Fr. Jim’s Journal
Fr. James McNulty
HE IS RISE, ALLELUIA!
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALL OF
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MADE THEIR FIRST COMMUNION LAST SATURDAY AT ST. EDITH! It was a joyful day that you will remember for the rest of your life. It is
very important that you come to Mass each weekend and
receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Praying together as
a community and receiving the Eucharist strengthens us
spiritually. We become more like the Jesus that we receive. It helps us spiritually to live a Christian life all week,
loving and serving God by loving and serving one another.
The following young people made their First Communion
last Saturday at St. Edith:
Maxwell Altheide
Elsa Anderson
Svea Anderson

ALL ST EDITH VOLUNTEERS ARE INVITED TO
THE VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER ON SATURDAY MAY 21ST AFTER THE 5:00 MASS.
I highly value all of our volunteers. We could not do a
fraction of the things we do at St. Edith without all of you.
The number of volunteers we have in the Parish continues
to grow each year. I am continually amazed by the generosity of our Parishioners with their time and talent. We all
have busy lives and they continue to grow busier every
day. I am so grateful that so many of you are so selfless
when it comes to volunteer activities. It is our committed
Parishioners that make St. Edith a great Parish!
This is a small attempt on behalf of me and the staff at
St. Edith to say thank you to all of our many volunteers.
We will have drinks and appetizers at 6:16 and dinner at
7:00. If you plan to attend, please RSVP at the Parish
Office.
Love and Peace,
Fr. Jim

“The Mosaic That Shows Us the Face of
God" by Henri Nouwen: "A mosaic consists of
thousands of little stones. Some are blue,
some are green, some are yellow, some are
gold. When we bring our faces close to the
mosaic, we can admire the beauty of each
stone. But as we step back from it, we can see
that all these little stones reveal to us a beautiful picture, telling a story none of these stones
can tell by itself. That is what our life in community is about. Each of us is like a little stone,
but together we reveal the face of God to the
world. Nobody can say: "I make God visible."
But others who see us together can say: "They
make God visible." Community is where humility and glory touch." Respectfully submitted by
Sandy Rogala, 734-421-7145.
As a valuable volunteer of the
St. Edith community,
the Pastoral Staff invites you and
your guest to

Appreciation Party.
