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 Confirmation on Saturday evening 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 they continue to live out their Confirmation commitments to grow further in the life of holiness.
In the bulletin today you will find a letter from Cardinal Tobin concerning a Vocations Awareness program that the Archdiocese will begin next week. Please read it carefully and take note of how you will be asked to participate during Mass next weekend. While all vocations are essential to the life of the Church, the unique ministry of the ordained priesthood is vital for the celebration of the sacraments and the life of our parishes and people. Please begin to think of young men of faith within our parish and your own family who might be open to a “seed being planted” in their lives. Remember, vocations are everyone’s responsibility, not just those already doing it!
Our Helping Hands Group will be sponsoring their Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, May 3, after the 10:30 Mass. This is a free of charge fun raising event which has proven to be very popular. 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.
Fr. Armand
