Father Casey B. Mahone WELCOME to our NEW PASTOR, FATHER CASEY MAHONE! Father Casey began his new assignment here on April 30. While we remain grateful for the help of Fr. Larry Cann the past four months and for Fr. John Lee's excellent service as temporary Administrator in April, it is good to finally have a permanent pastor. Following is a brief sketch of Father Casey: He was born in McDowell County and at age four, his family moved to Connecticut. His parents now reside in Grafton. A graduate of Alderson-Broaddus College, Fr. Casey is a convert from the Episcopal Church. His preparation for the priesthood was at St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Md. He was ordained June 3, 1989 at Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral, Charleston. His early pastoral assignments were St. Joseph the Worker, Weirton and Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral. He was Pastor of Immaculate Conception in Fairmont for ten years and prior to coming here, was Pastor of St. Francis Xavier, Parkersburg, for the past four years. Immaculate Conception Parish warmly welcomes Father Casey with prayers, support and friendship. May his ministry here be long and fruitful!!

Immaculate Conception has purchased for all Parish Families If you have downloaded or played these games give me some feedback so I will know whether to continue with these games or not. This month children perform tasks to help feed birds and take care of the lilies in the field. Ask the kids: Who normally takes care of the birds and wildflowers? What do they think it would be like if they had to do those jobs every day? Parish Email Directory, MAY 9 BLESSED NICHOLAS ALBERGATI Blessed Nicholas was born in Bologna, Italy. Nicholas' family could afford to send him to the university where he began to study law. But then after a few years, he decided not to become a lawyer. At the age of twenty, Nicholas joined the Carthusian order. In 1417, this Carthusian monk was chosen to be bishop of his native diocese. He had not counted on that at all. He could not even believe it could be God's will. But his superiors assured him it was. People liked Bishop Nicholas. He lived in a small, plain house. He was like them. He began to visit the people of his diocese. He went to the poorest families first. He talked with them and helped them with their needs. He blessed their homes. The people were very grateful. Bishop Nicholas became a cardinal in 1426. He was known to be wise and spiritual. Two popes, Martin V and Eugene IV, consulted him about important Church matters. Blessed Nicholas also encouraged learning. In fact, he wrote several books himself. He died while on a visit to Siena, Italy. Pope Eugene IV had his body brought back to Bologna. The pope himself participated in the funeral Mass and burial. Blessed Nicholas died in 1443. Perhaps today we are invited to reflect deeply on how God wants us to live our life. Are we living a God-centered life? If so, we are praising and giving glory to God.
