TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION:
Today we are at the fiftieth day of the Easter celebration: seven weeks of
seven days, a week of weeks, now culminating in a festival fiftieth day.
While the liturgical color of the Easter season is gold, on this last day we
have red. For the first thousand years of the church, there were no firm
rules for using colors. Only wealthy churches could afford a full array of
colors, and most places used the best vestments, no matter the color, for
the greatest feasts. The Church spelled out an exact plan for color,
including red for Pentecost, only in 1570, but local differences held on
until the 1800s.
Color experts tell us that red is a hot color, best used for fast-paced,
upbeat, active experiences. It is hard to be neutral before red, as any
matador will tell you. It invites commitment, draws you in. It is a
stimulating color, engaging the eye, stirring hunger. It is the most fitting
color for this day when we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit into our
lives, a dynamic presence overturning neutrality in favor of passion and
commitment.

What the Year of Faith logo means:
~the BOAT symbolizes the CHURCH coursing through the waves of time.
~the MAST of the boat is a CROSS, the sign of our faith in Jesus, from which
the sail is displayed in the form of the trigram of CHRIST (HIS, sometimes
interpreted as Jesus
Hominum Salvator-Jesus, savior of men).
~In the background is the SUN which, associated with the trigram, refers to
the EUCHARIST.

ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
Many thanks to all of you who have made a pledge to the Annual Catholic
Appeal and I encourage those who have not, to consider doing so now. We are
still well short of our goal of $48,000. Every pledge helps, no matter how
small. We all need to be part of our Parish and part of the Diocese; this is
one way of doing it. Please remember the Annual Catholic Appeal in your
prayers. God bless you.

ANOTHER THOUGHT…Allergies crop up from all sorts of things at all
times of the year. All year long, inside the church, particularly, an
overabundance of fragrance (both male and female) can be overwhelming for
many of our parishioners. And alas, those who snuff out one last smoke just
before entering church do cause a discomfort to all around. Please be
considerate of other parishioners at all times. Many thanks for your
understanding and cooperation!
FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Ann Curtis, Parish Secretary, will be retiring on Thur. May 30th,
after 23 years of loyal service at Guardian Angels. We will be hosting a
Cake and Ice Cream Social on Sun. June 2nd, at 12:30pm in

many stories and laughs as we bid Ann farewell.
We would like to announce and welcome the appointment of Patti Myers as our
new Parish Secretary, effective June 3rd.

One Final Note; PARISH PARKING:
With the size of vans, trucks and SUV’s today, parking is at a premium and
often times difficult. Please park courteously in our parish parking lots
and only in marked parking spaces. Parking outside of marked parking spaces
is a hazard to those walking and driving.
Thank you for your cooperation.
