Dear Parishioners,
My sincerest best wishes to all Mothers, Grandmothers and Godmothers of the parish on this Mother’s Day. Your sacrifices and hard work for your families does not go unnoticed by all of us and by God, and your reward will certainly be great in heaven.
Thank you also to our Helping Hands Group who sponsored their final Pancake Breakfast last weekend after the 10:30 Mass. Their free of charge fun raising events have proven to be very popular this year. Increasingly large crowds have been stopping downstairs after mass to attend these events, which is such an important part of being a parish. In your name, I thank all the fine ladies who plan and execute all these fun moments for us. It is a great deal of work, and I hope they know how much their efforts are appreciated. I must also give a special nod of thanks to our young people who work so hard serving and helping to set up/clean up. They do this of their own free will, it is not a required part of their sacramental service. They are a genuine inspiration to see and interact with.
I know that many of you won’t like this but…. Just to prepare you, as we move closer to summer, and with it our annual exodus of parishioners, we will be making some changes to our Sunday Mass schedule for June through the end of August. It has become painfully obvious to everyone that during these months, we simply do not require 4 Masses on Sunday. We are spending large amounts to light and air-condition a church which, at some Masses, have only 30-40 people in attendance. Good stewardship of our resources, as well as the principles of good liturgy demand that we make some adjustments. You will be given much more information within the next few weeks, but I wanted to plant the seed now.
Fr. Armand
