Special Meeting… Father Ruane
would like to meet with, all of our, young people 6th to 12th

Our Young People in the 12th grade. He will talk to them about
different topics, give them an opportunity to talk to him about whatever, and then we
would like to finish with hamburgers and hot dogs. This gathering will only be a success
if all of our parents cooperate.
Sharing Your Blessings … The Annual Catholic Service Appeal,
“Sharing Your Blessings,” supports many central ministries that help provide the
spiritual, educational and social needs of many within out diocese. Bishop Latino is
asking each parishioner to prayerfully consider your gift to the Catholic

May he rest in peace and may God Bless his family and friends.
Congratulations… to the newest member of our parish,

A Happy for the Children… We have planned an extra
Happy for our children. We began this a few years ago and it seemed to be tremendously
popular. In place of an Easter Egg Hunt we will be inviting all of our children
and their parents to gather in front of the Church on Easter morning after Mass. Among our
surprises will be a show of love for our children and their Bible School Teachers.
Annual Retreat…

Choose
Life… “Every child with Down
syndrome, every adult with special needs, in fact every unwanted, unborn child, every
person who is poor, weak, abandoned or homeless---each one of these persons is an icon
of God’s face and a vessel of His love.” (Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver, Oct 16 speech to Phoenix Catholic
Physicians’ Guild)
