SUNDAY SMILE

Three young boys were walking on the sidewalk arguing over whose daddy was the greatest. One said, "My dad is the greatest because he is the president of the town bank." The second boy said, "That is pretty good, but my daddy owns two grocery stores in town!" The third boy said, "That's nothing, my dad is a preacher, and he owns hell. He came home last night and told my mom that the Church Board gave it to him!" 

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK

Adults: Whom are you shepherding in your life right now, and who shepherds you?

Children:   Who has been like a shepherd to you by their example? For whom could you be a shepherd?

Next week our second collection is for Parish Maintenance Fund.  Thank you!

Bible Study is Wednesday, May 1st at 6:30 pm

Faith Formation

FINAL CLASS 

We are now winding down to the end of another year of religious education for the young people of our parish family.  We are very grateful for the leadership and hard work of our Coordinators, Jean Radican & Nancy Riccitelli who, together with our fine Catechists, have completed another great season of CCD.   We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the dedicated catechists who came forward this year to be stewards and to share their faith with the youth of our parish.   Carmella Emerson, Cathy Scotto, Michele Murphy, Donna Fossa, Ernestine Vota, Pam St. John and Cynthia Florio.  We could not have done it without them. Thank you and God bless.
