Hi all,

Here's the latest Rooster Review! The May 2021 edition...

If clicking on the link below fails to open the Rooster Review, copy the link on the very bottom and paste it into your browser.  This should take you directly to RR.  I apoligize for the inconvience.  We really are trying to figure out why this isn't working the way it is supposed.

Thank you,

Russell Titone

The new Cursillo application was added to the website several months ago but, apparently not everyone got the message or knows how to access it.  If you go to the Files tab, the first file is 'Cursillo Application 2022'.  Click on that file and the application will open up in PDF format which you can then print out.  If for some reason this does not work for you or you can not print the application, contact me and I will mail you a hard copy.

Thank you,

The CVCC met on Sunday evening and after doing an updated analysis on cost, we are lowering the Weekend fee from $295 to $250 for this year.  We will revisit this after the Men's WE in the fall.  Below is a link to the current application.  It still says the cost is $295 but, ignore that for this year.

Thank you,

Russell

Hello Everyone,

Hopefully you have all heard that we are having a Women's Weekend in July.  The dates are July 17 through July 19.  We have a Rectora, we have a team, and we have a venue.  What we don't have are candidates!  The team has been meeting and working hard to prepare for this weekend.  It's time for the rest of us to get busy and get people signed up to attend.

We have all been charged by Jesus to bring the Gospel to the rest of the world, to evangelize.  As Cursillestas our target audience is the people in the pews.  You all know who they are.  They are the people who come to Church but, that is the extent of their involvement.  Cursillo is how we stir them to action by helping them open up to the Holy Spirit.

If you can convince someone to make a weekend, you just may help prevent them from slipping into that ever growing group of people known as "nones".  These are the people who have stopped coming to Church and no longer associate with any form of religion.  Don't forget the gifts you received when you made your weekend.  Those gifts are meant to be shared.

Below is a link to the application.  It still says the cost is $295 but, for this year it has been lowered to $250.  Print out as many as you need or contact me if you need help.

Thank you and DeColores,

We need musicians for Ultreyas!  We have had a couple of Ultreyas without any musicians attending and we've done the music acappella.  We do have a lot of enthusiasm and some very nice voices in our community but, they are definitely in the minority.  We need the instruments to help disguise the not so good voices.  If you play any kind of instrument, please come to the Ultreyas and help us make a joyful noise!

Hello All,

Please find attached the June 2022 edition of the Rooster Review.  We're still looking for candidates for both the Women's Weekend in July and the Men's Weekend in the fall.

DeColores,

Russell

 Rooster Review June 2022

Hello all,

You probably have received multiple copies of the announcement with the latest Rooster Review.  I apoligize for filling up your inbox but, we are having some difficulty with the website and are trying to fix it.  Please bear with us.

Thank you,

Russell

 Below is the men's team members for next month's men's weekend.  Please include them in your prayers.

Spiritual Directors

The Men's Team is requesting the community to pray the following intercessary prayers for them:

Prayer to St. Michael (Morning)

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Prayer to St. Gabriel (Midday)

O Blessed Archangel Gabriel, we beseech thee, do thou intercede for us at the throne of divine Mercy in our present necessities, that as thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation, so through thy prayers and patronage in heaven we may obtain the benefits of the same, and sing the praise of God forever in the land of the living. Amen.

Prayer to St. Raphael (Evening)

O Raphael, lead us toward those we are waiting for, those who are waiting for us: Raphael, Angel of happy meeting, lead us by the hand toward those we are looking for. May all our movements be guided by your Light and transfigured with your joy.

Angel, guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of life, we feel the need of calling you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so that we may not be as strangers in the province of joy, all ignorant of the concerns of our country. Remember the weak, you who are strong, you whose home lies beyond the region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene and bright with the resplendent glory of God. Amen.

A Prayer to Saint Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels (Night/Bedtime)

Heavenly King, You have given us archangels to assist us

during our pilgrimage on earth.

Saint Michael is our protector;

I ask him to come to my aid,

fight for all my loved ones,

and protect us from danger.

Saint Gabriel is a messenger of the Good News;

I ask him to help me clearly hear Your voice

and to teach me the truth.

Saint Raphael is the healing angel;

I ask him to take my need for healing and that of everyone I know,

lift it up to Your throne of grace and

deliver us back to the gift of recovery.

Help us, O Lord, to realize more fully the reality of archangels and their desire to serve us. Holy angels, pray for us. Amen.
