TO THE FAITHFUL OF OUR PASTORATE,
Mark your calendars for the Stella Maris fiery tongues bonfire and cookout! As the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples in tongues of flame, we will celebrate the Vigil of Pentecost on May 18 at 5pm at Christ the King (5306 Main Street, McFarland) followed by a bonfire and cookout. It's bound to be a delightful gathering for our pastorate.
Please bring lawn chairs and your own food and drinks. S'mores ingredients will be provided. The cookout invites food fired in any sense – fiery chili, fire-roasted kebabs, open-grilled steak, hot dogs, brats, corn on the cob – cooked before or during the bonfire through whatever method you bring. Please contact Ben Conrad with questions.
See you there,
Fr. Chad M. Droessler

33 Days to Morning Glory Consecration to Mary Begins May 7
We will begin preparing for our consecration to Mary starting this Tuesday, May 7, following the book "33 Days to Morning Glory" by Fr. Michael Gaitley. A small supply of books are still available at each of our churches. The consecration will take place following the 10:30am Holy Mass on June 9 at IHM. Consecration is a total gift of ourselves to the Blessed Mother - an offering of all of our prayers, intentions, works, sacrifices, and gifts, for her to use as needed to help form us into saints. Mary is united to the will of God more closely than any other human being throughout all of time. If we want to know and follow the will of God in our own lives, there’s no better person to entrust the care of our souls than to Mary herself.
