BAPTISMAL INSTRUCTIONS

Please call the Rectory Office for dates and information about Baptism.

FATHERS DAY NOVENA

Sunday, June 20^th is Father's Day. Each year for Father's Day we begin a series of Novena of Masses at Mission Church for them. Enroll them now in this greatest of gifts: the Celebration of the Eucharist. Cards are now available in the Rectory Office. We will continue to think of our father: for those who have gone back to God, we thank God for their love and we know we will all know them again as they welcome us to eternal life. For those still with us, we pray for an extra blessing on them. You can enroll your Father, Grandfather, husband, uncle, brother, godfather or any friend.

Richard S. Bennett, C.Ss.R.   PRAY THE ROSARY THE CRANES AND THE ABBESS FROM ORFORDAcross the river from Orford, I saw a flock of cranes arise. With straightened necks and legs like stilts rising before my eyes. The cranes came in the Springtime but did not long bide. They would make their nests on some distant stretch along the riverside. The town of Orford like other towns is a restless place at best. Young folks leave as the cranes left for a final place of rest. One day, a young girl from Orford set out at break of day And drove to a hill near St. Botolph's town. A score of miles away, She joined nuns working in a field, praising God night and day, She left all things behind her, even the clothes she wore, And clothed herself with rough Trappist robes to wear forevermore.  The cranes came in their season as long as they could fly, But the years roll on and it may be their coming has long gone by. The young girl is now abbess like abbesses of old, Chosen to rule with mother love and not with power or gold. The Orford folk love the abbess though she left for the cloistered hill, They know that she prays for them night and day and so is with them still.  The abbess prays for the young folk seeking a place of rest, That they find their own road to the heart of God and that will be the best. - John E. Doherty, C.Ss.R.
