Most Holy and Immaculate Virgin, Help of Christians,

we place ourselves under your motherly protection.

Throughout the Church's history you have helped

Christians in times of trial, temptation and danger.

Time and time again, you have proven to be

the Refuge of sinners, the Hope of the hopeless,

the Consoler of the afflicted,

and the Comforter of the dying.

We promise to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, your

Son, to proclaim His Good News of God's love

for all people, and to work for peace and justice

in our world. With faith in your intercession,

we pray for the Church, for our family and friends,

for the poor and abandoned, and all the dying.

Grant, O Mary, Help of Christians, the graces of which

we stand in need. (Mention your intentions.)

May we serve Jesus with fidelity and love until death.

Help us and our loved ones to attain the boundless joy

of being forever with our Father in heaven. Amen.

Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us!

A priest of this diocese, Venerable Archbishop Fulton

Sheen encouraged people to spiritually adopt an unborn

child, and thereby combat the abortion mentality and

general anti-life sentiment in our world today. It is said that

although the identity of the child you pray for will be

unknown to you during your earthly life, there is every hope

that you will be united with that child forever in Heaven.

Archbishop Sheen wrote the following daily prayer to

spiritually adopt an unborn child: “Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I

love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the

unborn child that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger

of abortion. Amen.”

everyone to participate in this great effort. Simply register

at shop.shopwithscrip.com.

Purchase a gift card at face value for places you already

shop. Then 50% of the rebate is applied to your family’s

account in July. The accumulation of rebates is applied to

the following year’s tuition.

Also, do you have an 8th grader who will be attending STM

next year? The rebate can be applied toward his/her tuition

As Catholics we firmly believe that God has a plan for our

lives! He calls some to marriage, some to the priesthood,

and others to religious life. Some remain as generous sin-

gle people. Fully living our own vocations—and teaching

young people how to discern God’s call—is a serious duty

but also a joyful one.

Today begins National Vocation Awareness Week. Please

pray about how God is calling you to live your vocation

more deeply.

We received a lovely note and donation from a family hon-

oring their deceased mother. That was very special.

Latest News: We wired money to a mother and her family

so she could attend her grandmother’s funeral. We took a

mother and her youngest son to lunch. He was saved from

abortion and is the light of this family. We gave donated gift

cards to a deserving Mom and delivered diapers. We also

have a new family we will help.

Need: Kitchen items, linens, etc., for the woman who moved

here from out of state. She is now looking at apartments!

Want to help more? Please purchase gift cards for Sam’s

Club, Amazon, Target, Aldi, Walmart, CVS or Walgreens.

We use those gift cards to purchase diapers or other

goods. Drop off at Holy Cross office.

Interested in helping the poor in our midst? Contact Joy at
