May 16 - Divine Mercy Chaplet
The Divine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament to follow on Friday, May 16 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. at the South Church. All are welcome.
May 17 - Cemetery Clean-up Day
A general clean up of the parish cemetery has been scheduled for Saturday, May 17 from 8:30-11:00 a.m.. Please bring along your own rakes, pruning shears, gloves and other garden equipment. In case of rain, it will be postponed until Saturday, May 24. Let’s pray for nice weather so that our beautiful cemetery will be in tip-top shape for the Memorial Day weekend. If you have any Christmas or fall decorations or any other kind that has faded or is falling apart, please remove them before May 17 as they will be disposed of on that day. Please remember that all decorations must stay within your gravesite and not encroach on another site. Quality not quantity is the most eye pleasing. Also, when using shepherd hooks and other decorative pieces, keep in mind that our lawn mowing maintenance cannot do a proper job when hampered by too many objects in its path. No trees or bushes may be planted in the cemetery. Our cemetery is located 1/8 miles west of Wauwatosa Road on Pioneer Road. For further information, please contact Rita Bert at 377-1070, ext. 227.
May 17 - Bishop Sklba’s Saturday Schedule at SFB
On the afternoon of Saturday, May 17, Bishop Sklba will meet with all of our catechists, and then join them for a picnic lunch on our grounds. I know he will thank our catechists for teaching our youth, and encourage them to excel in this ministry. He will then celebrate the 5:00 p.m. Mass for our parish. He will greet you after Mass. That evening he will meet with the members of our Human Concerns Committee and Uganda Twinning Committee. He knows about the extensive service and outreach ministries we have at SFB, and he wants to hear more personally, especially about our ongoing relationship with St. Paul the Apostle in Mukono, Uganda. The menu for dinner that night is the same menu that SFB serves each month at the All Saints Meal Site in Milwaukee.
May 18 - Bishop Sklba’s Sunday Schedule at SFB
On Sunday, May 18, the bishop will preside and preach at both the 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Masses. Our adult choir and youth choir will lead the congregation in singing. He will gladly meet parishioners in the parish hall after each Mass, so bring your camera. The Women’s Guild will be serving coffee and refreshments for you that morning. At lunch, Bishop Sklba (his name is pronounced SKEL-ba. He’s Slovak), will meet formally with our Parish Council to discuss the life of the parish and what impact we make on the larger Cedarburg/Grafton community. That afternoon the 25 high school students who are going on the summer mission trip will be meeting, so the bishop will drop in on their meeting. While he originally planned on going home that afternoon, he decided to stay and celebrate our 6:00 p.m. Sunday evening Mass. He wants to hear the fire choir and see our high school students so actively involved in all the liturgical ministers of the Mass. The staff told him how proud we are of our high school youth.
May 19 - Bishop Sklba’s Monday Schedule at SFB
Monday, May 19, Bishop Sklba will be back to celebrate the regular 8:00 a.m. morning Mass at south. He was impressed to learn that about 60 people, younger and older, attend the daily Mass. He will have coffee with the attendees afterwards in the school library. Then the bishop will tour our Catholic school and meet with the entire student body in three separate groups—primary, intermediate, and upper school. Finally, he will meet with our pastoral staff over lunch.
