "And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them". In Matthew 26:12 we read, "In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial". Jesus allowed the woman to pour oil on him and anoint him. If Jesus allowed this, then obviously this is not superstition. If it were superstitious, He would have been obligated to correct her since he is the "Truth". In James 5:14 we read, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church (Priests), and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord". This is especially found in the Sacrament of the "Anointing of the Sick". Additionally, in the Jewish Temple, all Jews had to wash with water their face, ears, hands and feet before entering into prayer inside the temple proper (Our use of holy water). Jesus did! Additionally, in the Temple, there was incense burning constantly as a sign of prayer wafting into the Heavens. We also find incense even being burnt in Heaven before the Father by the Saints (Rev, 5:8) as a sign of our prayers. In the past I have written on the use of relics. Refer to 2 Kings13:20-21, Acts 5:15-16, and Acts 19:11-12. The Catholic Catechism has a wealth of info for further consideration. We would all do well in paying attention to the command of St. Peter in 1 Peter 3:15-16, "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who ask you for the reason of your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence"! Are you? We prepare ourselves by studying the Catholic Catechism, Bible, and taking advantage of the various means to learn more thru the RCIA program which is open to all Catholics and those seeking to come into the faith, Bible study on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings and evenings (see bulletin) until May 14th. Listening to Catholic radio 89.5 FM and 740 AM, especially 2-8 pm you will find a vast array of formats in which the faith or faith in action is explained generally in a Q&A format. Many Protestants listen and are drawing ever closer to the faith thru this great programming. Also go to www.catholic.com for an extensive array of info on questions and answers about our Catholic faith. Are you listening? I would like to know your thoughts....... Email me at: [email protected]. Saint Francis De Sales pray for us. A Big Thank You from Saint Vincent de Paul St. Vincent DePaul would like to thank everyone for their contributions of money, paper goods and personal care items. If you know of anyone who could use help please tell them to contact the Parish Office at 863-4344 Ext. 38 Magnificat My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His Name; And His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him. He has shown might with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy - Even as He spoke to our father - to Abraham and to his posterity forever. Volunteer Needed Volunteer Opportunity Available for someone with a green thumb and an hour a week to tend to the plants in the church. This could be at your convenience with additional time needed during Christmas and Easter. This would also be a “volunteer opportunity” for qualifying tuition rates at the school. Call Myrna Heister @ 887-1094 with any questions in regards to the plants. Page 4 A Note from the Second Grade Hi! What an exciting time for Second Grade!

Page 5 Page 6 A Mother’s Love By Carol Matthews A mother loves right from the start, She holds her baby close to her heart. The bond that grows will never falter, CEMETERY NEWS Her love is so strong it will never alter. A mother gives never ending love, She never feels that she has given enough. For you she will always, do her best, Constantly working, there’s no time to rest. A mother is there when things go wrong, A hug and a kiss to help us along. Always there when we need her near, Around 1850, two organizations purchased land on Greenwood Ave in Hamilton. Today we call them St Stephen and Greenwood Cemeteries. Both cemeteries have property on both sides of Greenwood Ave, with no fences separating them. St Stephen Old Cemetery is on the south side of Greenwood Ave. In it contains some of our oldest burials. It also has a special section for infant burials, and many nuns are buried toward the front of the entrance. St Stephen Old Cemetery is surrounded by Greenwood Cemetery on three sides. But upon entering St Stephen’s Old, you will see a crucifix, and that tells you that you have entered the Catholic cemetery. Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear. A mother’s prayer means so very much, Believing in God and his gentle touch. Keeping you safe both day and night, Your mother’s prayer will time it just right. So on this day shower your mother with love, Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough. Give your mother a day to have some peace of mind, Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind. The crucifix has been in the cemetery for many decades, but recently was vandalized and Jesus leg stolen. In February, we hired a company to make repairs. And on April 1, the beautiful crucifix came back to us. We invite you to come see the past lives of the cemetery blended with the new life of the crucifix. Anyone wishing to make a donation toward the repair of the crucifix can mail a donation to St Stephen, Attn: Crucifix repair. Thank you. Our final expression of faith as Catholics is the blessed and sacred burial in a Catholic cemetery. This is our opportunity to rest among fellow believers, awaiting the resurrection to life everlasting in union with God. St Mary and St Stephen Cemeteries still have plenty of available space to serve future generations. And both cemeteries have many burial options.

Maraschiello Dress Code May 30 S. Wilmer E. Fryer A neat and reverential appearance is in keeping with the minister’s role and belief in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The minister’s attire should not detract from that role. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion should see to it that their hands are clean. They should also refrain from using strong cologne, perfume, or aftershave because some people have sensitivities to these scents and because these fragrances often remain on one’s hands and can be transferred to the Eucharist. Extraordinary Ministers – Pants/slacks, dress/skirt, (Clean, a nice shirt w/collar ), that covers shoulders. Wear shoes, dress shoes are best. Never wear shorts, flip-flops, sweats, or hoodies, t-shirts, or jeans. Bare shoulder or midriff, and low cut tops are not appropriate. Take care also that clothing is well fitted, not too tight and not too loose. High heels are a danger so should not be worn. Simple jewelry is acceptable. Refrain from wearing bangle/bracelets. Sunglasses on the head are not acceptable. Proper attire refers not only to what you wear, but also how appropriate it is for Mass. The Coordinator of the Mass reserves the right to ask another minister to serve in your place if you are not properly attired to serve as a minister. 8:00am Date May 3 May 10 May 17 May 24 May 31 Coordinator A.
