ELIZABETH ANN SETON Welcome into the Catholic Church I am the good shepherd Amy Reed, who was raised in the Methodist Tradition, learned about the faith of Catholics following the baptism of her daughter last April at the Easter Vigil. Amy herself later expressed a desire to know more about our faith and joined our local RCIA group. She is now ready to be formally received into the Catholic Church. This Sunday we will welcome her into our family of faith at the 11:00 mass. We rejoice with her and will do our best to support her as she lives her Christian faith through the Catholic Tradition.

She is that perfect disciple who welcomed the Word (Luke 1:38) and reflected upon it in her heart (Luke 2:51). We rightly give her the title “Mother of the Church” for she was the first vessel of God’s Presence anticipating the church as the bearer of the Lord in the world. rd On Sunday, May 3 , we will honor Mary with the traditional May crowning. This will take place after communion at the 11am mass.
