Men’s Club
Men's Club Raffle -- Thank you to all who have already returned their raffle tickets. The raffle is one of our largest
fundraisers for Nativity School and the NELC. There still is
time to return tickets in the envelope provided, or in the collection basket at church over the next couple weeks. Each
month from May until October we announce five winners of
prizes from $100 to $300. If you didn't get tickets you can
still request them at raffle@nativitymen.org. Pro Liberis!
Food Drive
Totals of the March Food Campaign
- 2,649 lbs. of food (almost 500 lbs. more than 2014!)
- $5,915 in cash donations (almost double
2014’s total, including individual gifts of
$1,000 and $900 as well as a matching gift
of $1,000 from a parishioner’s employer)
Nativity wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to all who contributed in generous ways, big and small: to all who donated
cash and groceries; to Widmer’s for once again supplying the
grocery bags; to delivery drivers Judy Regnier and Joy
Knopp; to the 4th grade Girls Scouts (pictured below); their
leaders, especially Kathleen Sexton; and their parents. The
Girl Scouts’ continued support of this project makes a huge
difference!
Remember, the first weekend of every month is food collection weekend for groceries. Monetary donations can be
made at any time--just put Keystone Food Shelf on memo
line.

Adoration
During Lent, I urged you to consider dedicating yourself to
one hour of weekly prayer in Nativity’s Perpetual Adoration
Chapel. Thank you to those who answered the call! I encourage you all to continue the same spirit of prayerfulness
into the Easter season.
There are still a few hours in need of adorers.
The following hours currently have no adorers
scheduled:
-Monday 3-4pm
-Tuesday noon-1pm
-Saturday 2-3am, 4-5am
By committing yourself to weekly prayer in the presence of
the Blessed Sacrament, you will begin to fully open yourself
to the Lord and allow Him to accomplish what He wills in
your life.
-Fr. Patrick
If interested in signing up to become a regular adorer or dedicated substitute, contact Jim at mcquillanj@rjffs.com.
…in Mercy
Are you living with regret for something you have done? Are
you clinging to the shame that you feel over a word or action,
small or large? Is there something you can do to make it
right?
Will an apology help?
What if there is no one to apologize to?
What if it’s too old, or too convoluted, or just too out of reach?
What do you do?
As Pope Francis says:
“No one can be excluded from God’s mercy.”
God is always there to listen to our sorrows and receive our
apologies.
Talk to him.
He is generous with His mercy!
All we have to do is ask.
Jesus, I am sorry. Help me to know your mercy.

Catholic Services Appeal
Cover Art
The 2015 Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) is underway. If you
have not made your contribution to the 2015 CSA, please
consider doing so today. Pledge envelopes are available in
each pew.
The Appeal funds services that no
one parish or individual can support
alone. These services must go on
throughout these troubled times in our
Archdiocese. And, when our parish
reaches its goal, 25% of all funds received will be returned for use to support ministries in our parish.
Please give generously to help
share the message of salvation
throughout our local church and beyond. For a description of CSA-designated ministries, or to
give online, please visit the new Catholic Services Appeal
Foundation website at www.csafspm.org.
