1.   This past Saturday, the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist was given to our
     Communion Class at the 9:00, 11:00, & 1:00 P.M. Masses. Their preparation
     and hard work resulted in truly inspiring ceremonies.  Father Babowitch put
     the students at ease and provided all with meaningful liturgies. Father was
     assisted by Father Kirk, Deacon Bell, Deacon Teson, Sara Volpe, Mrs. Gentile
     and our choirs, and our altar servers and ushers. We appreciate the
     preparation provided by our teachers and hope this experience continues
     with frequent Mass atendance each weekend by the students and their
     families. It is not just celebrating the moment, but continuing the
     momentum.
2.  Today at St. Joseph's University, Aidan Haurin was in stalled with 32 other   
     8th graders from across the Archdiocese as Neumann Scholars.  These
     students will have their complete tuition covered by the Connelly
     Foundation at the Archdiocesan High School of their choice. This past Friday
     our 6th graders and their families were given information from the
     Connelly Foundation inviting these students to consider doing their best in
     7th grade so that they may qualify to take the Neumann Scholarship Test at
     the beginning of 8th Grade.  The Connelly Foundation takes every
     opportunity to advance Catholic Education in the Archdiocese.  For this we
     are most grateful!
3.  Tomorrow evening Grades 2, 6, & 8 will be participating in our annual May
     Procession and crowning of Mary after the 7 P.M. Mass in the Upper Church.
4.  Grades 7 & 2 may bring in orders for nuggets/fries ($2.75) tomorrow for
     their lunches on Tuesday.
