MAY CROWNING

Our parish will crown the statue of our Blessed

Mother at St. Columbanus Church Monday, May

15th at 7:00 p.m. The crowning of the Blessed

Mother has been a beautiful tradition to which the

Church—and our parish in particular—has a special

devotion. All parishioners are invited to participate

in the Rosary procession. We encourage our First

Holy Communicants to attend in their “First

Communion” finery. All children are asked to bring

a flower for Our Lady as a symbol of their devotion.

Please join us in prayer to our Blessed Mother for

her intercession and healing in these difficult times.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2017

MAY 14, 2017 ST. COLUMBANUS CHURCH_ _#481/PAGE 4

We congratulate the boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 13.

We thank their parents, and all those in our Parish School and Religious Ed. who worked so hard to prepare

the children for this day.

As I get older, I forget more and more events in my past, but one thing that remains vivid in my recol-

lection is my First Holy Communion. I hope our children will always treasure the great gift (magnum donum)

of receiving the true Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. May we all show our faith in the true presence

by how we dress and act at Mass and how we live our lives as Catholics.

As I mentioned last week, May 13, 2017 is also the one hundredth anniversary of our Lady’s appear-

ance to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal. Our Lady’s message was that everyone, if they want

peace, must pray—especially the Rosary—and do penance. The children were also shown many countless

souls going to hell for their sins, especially sins against purity. Francisco and Jacinta Marta on this weekend

will be the youngest canonized saints who were not martyred. In their young lives they did many penances

and prayed the Rosary constantly.

What excuses do we make to indulge ourselves in sinful activities and neglect Mass and praying? Let

us, young and old alike, follow the example of the children of Fatima.

We remember, too, that if it weren’t for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus would not have become man.

This month of May is dedicated to Mary our Mother, and so we will have our May crowning and Rosary pro-

cession this Monday at 7:00 p.m. To honor both the Eucharistic Lord and His Blessed Mother, we will con-

clude our devotion with Benediction. Many saints have expressed the notion that devotion to Mary is a sign of

our salvation. May we all pray and meditate daily on the mysteries of the Rosary in our own family life. That

and going to Mass regularly are two great gifts we can give our children that will last a lifetime.

In Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Frank Samoylo

100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OUR

LADY’S APPARITION AT FATIMA

Our Lady appeared to the children of Fatima asking

them to pray the Rosary and make sacrifices to God

in reparation for sins committed against Him. To

honor Mary’s request the Legion of Mary is asking

parish families to sign up and take Our Lady of

Fatima statue into their homes for a week and invite

their relatives, friends and neighbors to say the Ro-

sary. Sign up sheets are on the tables in the front and

back of the Church. Please sign up and we will call

you. Don’t miss this opportunity to please our Lord!
