Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter

My Dear Parishioners, 
     Blessings from our Lord be with you all.  We are entering the month of May with the many celebrations and graduations.  On Saturday, May 6th at 4pm Mass is First Holy Communion for many of our children.  All children are required to be in church at 9am for the rehearsal, the installation of the scapulars, and to make their first confessions.  Parents are to be with their kids so that they may know where to sit and what is allowed during Mass.  For the 4pm Mass, all children are to wear their Sunday best for their Holy Communion and pictures taken after Mass in church.  May also is the month that we as Catholics give our love and devotion to Mother Mary.  Please continue with your daily prayer for your families and friends.  Please say an extra prayer for our First Holy Communion communicants and our 6th, 7th and 8th grade confirmation candidates.  Their confirmation Mass with the Bishop will be June 18th at 10:30 am.  The retreat, rehearsal and confession for all confirmation candidates start at 9am in the Fischer Center.  Finally, this weekend, please join our Vietnamese parishioners and friends of the parish for our annual food sales from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon in the Fischer Center.  PS. Please join me in extending our love, prayer and sympathy to Jayne Knipp’s family.  Jayne passed to eternal life April 15 and a funeral Mass was celebrated at All Saints on Friday April 21.  Thank you Jayne’s family for her memorial for All Saints Catholic Church and school. May she be with our Lord for all eternity.  Love you all, Fr. Hien
