Our parish extends congratulation to the children of our parish who have
completed the year 1 Home Religion Program. We offer our blessing to:
Kolton Bennett, Breanna Bickford, Cassandra Dunne, Celeste Dunne and Kayla
Ford. I wish to thank the parents and guardians for their support and love
for their children in the ways of the faith.
In Memorial
Sincere thanks to Mr. & Mrs Gerald Pearson who donated $500.00 to
purchase new candles for the altar. These candles are oil candles and will
be placed near the altar in memory of their son Jude Pearson who was
tragically killed six years ago this past week on Thursday, April 28th.
Also the candles are in memory of Albert & Frances Haley and John
& Catherine Delahunty. The candles have been ordered and they will
arrive very soon.

Popes Pastoral Works: May 1st
A Disastrous flood or earthquake strikes a nation at the other end of the
world. Immediately many countries rush in food, medicine, blankets, money,
and trained people. Prominent among such aid is the financial help offered
by the Holy Father to people in need. In the name of Catholics everywhere,
he displays Christ's love and compassion to those who suffer. Canada has
been consistent on giving such funds to the Holy See, enabling the pope to
be even more generous in times of disaster. Each year at this time,
Canadian Catholics are asked to give generously to this papal collection,
which is passed on to the Holy Father for his use among those stricken by
natural disasters. Those who are generous in their response to Christ's
appeal for his needy brothers and sisters will someday hear his words:
Come, you whom my Father has blessed. Come into the Kingdom prepared for
you, for I was hungry and thirsty, I was in need of clothing, shelter,
medicine,
and you helped me. As often as you did it for these, the least of my
sisters and brothers, you did it for me. (Mt. 25.34-40)
