“EMMANUEL – BE HIS HOPE TO OTHERS – GOD WITH US”Spring is the time of new beginnings and the time selected each year for participation in the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Over the years, we have seen our gifts to the Appeal at work first hand when we witness the education of our youth, the marriage preparation for couples, and the newly ordained priests and deacons who serve in our parishes as well as many other vital programs. Now more than ever, your gifts are needed to support all of these ministries and programs. Our parish has been asked to raise $35,688.70 in support of the Appeal. Please consider a gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, and know that every gift, no matter the size, is important. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great Love.” – Mother Teresa

We collect these items as a sign of our support for needy families in our area. Each parish family is asked to donate one item for the month. THE SECULAR FRANCISCAN ORDER: Formerly known as The Third Order is a lay community for men and women who are called to pray, study and work together as they are witness to Christ and the Gospel in their daily lives in the world. In the spirit and charisma of St. Francis of Assisi, we strive to live simply, peacefully and joyfully as we put our trust in God’s Providence. Are you being called? Come and see! Next meeting, Sunday May 22, 2:00-4:30 p.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Church, at 386 Buttles Ave., Columbus 43215. Questions, call parishioner Teena Gallagher, OFS at 614-879-8562. WEST DEANERY ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI: Will be held at St. Mary Magdalene Church on Sunday, May 29. This celebration promotes and fosters devotion to Our Lord’s Real Presence in the Eucharist. The celebration includes prayers for vocations, for the healing of the sick and for the poor. As in years past, this Deanery celebration will begin with Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament following the 11:00 a.m. Mass. The opportunity for private prayer will continue until 2:00 p.m. During the time of Adoration, there will be an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, individual prayer with the sick, and the Sacrament of Anointing. The 2:00 p.m. service will include readings, music, brief reflections and Solemn Benediction. A wine & cheese reception will follow in the parish hall. If you have questions please call 614-274-1121.

LIFE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON: The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching . In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

LIFE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON: The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching . In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.
