Living the Gospel by supporting those with disabilities

Ben, a 66-year-old with a developmental disability, lives

with his 90-year-old mother. Without any other family,

she didn't have a plan to take care of him after she no

longer was able to do so. She turned to Mary Centre, a

ShareLife agency, which matched Ben with a respite

worker. This worker gradually introduced Ben to residents

of one of Mary Centre's group homes. Now that he has

befriended its residents and staff, Ben will find the

eventual transition less overwhelming. He has already

developed a sense of belonging to his future community.

May 5 is Second ShareLife Sunday.

Please give generously.

Reception of the holy oils During Holy Week, the three holy oils used in the

sacraments and other rituals of the Church are

blessed by the Bishop in the Cathedral at the

“Chrism Mass.” A portion of each of these oils is

given to every parish.

The Church provides a ritual for the parish

reception of the oils. This takes place at parish

Masses on Holy Thursday evening. The oils are

brought forward along with the bread and wine

during the procession of the gifts, and they are

presented one by one.

Presenter: “The oil of the sick.”

Priest: “May the sick who are anointed with this oil experience the compassion of

Christ and his saving love in body, mind, and soul.”

Presenter: “The oil of catechumens.”

Priest: “Through anointing with this oil may our catechumens who are preparing to

receive the saving waters of baptism be strengthened by Christ to resist the power

of Satan and reject evil in all its forms.”

Presenter: “The holy chrism.”

Priest: “Through anointing with this perfumed chrism may children and adults, who

are baptized and confirmed, and priests, who are ordained, experience the gracious

gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Flowers for the Sanctuary, there are Easter Flower envelopes at the
