This Week at St. Edward:

MONTH OF MAY	FLOWERS FOR MARY - During the month of May, we would like to have a different family (one a week) to be responsible for placing fresh flowers before the Blessed Mother statue. One fresh array of your garden flowers will do nicely! Try to have a fresh bouquet ready for the Saturday evening Mass each week. A vase will be provided if needed. A schedule of weeks can be found on the bulletin board in the church vestibule for your family to reserve. A beautiful gesture and God will bless you!
