I’m sorry to hear that. How many of you have ever been invited to make a spiritual retreat? …Even fewer, I’ll bet. Yet one of the great gifts our Catholic faith has is to take time off from the ordinary busy-ness of life to pray. Jesus in the gospels gives us good examples of retreating from “the world” to pray. St. Mark writes: “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” (1:35) Sometimes Jesus would spend an entire night in retreat: “In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12) Jesus also invited his dearest friends to join him in retreating: “The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, ‘Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.’ People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.” (Mark 6:30-32) All clerics are required by canon The Sixth Sunday of Easter law to make an annual retreat, usually of five days duration. Some priests attend a “preached” retreat. A spiritual director, usually a wise and older priest, sometimes a seminary professor or retired bishop, offers three or four 45 minute reflections daily for the retreatants. The priests then reflect on the content of these reflections during the days of the retreat. While this is good, I have found more richness in a silent, directed retreat. In this model, usually based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), all retreatants (and spiritual directors and staff) keep total silence on the grounds of the retreat house. No talking in the hallways, no chit-chat on the grounds or at meals, no TV or radio or internet. This profound silence helps the retreatant to focus mind and heart on prayer and contemplation. Each retreatant also meets with a spiritual director once a day. In these personal conversations, the director listens to how God is speaking (or not speaking!) to the retreatant. The director will offer one or two short biblical passages for the retreatant to intensely reflect on. As I was taught this model, retreatants pray at least four one-hour periods of personal prayer, in addition to attending daily Mass and time for adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Summerfest Takes A Holiday in 2014 The Mary, Mother of Hope Parish committee which guides Easterfest and Summerfest met recently. The topic discussed was, should MMOH parish plan another Summerfest? The problem is that the city of New Castle and the Hoyt Center are combining the annual Fireworks Festival with the Arts Fest. This unified Arts and Fireworks Festival is changing location, to the Cascade Riverplex, at the corner of East Washington and East Streets. This new location is many blocks from North Beaver Street and the MMOH pastoral center. After extensive discussion, the committee felt that few people would walk those many blocks to come to Summerfest. Therefore the committee decided (and Father Almade approved) that Summerfest will be "on holiday" for one year. Over the winter the committee will look at bringing back Summerfest for 2015. In the meantime the committee will work on planning alternative fundraising events in 2014 for MMOH parish. All Parish Offices will be closed on Monday, May 26th, for the Memorial Day National Holiday. The rest of the day might include walking in a park, spiritual reading, and relaxation. Retreats are not just for priests. Lay folk, religious sisters and brothers, deacons, clergy and parishioners from other Christian denominations, attend retreats in Catholic retreat houses all over the globe. All benefit from “time away,” to be surprised by the Holy Spirit in their own spiritual journey. We have several fine retreat houses in our diocese used by laity and priests. This week I’ll be away from the parishes on retreat. I’ll be making a silent, directed retreat, at the Eastern Point Jesuit Retreat House, in Gloucester, Massachusetts. (www.easternpoint.org) This very beautiful campus sits on the rocky shore of the Atlantic Ocean, about an hour’s drive north of Boston. I love the profound silence, and the rugged grandeur of Eastern Point. I look forward to “renewing my ongoing conversation” with God who gives me life, love, and purpose. Please know that I will pray for all parishioners, my brother priests, our dedicated staff members, and all in Lawrence County who may be searching to experience the love Jesus has for all people.

Through your continued generosity, the St. Vincent de Paul Society has brought much love and compassion to so many families in our parishes and communities by providing help with rent, food, utilities and fuel. We are very grateful for the support you have given for so many years. Our four parish conferences sincerely thank you for helping us help God’s children. Donation Boxes for the St. Vincent de Paul Society Clothing Drive (new & gently used clothes, shoes, coats & belts) are located in the parking lots of both St. Vincent de Paul and St. Joseph the Worker parishes. Thank you for your constant generosity—proceeds benefit our mission to the needy in our community. The St. Vitus Food Pantry needs volunteers on the second Saturday of each month to help with set-up and distribution of food. Please call 724-652-3422 if you can lend a hand. The Food Pantry at St. Joseph the Worker is open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM. Helpers and donations of food are very welcome at any time. Volunteers Needed! Together with First Presbyterian Church our four parishes are seeking volunteers to help serve lunch to needy children during the summer months. Whether you’d like to volunteer for one week this summer or a few days here and there we can use your help! Beginning Monday, June 9th, lunch will be served Monday—Friday from 11:30 AM—12:30 PM at the Grant Street Community Center. The food will be prepared for us and simply requires us picking up the food, serving it, and cleaning up. A 2-hour training session for safe food handling is provided and at least one volunteer per day must complete the training. Please consider giving a few hours this summer to help our neighbors in need. For more information or to volunteer, please call Fr. Nick at (724) 652-3422.

Chris Mannerino and Zach Galiyas, our seminarians for the past few years, have been called by Bishop Zubik to be ordained as Deacons, the last step before priesthood. We really want to support them on this special day and have organized for a motor coach to travel to Saint Paul Cathedral for the Ordination Mass on Saturday, June 14, 2014. The coach will leave from Saint Joseph the Worker at 8:00 AM for the 10:00 AM Mass and will return by 2:30 PM. Cost is $12 per person and includes a boxed lunch on the way back to New Castle. There are only 55 seats available and we hope to fill them all! Please call Rosemary at (724)658-1683 to reserve your spot or for more information. Join us as we witness Chris and Zach being filled with the Holy Spirit to serve the Church as deacons!
