To the people of Mary our Queen,

I wish to inform you that Deacon Jim Stone is retiring

from active ministry as a permanent deacon at the end of

May. He will be relocating to St Brendan’s in Cumming

which is closer to their home.

We sincerely thank Deacon Stone and his wife Beverly for their good

service to Mary Our Queen over the years. I know they will be greatly

missed. We wish them both Gods blessings in the future.

Please join us in honoring Deacon Stone and Beverly on May 21st after

the 11am Mass.

Yours in Christ,

Father Griffith

Prayer for Mother’s Day

Mary, Mother of Jesus, we ask you on this Mother’s Day to pray

for our own dear mothers.

May your son, Jesus, reward them for all the care they have so lov-

ingly given us over the years.

May He give them peace of heart for all the time they have

soothed us in times of trouble or failure.

May Jesus give them joy of spirit for all times they have healed our

wounds and wiped away our tears.

We ask you, Mary, on this day when we honor and praise our

mothers for their unconditional love and care, that Jesus might be-

stow upon them His choicest blessings and His deepest love.

WHY GIVE ONLINE?

Stewardship has always been a part of the Church, but how we bring our gifts to the Lord has really changed over the centu-ries.

If you have never used online giving to support the par-ish, we ask that you consider doing so. By using elec-tronic, online giving for your donations, your support consistently and conveniently helps stabilize our income and enable us to better plan for our current and future needs. You can go online or contact the parish office for details.

The program this year will be June 12 – July 6, Mondays through Thursdays from 9:30 AM – 12:15 PM. Due to the in-creased need and participation, there is an urgent need for volunteers.

BIBLE STUDY

HOME BIBLE STUDY: For any-one in the parish who would like to grow in their knowledge of

their Faith but sometimes are too busy to attend classes. After seventeen years of teaching adult Bible Courses, I have decid-ed to start a HOME BIBLE STUDY to deep-en your knowledge of Scripture. There is no cost. The way it will work is that I will e-mail a reading to you every two weeks, to take you through the Bible. The first five readings will deal with the influence of the Jewish Faith upon Christianity. These five e-mail readings will set the foundation for the study of The Gospel According to Luke, the most complete writing in the Bible on the life of Jesus. Every two weeks, an e-mail will explain one chapter. After Luke will be the Study of The Gospel According to John, The Acts of the Apostles, and then to the first two books of the Bible, Genesis & Exodus. By the time we finish, you will have a very clear understanding of the most important book every written, and the very foundation of our Faith. Obviously, you can stop at any time with an e-mail. I started this with my adult children, and I felt the Lord wanted me to open it to all who are interesting in learning more about Him. To sign up, just e-mail me at RLDG@comcast.net. I will be starting this Home Bible Study soon!
