June 15th will mark the 6th Anniversary of Fr. Scott’s being ordained into the priesthood. We are sure that Fr. Scott would like nothing more than your prayers to mark this occasion. Thank you Father for hearing God’s call and responding with a joy filled, “YES!” -St. Edward the Confessor Staff

 The last words the Lord speaks to his disciples in Matthew’s gospel are: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…and behold, I am with you always, to the closing of the age” (Mt 28: 19-20).

ALL ARE WELCOME – FREE- June 9, 2019 after the 11:30 mass Please bring your own picnic lunch. If you would like, also bring your favorite Family Heritage dish to share. We will have games, a scavenger hunt, corn hole and other activities. Bring your own lawn chairs, shade and blankets. We hope to see all of you there. Immediately following the picnic, join us for a concert performed by our wonderful choir entitled “A Year of Music.” What a great way to celebrate the birthday of the church!

 This Sunday we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus Christ into Heaven. It seems strange that we would celebrate Jesus leaving this world.
