The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 18 will gather to remember the Battle of
the Atlantic. All members of our town are invited to attend and take time

Welcome To The Lord's Table
Our parish extends a warm welcome to: Farzeine Michael Maloney and Thomas
Bartlett who are coming to the Lord's table for the first time. May the
Lord bless you on this special day and may you and your family know the
great love God has for you.
Archbishop ‘s Pastoral Visit
Due to the strike, it was not possible for the archbishop to visit our
parish to celebrate the sacrament of confirmation. He regrets not being
able to visit but he will make a pastoral visit to our parish on Saturday,
May 15th for the 5:00 p.m. mass. I encourage as many parishioners as
possible to gather for this celebration. It is important for us to remind
the bishop by our presence at church that we value our church and we are
in strong support of maintaining our church and clergy in our parish. I
also encourage our youth to attend mass and together celebrate our faith
with the Chief Shepard of our archdiocese, the Most Reverend Brendan O'
Brien.
Rosary Celebration
The Knights of Columbus of St. John's and the surrounding areas invite the
general public to join them for a Rosary celebration and a candlelight
procession that will take place at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist,
Friday, May 7, 2004 at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome.
Congratulations
Our parish extends congratulations and blessings to our newly confirmed. I
wish to thank all who participated in the celebration of the sacrament of
confirmation this past week and to all who helped with the many
decorations of the church and parish hall. I am also very thankful to all
who helped make our liturgy one of praise and celebration. I encourage all
our newly confirmed to participate in our weekly Sunday liturgy and to
become active members of our faith community. To all our newly confirmed,
I ask that you gather at the church for Saturday mass on May 15th so that
you may have the opportunity to meet the archbishop.
Adult Choir
All members of our choir are asked to gather for a practice on Tuesday
evening at 7:30 p.m. It is important for our choir to have a regular
practice as we try to become more familiar with our new hymn books. Please
make a special effort to attend.
