Visitation of Sick/Shut In's
On Friday of this week, we will visit the sick and the shut in's of the
parish. If you are not home on this day, please call the office. If you or
a member of your family is unable to attend mass due to senior age or
sickness, please let us know if you wish to receive Eucharist on the first
Friday of each month.
Financial Statement 2004
The financial report for the year 2004 is available at the back of the
church. It is a very positive report and I am thankful to all who have
supported the parish in the past year. I remind all parishioners that it
is your responsibility to contribute to our parish and to give generously.
I know that some of our parishioners who gave generously in the past have
changed residence and moved from the Island or else have died. In such
instances, it is a reality that we will miss their absence in our parish
as well as their financial support. Therefore, I ask all to consider to be
faithful in your weekly collection. For example, last weekend due to poor
weather, we cancelled mass and thus our collection was missed. I hope that
when we cancel mass due to poor weather or if you are away for a weekend
that you remember to give your offering the following weekend. Thanks for
your support.
