This weekend in Omaha, letter carriers are collecting groceries to stock the Saint Vincent de Paul Society’s food pantries. If you live in Omaha, you received the bag in the mail this week. Please be generous!
Prayers for your safe travels, Fr. Z. May extra angels be on board.
I and a friend lead a Bible study Thursday evenings at 6 (this is after the 5:15 Mass) at Holy Redeemer Church in Madison, WI. We are studying the Acts of the Apostles using the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible New Testament (ch 7&8 today). Anyone reading this would be welcome to come and there will be some snacks. This evening we will keep it to 1 hour in order to attend another great local event, a talk by a religious sister from Iraq who apparently started the first order of sisters in the Armenian Apostolic Church in 70 years then subsequently entered the Catholic Church and has started a contemplative type CMSWR religious congregation in the Boston Archdiocese. This is at St Christopher Parish in Verona at 7:30 pm today and info is available on the Madison Diocese website.
Have a safe trip, Father.
Safe travels. St Christopher pray for Father Z.
Prayers for safe, uneventful travels!

Men’s Discernment Retreat
Friday May 29-Sunday May 31, 2015 at Assumption Grotto 13770 Gratiot Avenue Detroit, MI
Have you ever considered the priesthood or consecrated life? Do you think that God may be calling you to serve Him with “an undivided heart”? Such decisions are not always so easy to make and proper discernment with good spiritual reflection and guidance is necessary. What’s the best way to prepare yourself to know what is God’s will in your life? Why should you do God’s will? How do you conform your will to His? By making a retreat. All the great spiritual writers have always suggested this.
This discernment retreat is a time to get away from the daily routine and spend time with God in reflection and prayer. It’s a chance to focus and give absolute attention to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord with the assistance and love of The Sweetest Heart of Our Lady—and then make some decisions in order to redirect your life towards the one thing that truly matters—Heaven in union with the Blessed Trinity, Our Most Holy Mother, and all of the Saints forever! For more information please contact vocations@littlemariansons.org or (313) 778-1498. There is limited space and the deadline to register is Wednesday May 27, 2015.
Readers in California will have the opportunity to hear the incredible vocal ensemble Chanticleer during the week of May 10 (dates and locations at http://www.chanticleer.org ). I saw them last night. It was the best musical performance I have ever witnessed. Music from the sixteenth century to date, some sacred and some secular.
On the Feast of the Ascension, this Thursday, 14 May, at 5:30 PM a sung High Mass (Extraordinary Form), with the full choir, will be offered by Fr. Jeff Keyes at St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Newark, CA, near Fremont.

Mark your calendars for a truly “Extraordinary” event…on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the return of the Traditional Latin Mass to Hudson County, New Jersey, a Solemn Mass will be sung on Saturday, May 23rd at 7:00 p.m. for the Vigil of Pentecost, at downtown Jersey City’s historic St. Anthony’s Church. (Located on Monmouth Street between 6th and 7th Streets). Diocesan clergy from throughout New Jersey, as well as priests of both the Institute of Christ the King and the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter will participate as ministers at the altar. The renowned Cantantes in Cordibus choir, under the direction of Maestro Simone Ferraresi, will perform Haydn’s acclaimed Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo. The organizers of this truly special event are the many young parishioners who have recently joined the growing parish in a quickly gentrifyng city. They hope that this will be an opportunity for young faithful Catholics to worship, meet and network.
Celebrant: Rev. Fr. John A. Perricone, PhD (You may read him in The Latin Mass Magazine)
Deacon: Rev. Canon Jean-Marie Moreau, ICKSP
Subdeacon: Rev. Fr. Matthew McNeely, FSSP
