May has been a very busy month: First Holy Communions, Confirmations, and May being the month of Mary, our Blessed Mother, and graduations. It is also still the Easter Season until Pentecost, June 8. We most especially thank God for our new Pope Leo lVX asking for His graces for Pope Leo’s journey as our Vicar of Christ.
We have so many things to be thankful for here at St. Maximilian, thriving ministries, engaged parishioners, volunteers ready and willing, and a faithful staff. I would like to take this time to thank you all for your kindnesses, work, and presence here at St. Maximilian.
As we gear "down" toward summer, please remember while we take time to relax and enjoy the less busy summertime here at church, we don't take a respite from prayer and thanksgiving. Please join us at our regular confessions, recitation of the rosary before daily 8am Masses, and Sunday Masses to pray and gather together. All this information is published in our bulletins and on our website. I look forward to seeing and praying with you.
Although many ministries will be less active, we do have registration processes in affect for September's Confirmation classes, Elementary Faith Formation, Kolbe Korner's Preschool, Vacation Bible School, Youth Ministry, and a new summer Bible Study for adults. Please see our website and our bulletins for those dates and times or email those ministry heads for more information.
God bless you as you go on vacations and enjoy our beautiful summer weather.
In thanksgiving for our wonderful parish, yours in Christ, Msgr. Paul M. Albee, Pastor
