The virtue for the month of May is "Love" ('Love me as I have loved you.') Love is selfless and giving. It means giving to others those things you would want given to you--and it's done knowing it may not be returned. Christian love is shown in our respect, our mercy, and our charity toward others. Virtue mass: 2nd grade, Friday, May 11, 8:15 A.M.
