Dear Parishioners,
As we progress through the Easter Season there are many wonderful things happening in our parish, both socially and sacramentally and I invite you to participate in everything.
We sincerely congratulate all our young people who celebrated First Communion on Saturday morning, as well as their parents who helped bring them to this special moment. Their names are listed elsewhere in this bulletin, and I ask you to please keep them in your prayers so that their first communion may not be their last communion and that they learn to practice their faith on an ongoing, regular basis.
Our Helping Hands Group will be sponsoring their final Pancake Breakfast this weekend after the 10:30 Mass. This is a free of charge fund raising event which has proven to be very popular this year. Increasingly large crowds have been stopping downstairs after mass to attend these Helping Hands 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 know that I have not said much about it this year, but it is still not too late to make your pledge to the Annual Appeal. We are just inches away from our parish goal and if just a few more people respond, we will not only make it, but go over. IF we go over, the
difference is refunded directly back to the parish, for our own use. Please consider helping, we would really appreciate it.
Finally, thank you for your attention to last weeks Called by Name process. A few names were brought forward from our parish, but it is not too late for more. Cards are still available in the pews and online.
Fr. Armand
