This week’s PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL ᵻ To the Prayers of the Faithful, please respond: Lord, hear our prayer. That bishops be filled with zeal and have the heart of Christ, the Good Shepherd…we pray to the

Lord. That those face persecution for living as disciples of Jesus find their suffering to be a grace before

God…we pray to the Lord. That people of all nations will repent, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit…we pray

to the Lord. That government leaders and civil servants use their voices to proclaim the Gospel of life…we pray

to the Lord. That the sick and dying may find strength and courage in the cross of Christ and discover the re-

demptive value of their suffering…we pray to the Lord. That our parish be blessed with holy vocations to the priesthood and religious life…we pray to the

Lord. That in this month of May, we seek the special intercession of Mary, Mother of God who leads us

to faithfully obey her Son, Jesus Christ…we pray to the Lord. That St. Michael parish will become a community of missionary disciples who come to know the

Lord’s voice through daily prayer…we pray to the Lord.

Eucharistic Adoration Hours

We are looking to have an adorer present before the Blessed Sacrament, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Would you consider taking an hour? The benefits are out of this world. The white hours are open.

Contact Patty Marmie with questions at 402-416-4224 or [email protected]. The adoration chapel is still open, though the Blessed Sacrament is reposed. You are welcome and encouraged to come and pray anytime.

2020 CSA APPEAL

The Charity and Stewardship Appeal supports many good causes in our diocese, like the hospital ministry, prison ministry, youth ministry, Catholic Social Services, religious sisters, retreat center, Camp Kateri, and schools. Almost all of the funds raised come right back to our parish, as we receive 80% of our goal and 100% above our goal.

Would you prayerfully consider pledging by May 15? This could be a one-time gift or a gift broken into semi-annual, quarterly, or monthly payments. If you would like to give, please either mail or drop off the pledge card. You may also give online at https://www.lincolndiocese.org/diocese/charity-and-stewardship-appeal or text-to-give on your smartphone by texting 531-233-1022.

Listen here to Father Borowiak’s two-minute video message:

May Crowning and

Marian Consecration

This Friday, May 1, we will celebrate May Crowning at 5:00 P.M. at the grotto of Mary at the curbside, just in front of the church. All are welcome to bring flowers that day. Two large vases will be available. You may drive up and place your flower(s) in the vas-es. May Crowning will be live streamed at 5:00 P.M. Immediately following, Father Borowiak, Fr. Schwenka, Father Kipper, and Deacon Sasse will consecrate Saint Michael parish to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. Archbishop José Gomez, Archbishop of a Los Angeles and President of the United States Catho-lic Conference of Catholic Bishops will consecrate the United States to Mary that same day.

“I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”

(John 10:10)
