Farewell Mass for Fr. Marshall - Please join us THIS WEEKEND at the 9:45 a.m. Mass to say "Happy Retirement" to Fr. Marshall! There will be extra special refreshments after Mass in the Parish Hall.

Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession - Thanks to all who braved the weather last weekend to join us for our Corpus Christi procession! Check out the photo below as part of "Being Catholic - Did you know?" of our procession.

Prayers for the Sick - Both in the Sunday Bulletin, and here in the Weekly Newsletter, we list the names of those who are in sick and in need of our prayers. These people are remembered each week as part of the Universal Prayer/Petitions. If you would like to add you someone's name to the sick list, please email or call the Parish Office. Please also email/call us when it's OK to remove them from the sick list as this helps to ensure our list is up to date.

Online Book of Intentions - Also, if you have a special intention that you would like us to pray for, see below for the link that you can click and then enter your intention. These intentions are also prayed for each week in the Universal Prayer/Petitions. They are private, no one can see them except us, and can be anonymous if you wish.

Lay Liturgical Ministry Schedule - The new lay Liturgical Ministry schedule is now out. If you haven’t already done so, please check your email for your assigned dates and times. Also, please be on the lookout each week for the “Sub Request” and “Open Positions” email. We need YOUR help to make our Liturgies vibrant and welcoming!

Daily Mass & Devotions - The parish celebrates Mass daily at 8 a.m., with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament preceding Mass at 7:30 a.m. in the Chapel at St. Hedwig. And there is Holy Hour/Eucharistic Adoration twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7 - 9 p.m. in St. Hedwig. For the full list of Mass times and Devotions, please see the schedule below.

Being Catholic - Did you know? - Many of us grew up attending Catholic School, or CCD classes, etc ..., and knew "about" things, but we didn't really remember what they're called or knew the meaning behind a word/phrase. In this weekly newsletter, we will feature a "Did you know?!" It will sometimes be a word, or a place, or an object related to our Catholic Faith. So, did you know ... ?

UPDATED BCAP Food Pantry needs - Our Parish Food Pantry is doing what it is intended for, and that is distributing food and other necessities to those in need. HOWEVER, see below for our most current needs as they have changed from food into other necessities.

Parish Forms on the Website - https://www.carloacutisparish.org/parish-forms.html Did you know that many of our forms and requests are on our website? Inquiring about a Baptism ... Need a copy of your Baptismal Certificate ... Want to schedule your wedding? It's all on our website! Simply fill out the form and we'll get back to ya.

We hope to see you at one of the Masses this weekend, wear a mask or not, and don't forget to bring a friend or two!!

God Bless, see you in Church!

“By standing before the Eucharistic Christ, we become holy.”

Pope Francis is cautioning people not to get accustomed to the war in Ukraine, and is calling for the faithful to keep those suffering "this tragic reality" in our hearts and prayers. "The thought of the people of Ukraine, afflicted by war, should remain vivid in our hearts." Please continue to pray for them.
