Offertory Collection

 

         May 21, 2006…………………………….. $6,074.50
Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION You have to wonder about the disciples. They certainly were a motley crew. They wandered around Galilee and Judea with Jesus for a few years witnessing his teachings and his mighty works. Then, at the moment of crisis they desert him only to find themselves confronted three days later with the risen Lord. They came to believe that he is alive. And after a while, when he ascends into heaven, all they can do is stand there with their mouths open, gazing at the sky. This feast is all about wonder! We can wonder about the disciples, but it might be better if we stood in wonder with them, in wonder at the amazing things that God has done.

THE PARISH OFFICE will be closed on Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day.  Office hours will resume on Tuesday, May 30th at 8:00 a.m.
