The following bulletin is courtesy of Andrew Musgrave, Director of Social Justice and Outreach for Three Holy Women, Our Lady of Divine Providence, St. Peter and Paul and Old St. Mary:

Mercy Calls Your Name Join our Family of Four Parishes to make your personal Lenten journey prayerful and one of spiritual growth. Together we embark on this year’s Parish Mission: “Mercy Calls Your Name” held next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights at Three Holy Women Parish’s Holy Rosary Church from 6:30 to 8 pm. Childcare will be available. Rich Harter, Director of the John Paul II Center for the New Evangelization, will lead the three nights of reflection, prayer, and music that explores Mercy Given – Mercy Received – Mercy Shared. The merciful love of God has come to meet us in the person of Jesus. He seeks us out, calls us by name, and touches our wounds with healing mercy. Loving us past our brokenness on the cross, Jesus sets us free and sends us out to give his gift of mercy to others. Each night will feature a powerful message, beautiful music, and an invitation to serve during this Year of Mercy. The Sacrament of Reconciliation and Eucharistic Adoration will be available on Tuesday night and receptions will follow in the church hall on Monday and Wednesday nights.    Lenten Small Groups Have you joined one of the small faith-sharing groups that will meet for four weeks this Lent? Small groups offer the chance to form relationships to help you feel connected and known to your fellow parishioners. These groups also offer the opportunity to talk about how faith might matter in your everyday life. We ask you to prayerfully consider taking part. The groups will be led by fellow parishioners, with a variety of times and locations available. To choose a small group, visit http://tinyurl.com/LentenSmallGroups2016 or contact Andrew Musgrave, 414-271-6577 or musgravea@archmil.org.   For reflections, events, almsgiving information and more, visit our Family of Four Parishes shared webpage for Lent: mercycallsyourname.org.

The Mother's Day weather sure was disappointing, but the show still went on for Roses for Our Lady as they held Milwaukee's largest May Crowning event indoors at St. Vincent Pallotti church on 54th and Bluemound Rd in Milwaukee. The beautiful ceremony, presided by Fr. Timothy Kitzke, Pastor of Three Holy Women parish and co-presided by Fr. James Kubicki and Fr. Paul Schneider, was attended by 300 people from all over the city. Marian hymns were sung by the Andress Sisters as first communicants knelt and crowned a statue of the Blessed Mother.

Roses for Our Lady posted pictures, thanked all those who attended the May Crowning and for their support with a message on their Facebook page.

Via Roses for Our Lady:

Thank you to all who attended our May Crowning event yesterday afternoon! Despite rain forcing us to move the ceremony indoors, we had a packed church, beautiful music sung by the Andress Sisters and an overwhelming amount of support!

We are incredibly grateful to all who came out to show their love for the Blessed Mother and to honor her accordingly!

Please do consider attending our monthly holy hours every second Sunday of the month at St. Francis de Sales Seminary to continue our devotion to Mary!
