This weekend, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension, marking the time when the risen Christ ascended to be with His Father in heaven. But, did you know that while we celebrate the Ascension this weekend, if you had been in a few other parts of the country...Boston, Hartford, New York, Newark, Omaha, and Philadelphia...you would have celebrated the Ascension on Thursday and today you would have heard the readings and prayers for the 7th Sunday of Easter? Yes, it sounds confusing. Why do some parts of the country celebrate this Solemnity on Thursday while so many other parts celebrate it today?

Fr. John Manning, pastor of SVdP Parish 1994-2019, will be celebrating his 50th Anniversary of Ordination at the 9:00 AM Mass this Sunday, May 29, 2022. Please join us for a coffee and donut/cake reception immediately following the Mass.

Sometimes we all find someone or something in life that causes us stress and anxiety. Sometimes there are things that other people do or say that drive us crazy or that leave us shaking our heads, wondering what’s going on. Sometimes there are things that other people do or say that we look at and wonder why. And, if we’re honest, sometimes there are times where others wonder or say those things about us.

Hi there, everyone! It’s Fr. John’s “Boss” Angel again! My dad told me that many people enjoyed when I helped him with his column for Palm Sunday, so he asked me if I would be willing to help him by writing a column once a month. I told him that for a few extra treats a day, I’d be willing. My dad agreed, so here we are with the second installment of Angel’s Angle’s (I came up with the name all by myself, don’t let my dad tell you any different and take any of the credit).

This weekend, allow me to wish all of our mothers and grandmothers a Happy & Blessed Mother’s Day! There are not enough words to describe all that a mother does and no amount of pay would be enough for what she truly deserves. This weekend we offer special prayers for all of our mothers living and deceased.
