It's shaping up to be a great Pilgrimage . to Portugal (Lisbon, Santerem,
Fatima), Spain (Alba de Tormes, Avila, Segovia, Burgos, Loyola, Pamplona &
Javier) and France (Lourdes, Paris & Lisieux). Out farewell dinner will be
in a restaurant in the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The brochure is now on-line,
along with a map and links to our hotels! The very reasonable price includes
transportation, luggage transfers, all admissions, guide, escort, all
breakfasts and dinners and even a packed lunch for the 1st Class train ride
from Lourdes to Paris. As always we'll celebrate daily Mass and pray the
Rosary when we're traveling. For complete details, follow the link from:

Mother's Day :: Mary's Month
Visit my Web Site for our Mother's Day page. It includes some great links,
stories and pass-alongs. Many of us who have lost moms find this a hard
time of the year. Visit our Grief Support page as well. You'll find the
blessing we use in Church here at Saint Pat's as well. I hope you enjoy it.
This is also Mary's Month. Learn more about what we believe about Mary as
Catholics. It's a great refresher for Catholics and it can be a great
awakening for those who are a bit suspicious about what we think of Mary.
Just click the link from:

No "Phishing!"
It's another scam, called Phishing. All these folks need is a bite or two
and they can become very wealthy, at the expense of you, the "Phish!" They
send a e-mail saying somebody has been trying to access your account or give
another reason. They ask you to log into their Web Site and give bank
information, Social Security numbers, passwords, etc. If you click on the
link they send, which you SHOULDN'T do, you'll see that you're at a
different Site altogether. It will look exactly like their site though. If
you submit the information you've given them all the tools they'll need to
steal your identity, wreck your credit rating and steal your money.
Financial institutions don't use e-mail to get information from you. If
you're in doubt, call them, or log into your account they way you normally
do. But "don't" click on that link sent by the Phishers!

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family.
One little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other
family members.
One child suggested that he was adopted and a little girl named Jocelyn Jay
said, "I know all about adoptions because I was adopted." "What does it mean
to be adopted?" asked another child. "It means," said Jocelyn, "that you
grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."

These are called ?Usual Suspects? posts. In the movie ?Casablanca? when there
was a problem the police chief said, ?Round up the usual suspects.? When
forwarding inspiring e-mails I found I was sending them to the same people over
and over again. The ?Casablanca? quote came to mind and the mail-list took on
the name ?Usual Suspects.?
The <US>Usual Suspects Group began as a separate e-mail list with.. A post or
two are sent each week, consisting of inspirational and humorous Stories and
anecdotes forwarded to me by our members.
Posts to this group are not intended to offend, hurt or discriminate against
anybody. They come from different theologies and points of view that aren't
necessarily Father Pat's, Catholic, or that of Father Pat's Diocese or the
parish he serves. Some are humorous, others inspirational, most are both. They
are simply food for thought, prayer, enjoyment and good conversation. If you
don't wish to receive them, please unsubscribe. It is not our intent to pass on
copyrighted material. Many of the posts we receive don't quote a source, so we
can't be absolutely sure. We ask our members *not* to submit copyrighted
material.
Stories for possible Usual Suspects inclusion should
be submitted at our Web Site.
