Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." - Jn 20:21-23

BISHOP’S APPEAL

The Appeal continues this week.  A very sincere thanks to everyone who made a pledge or gave an outright gift last weekend.  If you have taken an appeal envelope home, please return it as soon as possible.  We are preparing an appeal mailing this week in order to contact parishioners who have been away or for whatever reason could not be present in the church when the envelopes were handed out.  Once again we stress how important, how vital a successful appeal is for our diocese and parish.  We count on your generous pledge to meet our assessment.  All are asked to participate in helping the work of Christ in our area.  Soon we will be able to let you know how the Appeal is doing in our parish.

 

 

 

“500 CLUB” Congratulations to the winner for the week of 5/5/08 #411, Sue Guba!!

 

Thank you to all of our parishioners who supported our Silent Auction last weekend by your attendance and patron support. It was a wonderful evening of fun and friendship for all who attended.  Thank you to Ken Kienzle and his committee for all of the hours he and his committee put in to making the evening a huge success.  When we get the final tote we will let you know.

 

Openings are available in our 3 and 4 year old Nursery School Program and K-7.  Please call school if you are interested in enrolling a child or spread the good news to your family and friends.

 

CORPUS CHRISTI

Sunday, May 25^th is the Feast of Corpus Christi – the Body and Blood of Christ.  Customarily on that day Ministers of the Eucharist are recommissioned for service in our church for the coming year.  We will do so again this year at all Masses.

We need more ministers!  Over the past several years some of our ministers who have served us faithfully for many years have moved away or cannot serve because of disability or for other reasons.  We have many people attending Mass who could easily offer to serve.  It is not difficult and is an excellent way of fulfilling, in part, our baptismal call to serve.  Please think about this, and pray about it.  Your assistance is really needed.  The ministers we have are not many and are scheduled very frequently.  Please let us know by calling the parish office at 489-8197 or by seeing the pastor at any Mass.  We hope you will come forward to this important ministry.

 

LECTORS

As is the case with the Ministers of the Eucharist, we are in need of more lectors for service at the weekend Masses.  Again, this is not difficult and is an important part of the liturgy.  To proclaim the Word of God is a privilege, and we have many parishioners who would be very able to do it.  Please consider participating.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.  Call the parish office of speak to the pastor after any Mass.

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH CLUB

It’s back for a second season!  Come join each other for company and lunch for the months of May, June, July, and August at 1:00 P.M. on the LAST WEDNESDAY of each month at various local restaurants.  As usual, there will be separate checks, reasonable prices, and ordering from the menu.

The first lunch is on Wednesday, May 28^th at 1:00 P.M.  at  Normanside Country Club, 150 Salisbury Road, Delmar.  Please call  Mary Horan (438-7481) by Wednesday, May 21^st  (so we can let the restaurant know approximate numbers). 

Directions: Go out Delaware Ave. to 3 streets past Delaware Plaza.  Turn right onto Salisbury Road.  Normanside Country Club is at the end of Salisbury Road.                     All are invited. 

 

 

Congratulations: Our congratulations to the young men and women who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last Tuesday evening.
