CYO

If any of our CYO are interested in softball, there will be a CYO coed softball tournament (just for fun) sponsored by St. Jude’s in Pearl (Fr. Ruane’s former parish) on June 9th.  It would be nice to participate if we have enough players interested to make a team, and some adults to work with them.  Also, if any adults could volunteer and help umpire (slow pitch, don’t have to be certified) it would help greatly with the cost.  Contact the rectory for more details, teams need to register by May 1.

 

THANKS AGAIN

We are most grateful to all of those who made the Holy season of Lent what it is supposed to be about by participating in mass and the Way of the Cross.  Sincere gratitude also to those who participated in the ceremonies of holy week in any capacity - Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Mass Servers, ushers, the choir (which performed beautifully at the Saturday evening Easter vigil service), those who provided feet to be washed, everyone who helped with the Seder Supper, those responsible for the church grounds, and those who helped in cleaning, preparing and decorating the church so beautifully.  You are all greatly appreciated and may God bless each of you!
