EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES OF THE WORLD On May 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish will be hosting the Eucharistic Miracles of the World. Holy Rosary is located at 215 S. Washington Ave., Medford, WI. Experience 126 Church approved Eucharistic Miracles described on 140 panels of the Vatican International Exhibition of the Eucharistic Miracles of the World. In the entire history of the Catholic Church there have been numerous Eucharistic Miracles approved by the Catholic Church as worthy of belief. The Eucharistic Miracles Exhibit is composed of an extensive assortment of photographs and historical descriptions of miracles, healings, and visions. The public will be invited to view the panels on the following dates and times:

Thursday, May 6th from 4:00pm to 8:00pm Friday, May 7th from 4:00pm to 8:00pm Saturday, May 8th from Noon to 8:00pm Sunday, May 9th from 9:00am to 3:00pm There is no cost to come and view the display. Do not miss this opportunity to grow closer to the Eucharist by viewing this incredible display. BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS We will have video about Carlo Actuis the teenager from Italy who put together this amazing display. Born May 3, 1991, Carlo Acutis was an Italian Roman Catholic teenager known for his cheerful demeanor and computer science skills. Carlo also had a deep devotion to the Eucharist, which he put into action by documenting Eucharistic miracles from around the world and cataloging them. When he contracted leukemia, Carlo offered his suffering up for the pope and the Church. He died in 2006 at the age of 15. On Oct. 10, 2020, Carlo Acutis was beatified at a special Mass in the city of Assisi, putting the late teenager just one step away from saint-hood. For info: Mike Bub at 715-748-3336 ext. 248

THANK YOU to everyone that made our Annual St. Peter Spring Turkey Dinner a great success! We served 435 dinners. There was indeed some challenges to this year's dinner, but thanks to everyone's help and patience, we were able to pull it off very smoothly. We certainly appreciate all the time and donations given. It was truly a pleasure to see everyone working together and enjoying each other's fellowship. Thank you for all your support! THANKS to your generous support, Cross Catholic Outreach shipped 61,422 Boxes of Joy to children in need around the world. These children, who some had never received a Christmas gift in their lives, received one for the first time. In a year marked by the pandem-ic, the joy you imparted was particularly significant in the “JOY” on the faces of these children and their families! Thank you for putting your faith in action! ……..

Join our community for a National Day of Prayer

THIS Thursday, May 6, 2021

Barron County NDP Event Foursquare Church, Barron — 12pm

We pray that America will be united in love, to love, To serve you with all our hearts, all our ways,

and all our days. Unite us to pray, to love, to live and walk by the Spirit.

Lord, pour out your love, life and liberty.

PLEASE NOTE: On April 15, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that it would eliminate the Protect Life Rule, which kept federal Title X money for family planning away from abortion businesses. The Protect Life Rule made it mandatory for abortion businesses to be physically and financially sepa-rated from family planning clinics. Also, under Protect Life, Title X clinics were forbidden to refer patients for abortions. With the elimination of the Protect Life Rule, Title X clinics will be able to use federal funds (YOUR hard earned money) to fund abortion. You have an opportunity to be heard. A change in this type of rule requires a period of public comment, which is already underway. By submit-ting a comment on the HHS website, you can tell the president that you do not want YOUR tax dollars to be used for abortions. Comments will be accepted until May 17, so please submit one as soon as possible. And ask every like-minded person you know to submit a comment as well. Let’s make sure this administration knows how Americans feel about being forced to subsidize abor-tion.
