SCREENING

Usher's room following all masses. Not knowing your numbers doesn't mean
hypertension is not harming you. Give yourself, your mother, your wife or
your family the gift of having your blood pressure checked next weekend.
ST. CATHERINE MEN'S GROUP Our
next meeting is this Monday, May 2nd, at
8:00 pm in McCrystal Hall. Our meetings are open to all men
of the parish age 21 or older. Come for some great company, for a few
refreshments and snacks, and to help us plan for the annual
cornhole/euchre/sports on the big wall event!

second grade children are asked to dress in their First Communion dresses/suits
for this occasion. If you wish to do
so, please bring a small potted flower for the procession that will later be
planted on the grounds. Following
the mass, there will be an ice cream social in McCrystal Hall sponsored by the
Foresters.
THE STORY OF ST. CATHERINE OF
SIENA Sr.
Nancy Murray, OP, is coming to our parish to bring to life our patron saint,
Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church, on Friday,
May 6th at 7:00 p.m. With simple props and a fertile imagination,
Sister Nancy portrays Catherine as the colorful, strong, passionate and
enthusiastic personality that she was. Thanks to Sister Nancy's gift of
transforming herself into this 14th century saint and patroness of the Dominican
Order, Catherine's fierce devotion to and love for God is brought to life.
Sr. Nancy Murray is actor Bill Murray’s sister. Clearly acting talent
runs in the family. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn more about our
incredible patroness in this entertaining way. The event is free and open
to the public. No reservations will be taken and a free-will offering will
be taken up.
PTO ANNUAL
FLOWERING BASKET SALE will be held next weekend, May 7th & 8th, after all masses. This
is a perfect opportunity to brighten your home or pick up a gift for Mom on
Mother’s Day! All proceeds from the sale will benefit St. Catherine’s
Church. Volunteers are still needed after the 11:30 mass. It requires only
about 30 minutes of your time! Please contact Kelly Frost at 835-4396 or kfrostky@fuse.net
to volunteer or for more information.
DISCERNMENT
for members of the
Parish Pastoral Council and the Board of Catholic Education begins this weekend.
As representative of the entire parish population, the Pastoral Council (PPC)
acts as a consultative and advisory body to the pastor in making decisions for
the benefit of the parish community. The Board of Catholic Education (BOCE)
assists the pastor in promoting spiritual formation and Catholic education
programs for all age groups. Members of each board are discerned through prayer
and sacrifice and serve for a three year term. Please read the parish
guidebook and directory for more details. At this time we are asking
parishioners to prayerfully consider their own response to serve one of these
committees. Boxes with paper are at the side entrances to the church.
Please volunteer yourself or suggest another parishioner who would be
representative of our parish community. Most importantly, pray for
guidance from the Holy Spirit in our discernment process.

other.

IMPLEMENTATION
The
Breaking of the Bread
“Because
there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of
the
one bread” (1 Corinthians 10:17). There was something unforgettable in the way
Jesus
broke the bread at the Last Supper and again for the disciples encountered on
the
road
to Emmaus. “He was known to them in the breaking of the bread” (Luke 14:35).
The
Bread of Life is broken to be given to the many, bringing into the unity of a
single
body
all who receive it.
The
priest breaks a piece from the host and puts it into the chalice to signify that
in
Holy Communion we receive Christ’s living and glorious Body. He begins the
breaking
of the Bread after the sign of peace and carries it out with reverence. “This
rite
is
reserved to the priest and the deacon” (GIRM, art. 83). Even after the
breaking, each
fragment
of the Eucharistic Bread is the whole Christ.
During
the breaking of the Bread, the choir or cantor sing the supplication to the
Lamb
of God, the Agnus Dei, to which the people respond. The invocation may be
repeated
until the rite is completed. At the last repetition the people respond, “grant
us
peace.”
