The Catholic Service Appeal… The second offering this weekend is for the Catholic Service Appeal. As you may know a big part of the money collected in this offering is for the support and for the work of Catholic Charities in our Diocese and a big part of their work is for the protection of Children [anti-abortion].

CONFIRMATION… We will have a mandatory Confirmation Retreat on May the 13^th

RETREAT [The most satisfactory date] we are aware that there are all kinds of

competing activities this time of year, but I am asking you to please give priority to this Retreat,

which will begin at 3:30pm and will be followed by a hamburger supper 6:00 – 6:30. We would

like to have parents and sponsors present for the supper.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES… Congratulations to our High School graduates on this

important milestone in their lives and they are; Ann Elizabeth Walker, Ben Stewart, Phillip Geiger,

Adam Liberto, Mathew Mumme and Jesus’ Martinez, we will recognized them at Mass next Sunday.

We would like them to come in the Entrance Procession with Father Ruane and the Mass

Servers, and sit in the front pews. If we have omitted any senior we are sorry and you are

most welcome to join us.

MORE AWARDS…Apologies to Phillip Geiger who also received an academic award from Grenada High School.

1^ST HOLY COMMUNION… One of the more beautiful days in our church year is the

Sunday when our little ones makes their 1^st Holy Communion. It is also a very happy day for

Their parents and the rest of the church family. Our children making their 1^st Holy Communion

are; Summer Lee, Cislee Trost, Angela Badome, Hayden Beck, Brooklyn Willie, Brandon Mardis,

Kezia Stuebben, Olivianne Mardis. May God Bless all on this special day.

MAY CROWNING… Since our people do not respond too well to a special service

in her honor we will have the crowning after Mass on the 17th. The crown will be placed

on our Blessed Mother by one of our 1st Communion children, the name to be drawn from

a hat, details later.

CHOOSE LIFE… “Assisted suicide sends a message to the terminally ill that caring for them is a waste of time, that their lives are no longer worth living and that they are better off dead.” (Anthony Ozimic, Political secretary of England’s Society for the protection of Unborn Children, NRL News, 1/09)
