Fifth Sunday of Easter, May Crowning of Mary and  Mother’s Day Music and Mass Links

Dear Fellow Parishioners.

Happy Mother’s Day! I couldn’t decide whether to provide you a link for Shubert’s Ave Maria or Gounod’s Ave Maria to honor the Virgin Mary, our heavenly mother, as well as the mothers of our parish, so I’m providing links for both! I hope all of you who are mothers, and those who are celebrating with them, have a fabulous day!

Schubert’s Ave Maria sung by Mirusia
Gounod’s Ave Maria sung by Kathleen Battle

You can find the lyrics for this Sunday’s music in this attachment. This week John has another song I didn’t know, so just in case you don’t know it either, here is a link to give it a listen: “Come to Me and Drink” https://youtu.be/qAfTt2pN8Aw

Once again, Happy Mother’s Day. May God bless you all and keep you safe,

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy Good Shepherd Sunday! The lyrics for this week’s songs can be found at this attachment. John picked some great songs including our opening hymn, “Christ the Good Shepherd” by Bob Hurd which was new to me so it may be new to you, too. You can hear it at the following link: https://youtu.be/Uqjoq2wP5M4

My music choices to share with you this week include one we have sung at mass and a second that we have not.

“Did You Know” by Bernadette Farrell https://youtu.be/guok8N4w1j8

and

“I Will Rise” by Tomlin, Reeves and Maher https://youtu.be/bYxTZAVHstY

Have a wonderful week and stay healthy and safe,

Father Tom is out of the Hospital

Fr. Tom was discharged from the hospital yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. He is recuperating at his sister Mary Ellen’s house in Coronado.

Hmmm, not a bad place to recover… They are pleased at how well he is doing. The doctor said he will definitely needs to take the full 6 to 8 weeks or so to recover, but he is off to a good start. They are hoping that there will be no further repairs needed.

Fr. Tom took a five minute walk today. He is moving very slowly, and in a lot of pain, but he is at least moving.

Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

Mary, Mother of the Church

Tomorrow, on May 1st, Archbishop José H. Gómez, Archbishop of Los Angeles and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in consecrating the two nations to the care of the Blessed Mother under the title “Mary, Mother of the Church.” “This will give the church the occasion to pray for Our Lady’s continued protection of the vulnerable, healing of the unwell and wisdom for those who work to cure this terrible virus,” said Archbishop Gómez in a letter to the U.S. bishops. Each year, the church seeks the special intercession of the Mother of God during the month of May. We encourage you to join in this prayerful opportunity tomorrow, Friday, May 1st at 12 Noon as we all unite in prayer as a nation to entrust this pandemic situation to the care of our Blessed Mother. You may view the consecration here:
