SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

A celebration of couples of the parish: Saturday, May 5, we offered an evening for couples, where

husbands and wives would have the opportunity to have a break from their regular routine to be nourished

physically, romantically and spiritually. Our team of Pat Nyarady, Steve Brabazon, Alice Blood, Diane Win-

das, and Ed and Barbara McEneney put together a wonderful evening of food, fun, and spirituality, with the

support and help of their spouses and other volunteers, including Marge Murphy. Three of our Marymount

sisters offered childminding services for the 26 couples who attended.

and Diane Windas

The evening opened with hors d’oeuvres and an ice breaker that helped the group to get to know one another.

This was followed by a delicious meal which everyone enjoyed tremendously.

Our presentation for the evening was given by Deacon John Coughlin and his wife Pat, a couple who have

worked in couples ministry for 15 years in the diocese of Buffalo, who helped the group to reflect on “Staying

in Love.” After an informative talk, the couples had the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and

share with one another and with the group.

Centerpieces by Pat Nyarady and the committee The sisters entertaining the children

The formal part of the evening concluded with the distribution of a gift book, 21 Undeniable Secrets of Mar-

riage by Dr. Allen Hunt, and a prayer which the couples prayed together. After a blessing by Deacon Coug-

lin, the couples had the opportunity to dance the night away to their wedding songs.

On behalf of the parish, I wish to thank the team and their volunteers for all of their hard work. The evening

would have only remained a nice idea without their creativity, efforts, and dedication. I also thank all of the

couples for taking a chance. There was a wonderfully positive and relaxed energy during the evening, and a

strong sense that more should be done to help our married couples. We look forward to building on this en-

ergy and plan further activities in the future.

I pray that we may continue to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit as we strive to serve all of the mem-

bers of our community.

-- Fr. Emiel

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intention for May – The Mission of the Laity: “Lay people are on

the front line of the life of the Church. We need their testimony regarding the truth of the

Gospel and their example of expressing their faith by practicing solidarity. Let us give thanks

for the lay people who take risks, who are not afraid and who offer reasons for hope to the

poorest, to the excluded, to the marginalized. Let us pray together this month that the lay

faithful may fulfill their specific mission, the mission that they received in Baptism, putting

their creativity at the service of the challenges of today’s world.”
