Gospel

Jn 17:11b-19

Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed saying:
"Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth."

Bishops Religious Liberty Prayer
from "Our First, Most Cherished Liberty, A Statement on Religious Liberty"

Almighty God, Father of all nations,

For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1).

We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.

Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;

By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land.

We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Education Building Project Update
Friday May 11

Hallelujah, there be asphalt. Most of the new parking areas got their first layer of asphalt today.

Today is a great day, but be warned. Most of the side walk construction that will connect the parking areas to the Church has not been started yet. So, you will find yourself having to cross grass and dirt and maybe mud if it rains this weekend. So please be careful and be warned. Also, please pay attention to safety cones, safety fences and parking attendants, if on duty, to help you avoid problems. Also, please wear shoes that won't get ruined if you have to take a few long steps in mud.

Also, the new drop off circle in front of the Church is not completed. It has gray gravel but no paving as of this afternoon.

All sub contractors were on the site this week. Below is an estimate of completion of the various disciplines that are involved with the job.
	1st Floor	2nd Floor
Electrical (rough in)	100%	90%
Plumbing. (rough in)	100%	99%
HVAC (rough in)	100%	90%
Fire Sprinkler System	100%	80%

West Side Roads and Parking	Partially open this weekend
While there is still some work to be done the west side will be open this weekend for use.
You can now drive completely around the property on asphalt.
Again several days this week we had in excess of 50 people on the job at one time.
The stucco and stone work now are at appoint that you can get a feel for the way the exterior of the building will look.
In addition to the windows several of the exterior doors are installed .
A sneak preview of the building is scheduled for May 20 after the 11:00 AM mass.
At this point the progress is on target .
This week construction progress rates a B+.

To access the Church Office, the gravel pathway has been altered from the front parking area to the office.
