Prayer for Priesthood Vocations
Almighty and eternal God, in your unfailing love you have provided ministers for your Church. Grant us in our day worthy and fitting priests to serve and sanctify your people. Inspire a generous and courageous response in the hearts of your people, and increase the ranks of the Order of Priests. Confirm and sustain those who are already ordained to carry on the work of Christ, the Good Shepherd, preaching the Gospel and bringing your holy people into one in Christ. We make this prayer in the name of Christ the Lord. Amen.
Blessings of the Boats A special Thanks to John Miller and for all those who donated items for the Blessing of the Boats event. Thanks to all who attended, your presence and support helps make this a special annual community event .
Millions of Catholics get civilly divorced every year. Divorce has affected everyone, whether it's you, a family member, friend, neighbor or coworker. It happens, and it hurts. But no matter how long it's been, the Church is here to help.
The 12-session support group called "Surviving Divorce" will be starting again on Monday, June 6th at 6:30 p.m. in St. Mary's Hall, 15 Clark St., Auburn.
Surviving Divorce was created to bring hope and healing to those who have experienced the pain and loneliness of a broken marriage. It is for the newly separated and divorced and those still struggling with issues many years later. It will help them answer their questions, restore hope, and begin authentic healing.
You probably know someone who could use this good news, so please pick up a brochure and take it with you for someone who needs direction, help, and most of all God's healing love.
For more information email at Sister Anne at survivingdivorceauburn@gmail.com.

Summertime is a time to reflect on the wonders of God’s creation. For us who experience such long winters, the days of summer are a blessing to enjoy, and hopefully a time for some leisure as well.

Our heavenly Father sent His gift of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, giving them the courage and strength to go forth to proclaim the Good News of Jesus. As good stewards, do we call upon the Holy Spirit to inspire our lives?
Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Christ Jesus, before ascending into heaven, you promised to send the Holy Spirit to your apostles and disciples. 0 Grant that the same Spirit may perfect in our lives the work of your grace and love. Grant us the Spirit of Fear of the Lord that we may be filled with a loving reverence toward you. The Spirit of Piety that we may find peace and fulfillment in the service of God while serving others; the Spirit of Fortitude that we may bear our cross with You with courage, and overcome the obstacles that interfere with our salvation; the Spirit of Knowledge that we may know You and know ourselves and grow in holiness; the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten our minds with the light of Your truth; the Spirit of Counsel that we may choose the surest way of doing Your will,
