THE SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION!e sacraments of Christian initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist - lay the foundations of every Christian life. “!e sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. !e faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity.”

It is a place where parish youth groups from all over the country come together to dive deeper into their Catholic faith and strengthen their relationship with Christ, while having unforgettable experiences.

With prayerful consideration, we encourage you to sponsor a high schooler for either the Steubenville South Conference or Camp Hidden Lake. While any donation is greatly appreciated, we ask that you would consider a donation of $250 for the Steubenville South Conference and $500 for Camp Hidden Lake.

SISTER EUGENIA BONETTI

Sr. Eugenia Bonetti will speak at the 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm Masses on Saturday, May 9 thanking you, our faithful parishioners, for the support you showed her last year during her mission’s garage sale.

Sr. Eugenia is an Italian Consolata Missionary Sister who performed missionary work in Kenya for 24 years. In 1991 she returned to Italy and was later appointed to work with immigrant women. It was at this time, she learned of the plight of thousands of women who were forced into the horrific trade of human tradcking.

As the Coordinator of the Counter-Tradcking Odce for Women and Children, Sr. Eugenia spearheaded a network of over 250 religious women from 80 di6erent congregations who have opened 110 convents and houses to shelter and assist the victims of human tradcking. Her network extends to over 30 countries and works in the prevention, rehabilitation, and protection of victims and their families as well as the repatriation and reintegration of the victims back to their homeland.

If you are interested in supporting Sr. Eugenia’s mission in combating human tradcking, donations will be accepted through the collection basket at all Masses the weekend of May 9 and 10. Please mark the envelope CONSOLATA MISSIONARY SISTERS. Donations will also be accepted through the church odce. For more information about the Mission, contact Ms. Elba Alexander, [email protected].

ADORATION CHAPEL

SAINT OF THE WEEK

St. Rose Venerini (1656-1728)

FEAST DAY: May 7

Rose was born at Viterbo in Italy, the daughter of a doctor. Following the death of her fiancé she entered a convent, but soon returned home to care for her newly widowed mother. Meanwhile, Rose invited the women of the neighborhood to recite the rosary in her home, forming a sort of sodality with them.

As she looked to her future, Rose, under the spiritual guidance of a Jesuit priest, became convinced that she was called to become a teacher in the world rather than a contemplative nun in a convent. Clearly, she made the right choice: She was a born teacher, and the free school for girls she opened in 1685 was well received.

Soon the cardinal invited her to oversee the training of teachers and the administration of schools in his Diocese of Montefiascone. As Rose’s reputation grew, she was called upon to organize schools in many

parts of Italy, including Rome. Her disposition was right for the task as well, for Rose oVen met considerable opposition but was never deterred.

She died in Rome in 1728, where a number of miracles were attributed to her. She was beatified in 1952 and canonized in 2006. Ze sodality, or group of women she had invited to prayer, was ultimately given the rank of a religious congregation. Today, the so-called Venerini Sisters can be found in the United States and elsewhere, working among Italian immigrants.
