From Our Pastor
My dear friends in Christ,
This Sunday we celebrate the First Holy Communion of 16 of our young children. It is a wonderful time in their lives as they receive our Lord for the first time. We are privileged to have 10 girls and 6 boys to receive this transforming grace through the Holy Eucharist. They have been well prepared for this day by their parents and their teacher - Julie Sutton, along with her assistant, Francie Doyle. We all remember quite well our First Holy Communion and how we celebrated with our families afterwards. Many of us still have our First Communion prayer books along with treasured memories. Let us pray for these First Communicants and their families on this holy day.
The theme this year for our Catholic Parish Campaign is “Together let us walk in faith and charity, ever trusting in the Lord’s mercy…..” As you know every parish has its source of income from the weekly collections, whereas the diocese receives its funding to operate from the Catholic Parish Campaign. Many wonderful services are provided to us from the CPC which are administered through the Catholic Center. The bill for our parish this year is $157,142.00 and we ask each family to contribute $350.00 which is based on the number of those who gave $50 or more last year to the parish (458), divided into the total bill. If you are in the position to do so, please go over and beyond that amount as many of you have in the past. All checks are to be made payable to the Catholic Parish Campaign. Any funds that are raised over and beyond the required amount will stay in the parish. I appreciate very much your ongoing support and generosity.
May the Lord bless and keep you,
Father Walker.
