Are you familiar with the word ‘vicarious’? It’s used a couple of ways – it can mean to do something IN PLACE of someone, like a substitute – or it can mean to do something or experience something THROUGH someone else. Some people live vicariously through their kids – like the dad who always wanted to play football, but fulfills that dream through his kid. The mom who always wanted to be a gymnast or singer – who gladly takes her daughter to practice all year long to live the experience she missed-out on growing up. The parents live their lives through the lives of their children.
Are you ready for the arrival of the Holy Spirit? New Spring is! Join us at St. Celestine this Saturday at about 5:35 before the 6pm Mass and Sunday at about 7:35 before the 8am Mass.
We will be playing a number of praise and worship songs to stir your spirit and soul in celebration of Pentecost! Remember to wear red!
We had a wonderful rehearsal last night with 9 members there. Hope to see you at St. Celestine this weekend. If you haven't seen us play before you can check out a sample here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE92D0A90CB757BDD&feature=plcp
The Saving Grace Youth Group would like to thank all who participated and sponsored our 2nd annual 5K event. A cloudy, cool, brisk morning did not dampen the spirits of the 50 runners/walkers who participated. We would like to thank Father Eugene, Deacon Mike and the Dubois Volunteer Fire Dept. for their support and help, we couldn't do it without you! The top male finisher was Alex Linne and female was Sarah Richard.

The CPC for both Parishes is progressing nicely, once again the generosity of our Cluster Parishioners has been overwhelming. We will need to be wrapping up the year so those who haven't returned their pledge cards will be contacted at the beginning of May. If you need a new card contact either Parish office. God Bless you for your generosity.
