ALL PARISHIONERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND AND SUPPORT OUR YOUTH AT THESE CELEBRATIONS
Reception Volunteers Needed
Throughout the year at St. Bernard’s there are opportunities when we should gather in fellowship & social celebration. Gatherings following liturgies when people have become initiated into the faith through the sacraments of First Eucharist & Confirmation, whether as children or adults, & congratulating our graduates & wishing them well as they move into the workforce or onto further education. Times when we offer our supportive presence & hope such as the November mass for deceased parishioners & the mass for anointing of the sick (we host this every 2 years) are an important part of how we live our faith. We already have a group of dedicated volunteers who provide receptions for funerals as well as the refreshments for weekly Circle of Friends. However, in order to provide these other social times for the parish to share in the community spirit of the church, help is needed. A group of volunteers would mean that the same people would not have to serve at all events. What will you have to do? It isn’t difficult: set up cups, saucers, glasses, serviettes, prepare tea/coffee(instruction will be given), put out the food which will be made available, clean up following the event (instruction on how to use the dishwasher will be provided). The custodian will do the floors. If you feel that you could volunteer this service to the parish, please call the parish office @ 857-0425.
HOLY FAMILY SENIORS CLUB ANNUAL BAZAAR & BAKE SALE: Sat., May 3rd the Holy family seniors are holding their annual bazaar bake sale, 8 AM - 12 noon in the church hall.
