Holy Apostle
Paul, help me at the beginning of this new day to offer my body and the
whole of my life as a living sacrifice to God. Do not permit me
to conform myself to this age but rather, by your intercession, may I
be transformed by the renewal of my mind. Through this renewal
help me to judge what is God’s will, what is good, pleasing, and
perfect. For the one whom I seek and serve is who is the Lord,
Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen

All children from k – 10 must register for
Religious Education each year. The registration does not
roll over from one year to the next. We will be mailing a
registration form through e-mail in the near future. If you have
not received a form by mid-August it is because we do not have your
e-mail address or perhaps you are not yet registered in the parish so
we do not have any pertinent information related to you family.
You can call the office between Monday –Thursday at 483-8481 to update
your e-mail info or you can pick up a registration in the entrance of
the church.
Grades K- 3 The children in
grades K – 3 attend classes during the weekend liturgies. We use
a Lectionary Catechesis which is based on the Gospel of the week.
Kindergarten students are not obliged to attend regularly. However
beginning with grade 1, students must attend classes on a weekly basis
during the Mass, as the program for 1st Communion is a two year
program. The program for the school year 2009-2010
will begin on the weekend of September 19th and 20th.
Classes are held during both weekend Masses. We would need some
volunteers to help out as monitors during the classes. Please
contact the office if you can do this.
Grades 4 – 10 +, Generation of Faith
This program is designed for both parents and
children. Parents who have children in grades 4 - 10 are
asked to attend these monthly sessions. The adult session gives them an
opportunity to refresh their memory on important matters of the faith
as well as giving them the chance to share with other adults on
pertinent issues of faith. All GoF classes
are held on Sundays from 4 – 6 pm. See you all next fall.
Confirmation Program:
The Confirmation students will begin their two year
program on Sunday, October 5, 2008. Classes are held
from 11:00 am to 12 noon. Students must be registered in the
program and must be registered members of the parish. If you have
not yet registered your child for classes please call the office to
speak to Lorette.
Schedule
of Classes

7th Sunday of Easter
Theme: (United in Christ)
Reading I: Acts 1: 15-17, 20-26 (Matthias is
Chosen
Reading II: 1 John 4: 11-16 (Remain is Love)
Gospel: John 17: 11-19(That They May Be One)
Question
for Adults:
What words from this prayer bring me to a fuller understanding of the
Eucharist?
The prayer they are referring to is the prayer Jesus prayed in the
Gospel, i.e. Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so
that they may be one just as we are one. . . Very often we go up
to the Communion table and receive the Body of Christ but we forget
what the meaning and purpose of the act really means. The prayer
we find in John 17:11-19 give us a good idea of the meaning of
Eucharist. Why not take some time this week to reread the prayer
and to reflect on those words that stand out for you in relation to the
meaning of Eucharist.
Question
for Children:
How can I be of service to others, following the example of Jesus?
This is a great question for discussion with children. Service to
others is one of the key factors of our faith. It is very
important that children come to a clear understanding of this part of
Jesus’ teachings. Take a little time to discuss the idea of
service and brainstorm some things they can do to live it
Food Pantry for May:
Please help our pantry if you can. Your generosity is
always greatly appreciated. This month our pantry shelves
continue to be in need of Canned Fruit, Instant
Rice, Dessert Mixes, Canned Pastas, and Evaporated Milk
. We always need juices. Thank you very much
for all you do for God’s people.
A
Look at Upcoming Events

Soles4Souls on Barefoot Sunday
Soles4Souls is planning the 2nd
annual celebration with thousands of congregations across the country.
They have a simple mission – to collect new and “gently worn’ shoes to
donate to victims of natural disasters and those living in extreme
poverty. One of the core groups that help transform its mission
from a simple idea into a living example of God’s love is the church.
Last year, hundreds of congregations across North America participated
in “Barefoot Sunday,” where people left their shoes on the altar to be
donated to the poor. Barefoot Sunday is a unique opportunity for
people to remove their shoes and walk out of worship services barefoot.
“Barefoot Sunday will be on June 7, 2009.
