Happy Pentecost Sunday! This Sunday every year, we celebrate Jesus keeping His word and sending the Holy Spirit to be with us and guide in following Him. After His Ascension, the Father with the Son sent the Holy Spirit upon the Church represented by the Apostles and our Blessed Mother. The Holy Spirit continues to guide the Church today in following Jesus as the Way, Truth, and the Life. On this Pentecost Sunday, I am excited to announce Collin Taylor has been accepted by our Diocese as a Seminarian. Collin will begin Seminary formation in August at Bishop Brute Seminary in Indianapolis. Collin became Catholic about 2 years ago at CTK and has been a parishioner since his conversion. You will see Collin around at CTK learning the ropes from Dennis Trickey, he will be wearing black cassock when he serves Mass like Dennis. Collin will be serving this summer as a missionary for Totus Tuus throughout the Diocese. I am very proud of Collin. He is a great young man who loves Jesus and we celebrate him entering seminary with sendoff on Aug 2 Mass after 10am Mass. Please keep Collin in your prayers as prepares to enter seminary and begin formation to become a priest of Jesus Christ. Please note, May 25 is Memorial Day and Daily mass will be at 8am that day.

Happy Ascension of the Lord! We are coming to the close of another Easter Season with Pentecost being celebrated next weekend. The Ascension of our Lord celebrates Jesus returning to the right hand of the Father. He brings the human nature that he assumed and joined to His Divine Nature into Heaven. From His Heavenly throne after Ascension, he leads the Church through the Holy Spirit working with the Magisterium. The Pope serves as Vicar of Christ. Vicar means representative not replacement thus the Pope represents Jesus on Earth and seeks to lead us closer to Christ Jesus the Head of Church. Jesus thus directs the operation and strategy of the Church through the Pope and the Bishops united to the Pope. This past week at our Parish Grade School, we had our 8th Grade Graduation, Baccalaureate Mass, and Awards. As they head into high school, we the pray the Holy Spirit guides to know the love of Christ and root their lives in Him as they continue through educational journey. Congrats to them and they will be missed at CTK. Finally, reminder, that our Corpus Christi Procession will be on June 7 after 10am Mass. We will have a social event afterwards in the Parish Center. More details to come closer to the date. In Christ’s Mercy,  Fr. Mark Tracy Please note that there will be incense at these Masses: May 23: 4:30pm May 24: 10am May 30: 10am June 6: 4:30pm June 7: 10am Military Schedule May 16-17 and June 12-14

Happy 6th Sunday of Easter! This weekend, I will be preaching on and announcing our new Parish Vision, Mission, and Values. This Vision and Mission builds upon our rich tradition and a lot of the values are already being lived out in our Parish. As I mentioned last week, this vision and mission will be a roadmap for us moving forward and will shape our priorities. In our society this weekend, we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mothers are a true gift from God and reveal God’s love in a unique way. My own mother has help me discover the unconditional love of God in many ways and I am truly grateful for her sacrificial love for the years. I pray you have a Blessed Mother’s Day weekend, we will offer a blessing for mothers at the end of Masses this weekend. Finally, reminder, that our Corpus Christi Procession will be on June 7 after 10am Mass. We will have a social event afterwards in the Parish Center. More details to come closer to the date. In Christ’s Mercy, Fr. Mark Tracy Military Schedule May 16-17 and June 12-14
