In the area…..

The Montachusett Chorale will present its Spring Concert on Sunday, April 29th, 2 pm at Leominster City Hall. The concert will benefit Ginny’s Helping Hands. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. Under 18– Free. Tickets available at Ginny’s and in the Mayor’s Office. The Sisters of the Presentation of the B.V.M. are sponsoring a Spring Day of Prayer for women on Saturday, May 5, 9:30 am—3 pm, at the Presen-tation Convent. Opportunity for reflec-tion and sharing. Lunch included. Free will offerings accepted. Each one is invited to donate a container of baby food. To register, call Sr. Mary Anne Seliga at 978-537-7108.

Eucharistic Adoration Every Friday after the

8 am Mass, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is placed on the

monstrance. It is an opportunity for private and personal prayer before Jesus. You could almost say it is a

‘face to face conversation’.

The morning concludes at 11:15 am with another Devotion: the Divine Mercy Chap-

let, followed by Benediction. The Chaplet is a beautiful prayer

asking for God’s mercy. Benediction in this case is giving you a

blessing with the Body of Christ Himself.

(Sometimes the times will change due to a funeral or another event)

Dear brothers and sisters: Thank you for the great response to the parish insights form last weekend. Before sharing some of your comments, I want to wait for a few more responses, especially from our younger parishioners. Thank you for the honesty! Also last Saturday was the Latino Night. It seems like our attendees had a fabulous time and at the same time provided a good support for the youth programs this summer. Thank you! In your kindness, pray for our Confirmation candidates, that they may allow the Holy Spirit to fill their hearts and empower them to become holy and faithful followers of Jesus. In Christ,

Fr. José
