Home Religion Program
Last Saturday we held meetings for the Home Religion Program and we had a
very poor attendance and many have said that they did not hear about the
meetings . Perhaps with all the activity at the school it is very easy not
to hear the announcement in the school concerning the time and date of the
meeting. It was a very important meeting and the themes for the Lenten
season for years 1, 2 , and 3 were passed out. The programs are available at
the church and you are asked to pick them up at church during the coming
weekdays or weekend. (Before and after mass)
St. Patrick’s Day/Weekend
The many events are scheduled for the St . Patrick’s Day Weekend.
Card Game: Wednesday, March 15th
Bingo: Friday, March 17th
Irish Stew Supper & Pub Night: Saturday, March 18th
Concert: Sunday, March 19th
All plans are in progress and we ask for your support. Any donation of
cookies or rolls towards the Irish Stew supper would be greatly appreciated.
Parish Secretary
During the past week representatives of our parish council interviewed seven
candidates for the position of part time secretary for our parish. As you
know Jody (our present secretary) has gained full time employment. It was a
very difficult choice to select one from the seven applicants but in the end
the committee chose Mrs. Patricia King. Since the job is only for 9 hours
per week, the office hours will be Tuesday and Thursday : 12:30 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. The selection of the secretary was difficult and we congratulate and
thank all who had the interest to apply. As you know, Patricia is part time
at the hospital and therefore with the extra hours working for the parish,
she will have full time employment. Patricia will commence this job on
Tuesday, March 21st at 12:30 p.m. and this employment will be under review
in September. I trust that most will be happy with the selection .
Life Teen Retreat: Saturday, April 22nd
The youth of the archdiocese meet weekly in St John’s and they celebrate
mass, sing songs, participate in discussion groups concerning issues of the
church and have fun. The group is approximately 20 or so in number depending
on the week and they have a wonderful experience. The youth which are called
“ Life Teen” are coming to our parish for an evening of fun and prayer. They
will gather on Saturday, April 22nd and they will attend our evening mass.
During the mass they will provide and lead the music ministry and share in
the various ministries of the liturgy. They will stay at the hall overnight
along with chaperones and we will provide supper and breakfast. I invite the
youth of our parish to attend and join in the fun. If you wish to attend,
let us know. It can be great fun and I ask the youth to give serious
consideration and attend . For more information call the office.
Lenten Folders
Lenten folders are available at the entrances of our church. Lent is a time
for all of us to make our daily offering and consider supporting the needs
of our parish. Please encourage the kids to make their sacrifice and to
participate in the lenten offering.
Choir Practice
Choir members( new and old ) are asked to attend our weekly choir practice
as we prepare for the many liturgies of the Lenten and Easter season. The
dates for the choir practice are:
Sunday, March 12th at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 14th at 7:30 p.m.
Please make a special effort to attend.
