______________________________________________________________________________________Spiritual Adoption Program -- Baby is Eight Months
Now I am finishing my development and concentrating on gaining weight. I am probably starting to make my mother uncomfortable with my size. For some time now I have recognized my mother’s voice. In a short time, I will be born. On behalf of mom and me, thank you for your prayers for the past eight months. It has not been easy, but your prayers have given her the grace she needed to make the right choices.

The Message of Our Lady of Fatima -- PRAYER, PEACE & PENANCEJoin us for the next six months to pray the rosary at the Fatima Shrine in New Hartford. We will pray from May to October on the 13th of each month at 12:10pm.
(The Shrine is on the Parish Office grounds)
We have so much to pray for … end of abortion, peace in the world, those suffering from natural disasters, an end to violence, etc.
During each of the apparitions Our Lady told the children of the importance of prayer and penance, especial during troubled times.

Bereavement Ministry Needs You!
Our Lady of Hope Parish needs compassionate friends who want to offer comfort to help their fellow parishioners who are dealing with overwhelming grief by reaching out to them throughout the first year of their loss, with correspondence and/or phone calls and through ongoing prayers for them and for the repose of the souls of their departed loved ones.
If you’ve experienced the loss of loved ones, you are aware of the pain that takes hold of those left behind. Please prayerfully consider helping to bring hope to our grieving parishioners who are mourning the loss of loved ones who have been called to their new life in heaven, through the resurrection of Jesus.
For more information, or to join our Parish Bereavement Ministry, please contact Connie Burzinske at 860-496-0708, or by email at cburzins@aol.com.
