I am writing this before I leave for Italy. This weekend is the middle of our trip. We return early Friday morning of this week.

Our Seminarian Intern David will be leaving on May 27 after Masses. I know our parishes feel strongly about supporting seminarians. Next weekend (5/26 & 27) we will take a Second Collection to support David. All the funds collected will be given directly to him for his use.

This Summer David will be serving his Clinical Pastoral Education Unit (CPE) at a hospital in the Minneapolis Area. This is part of his schooling (which means no pay!) Our support will be used by David with gratitude I am sure!

Our Altar Server's Trip will undergo a change this year. The past few years we have not had as many able to attend the June trips due to Summer School, sports and other activities. We are going to try the trip on Thursday, July 26 in hopes that more people can join us. We will be attending a Woodchuck's game that evening. A letter will go out some time in June with more information.

In Christ's Peace,
