Welcome Riese Baker — Young Adult Ministry Leader
We are excited to welcome Riese Baker as our Young Adult Ministry Leader!
Originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, Riese was raised in a Catholic home and attended Belmont Abbey College, where she earned a B.A. in Criminal Justice. Following college, she served as a missionary with The Culture Project, an initiative dedicated to restoring culture through virtue while proclaiming the dignity of the human person and the beauty of living with sexual integrity.
​

During her time with The Culture Project, Riese gave presentations to middle school and high school students, as well as young adults, on topics including human dignity, authentic love, and sexual integrity. She now serves as a middle school teacher in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
​
Riese has a true passion for building community among young adults and creating opportunities for them to grow in faith and fellowship. We are grateful to welcome her to this ministry and look forward to all that God has in store through her leadership.

Fr. Bell's  (5/10) Bulletin Reflection
Our reflection today is adapted from a prayer by Fr. Austin Fleming of the Archdiocese of Boston.

Mothers will be celebrated by their families this weekend in special ways. There will be flowers and sweets; phone calls from children who live too far away for a visit; cards and gifts; breakfast in bed or brunch or dinner at a nice restaurant. Keep a place in your prayer this day for all the mothers who will rejoice with their families this weekend.

Some women will spend this Mother’s Day in anticipation of the birth of a child they’re carrying – perhaps their first child. Other expectant mothers are making their way through the long process of adoption. Keep a place in your prayer this Mother’s Day for those who are expecting the arrival of a child.

Pray With the Pope - That Everyone Might Have Food
Today, millions of people continue to suffer from hunger. This threatens the dignity of the most vulnerable and questions the way we live and share our resources. In his prayer intention for this month, Pope Leo invites us to pray that no one might lack the food they need and that we might learn to live more responsibly, recognizing that the earth’s resources are a gift for everyone. He also encourages us to awaken a new awareness—one capable of gratitude, sharing and caring for others, thus promoting a culture of solidarity.
You are not alone. By praying, you join the millions of people who belong to the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network who, from every corner of the world, are praying for the challenges of humanity and the Church’s mission.
Take a moment—pray with the Pope.
