for knitting and crocheting. Please come join us, or drop in
any time, as we always meet on Monday afternoons at 1:00 in
the Parish Center;. Everyone is welcome to come visit us any-
time. For more information call 887-4728.
Sunday Morning Rosary Did you know we pray the rosary each Sunday at 8:00 a.m.?
Everyone is invited to meet with other parishioners to pray
the rosary before the 8:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday.
Faith in Action Faith in Action is a monthly, interactive look at particular
aspects of Church teaching and how these can be reflected
in our lives. Meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at
9:45 a.m., we usually view a short film, following it up with a
free exchange involving discussion questions or activities.
Each session lasts about an hour. Join us on May 1 (follow
the signs) for a film on some powerful tools that give poor
persons a real opportunity to rise from seemingly inevitable
poverty. We will take a break during the summer months. St. Vincent de Paul Society The Society of St. Vincent de Paul will meet on Thursday,
May 3 at 6:00 p.m. in the Father Allen Room. We will have
a short period of reflection and prayer, followed by a social
activity. The financial support of our parishioners helps us
serve our neighbors in need!

from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Youth Room (use the brown
doors on the south side of the parish center). For more in-
formation call 417-894-7959 or just show up.

brate their FIRST COMMUN-
ION during the 5:00 p.m.
