CHRIST IS RISEN. ALLELUIA!

This Easter Sunday we celebrate the joy of the risen Christ. ShareLife agencies continue to bring joy to our community through the Society of Sharing which offers friendly visits to lonely, isolated, frail, elderly or disabled people.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP!

Vivian Ng has been the Program Coordinator of our Children’s Faith Program for the past 7 years. She has done an outstanding job and on behalf of the students and parents of our Children’s Faith Program, I want to thank her. Vivian is retiring at the end of this school year. We are in need of a replacement. Our Children’s Faith Program consists of about 20 classes, held at St. Gabriel’s School during the school year. The classes run from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM every other Sunday morning. We are hoping that some of the parents whose children benefit from this program will come forward to co-ordinate the program. If you are interested in helping, please call the parish office and we will send you a job description of what is involved. Please give this appeal serious consideration, especially if your child is in the Children’s Faith Program. Fr. Paul
