Dear St. Paul’s Family,
This is a gentle reminder that I will be out for most of the month of May. It is an odd division of time as I will be out from May 6 until the night of May 15 for my continuing education in Rome. I then turn around and leave again after mass on Sunday, May 21, to go home for about 10 days of vacation. There will be no weekday masses on: Tuesday May 9, Wednesday May 10, Thursday May 11, Tuesday May 16, Tuesday May 23, Wednesday May 24, Thursday May 25, Tuesday May 30, and Wednesday May 31.
Fr. Heschlē will be covering the masses on May 7 and May 14, and Bishop Martins will be here for May 28th (The Feast of Pentecost).
The Ascension of Our Lord takes place on Thursday, May 18th. The mass will be at 7:00 pm in the Church.
The Rector's class will be taking a break during the month of May, and I anticipate finishing the Screwtape Letters by early July. The next book I suggest you pick up or borrow from the library will the C.S. Lewis Signature Classics that Amazon has for about $34. It contains several of his books, including the next one we will study, The Problem of Pain. After The Problem of Pain I will likely go to the great book by Fulton J. Sheen, The Life of Christ. Whilst it is a (great) Roman Catholic author, I would suggest you look into it, or find it for free on the internet and take a look before you dismiss it out of hand. It is a powerful book with modern implications.
See you in church!
Fr. Garland
