We salute the many volunteers and patrons of the bingo.
Volunteers Required
The Bell Island Alternative Measures program is currently looking for
volunteers. This program works with young people between the ages 12 and
18 years accused of their first time offence. It offers a positive way of
resolving the problem without using the court system For more information
call Lori Hann 488 - 2708.

officially as altar servers for our parish. We thank the youth who serve
at the altar and we appreciate the invaluable ministry they provide. We
encourage other youth to join the ministry of altar server.
Rally for Peace in Iraq
A rally for Peace will be held on Saturday, February 15th at 2:00 p.m. in
front of City Hall, St John's to promote Peace and reject War. All are
invited.
World Day of Prayer for the Sick: Tuesday, February 11th
On Tuesday, February 11th we will celebrate the World Day of Prayer for
the Sick. The ministry to the sick is central to the life of the church.
This day of prayer reminds us of the service to the sick and suffering
cannot be neglected. It recognizes the great efforts of doctors, nurses,
health care givers to restore health to all who are afflicted with illness
and disease.
If you wish to celebrate the rite of anointing to be renewed and
strengthened in your health, pease join us for our liturgy on Tuesday
evening at 7:00 p.m. During this liturgy we will celebrate the rite of
anointing and pray for all our sick and elderly.
Renewal of Marriage Vows
On Friday, February 14th we celebrate Valentine's Day. This is a day to
renew our love for each other and in a special way a time to renew vows to
married life. During the weekend of February 15th and 16th, you are
invited to renew your marriage vows. If you are interested in sharing in
this renewal of vows, please call the office and we will be delighted to
celebrate it with you at our weekend masses. It may be considered "
not the thing to do" to renew your marriage vows but I believe it can
be a great witness to others to appreciate and respect the sacrament of
marriage.
Just a Thought
Please continue to help with the church cleaning. We are in need of extra
volunteers. Please call the office and offer your help. It only takes two
hours of your time once every month.
