Dear Parishioners,            
 
Where has the month of May gone!  We are now in the final weeks of a busy month.  This weekend, we welcome Deacon Paul Bork who is the Northeast Regional Director for Mission Education of the Maryknoll Missionaries.  I am sure you are familiar with the great missionary work that Maryknoll does around the world.  The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers minister in 22 countries in Asia, Central and South America, and Africa.  Maryknoll's mission is to share God's Word throughout the world, especially to the least of our brothers and sisters.  You are invited to receive the Maryknoll Magazine, which is sent bi-monthly, outlining the compassionate work of the order.  Your donation to the ministry of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers is very much appreciated.  This is our annual Propagation of the Faith Appeal.
 
This Thursday is Ascension Thursday, a Holy Day of Obligation.  Our Mass here at St. Margaret's will be on WEDNESDAY evening at 5:30 p.m. St. Anthony’s has a 5:30 p.m. Wednesday Vigil Mass also. St. Mary's Masses are at 9:00 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. on Thursday.
 
Many thanks. God Bless You,  Fr. Paul J. Alciati
