2ND SUNDAY OF EASTER 2DO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
Prayer For Vocations
Lord Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father and Mary
Immaculate, give to our young people the generosi-
ty necessary to follow Your call and the courage
required to overcome all obstacles to their vocation.
Give to parents that faith, love and spirit of sacrifice
which will inspire them to offer their children to
God's service and to rejoice whenever one of their
children is called to the priesthood or religious life.
May Your example and that of Your Blessed Moth-
er
and Saint Joseph encourage both young people
and parents and let Your grace sustain them.
Amen.

As we all know, our Governor officially announced that
public school buildings would remain closed and face-to-
face learning would not return for this school year.
Therefore, our Faith Formation program will also have
no face-to-face classes during April and May.
In the next week or so, a “TAKE-OUT” FORMATION BOX will be prepared for each Faith Formation Family to use as
a Domestic Church. Each family “Take-Out” Box will be specifically designed for your family and the age of your
child/ren.
If your child has been preparing for a Sacrament this year, please do not worry.
The 1st Reconciliation and 1st Communion Retreat materials will be ready for you to do together in your home. As
soon as possible, we will schedule a day and time for your little one to receive their sacrament.
Those preparing for Confirmation will also be contacted and send what needs to be completed to stay on track for
their preparation.
While these are certainly anxious times, we must call on God and remember who is truly in control. To help us with
our prayer life while we are not as connected with our church and faith community, items will be available on our
website, Facebook page and email.
This new "normal" has been an adjustment and a trying time for all of us. We are truly blessed to have such wonder-
ful families in our Parish Community. Please let us know if you need anything.

During this unprecedented time of uncertainly as we grapple with the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we need to support our priests and our Parishes so they can
continue to be the Centers of Hope and provide pastoral and sacramental care for
our people for many generations to come.
That’s why the Diocese of Kalamazoo has established the special “Forward in
Faith” Parish Support Fund, so you have an easily accessible way to lend your
financial assistance.
The Forward in Faith: Parish Support Fund is a special fund established by the Diocese of Kalamazoo to generate
immediate funding to provide financial relief for parishes during the Coronavirus pandemic crisis.
The Parish Support Fund is designed for those parishioners who are not currently using an online giving method to
direct monies to their Parish. If you are currently enrolled in online giving with your Parish, or are mailing your weekly
contribution envelope, you should continue to use that option.
