PASTOR’S NOTE
First Holy Communion
Next Sunday, May 3rd, fourteen of our young
parishioners will receive their First Holy
Communion at the 10:30 Mass. Please keep them
and their families in your prayers, especially
during this week, that the Holy Eucharist will
always be at the center of their lives individually
and as families, and that Sunday Mass will be the
priority of each week.
Our Persecuted Sisters and Brothers
In these weeks after Easter, passages of the Acts of
the Apostles read at Mass describe the faith,
courage, confidence and enthusiasm of the
apostles and disciples as they began the preaching
of the Good News. We also hear about the ways in
which they were persecuted because of their faith.
At the present time we are witnessing the intense
persecution of Christians in various places around
the world. We must join in prayerful solidarity
with and for them. As part of our prayer, we can
make the mortifications, both involuntary and
voluntary, of each day an expression of solidarity
with and love for our sisters and brothers who are
literally dying for the Faith.
Let us pray, also, that world leaders, especially
leaders of the “free” world, will muster the courage
to call this persecution what it is, to condemn the
persecutors and effectively do something to stop
this evil from spreading any further and
continuing and longer.
Let us pray that Mary, our Mother will protect and
console those who are suffering so unjustly and
brutally.
In the Risen Lord,
Father Ceriello

Regina Caeli – Queen of Heaven
During the Easter season, that is from Easter Sunday through
Pentecost Sunday, we pray the Regina Caeli in place of the
Angelus at Noon and 6PM, as well as at nighttime before
retiring. It is offered here in English, and in (the far more
poetic) Latin!
V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
R. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.
V. Has risen, as He said, alleluia.
R. Pray for us to God, alleluia.
V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the
resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we
beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin
Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

V. Regina Caeli, laetare, alleluia.
R. Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia.
V. Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia.
V. Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia.
R. Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia.
Oremus. Deus, qui per resurrectionem Filii tui, Domini nostri
Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare dignatus est: praesta,
quaesumus; ut per eius Genetricem Virginem Mariam,
perpetuae capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eundum Christum
Dominum nostrum. Amen.
