This weekend is the last weekend that Roger Richard will be leading the music ministry at the parish’s 6:00 pm Mass. As the 6:00 pm Mass will be cancelled during the summer, when we return in September, Roger will be starting at a parish closer to where he works. Roger is a high school chaplain and has been asked to start a music ministry at a parish near the high school he works at. This will allow him to work with some of the young people from his school. The parish is very grateful to Roger for his gift of service to the parish. Please wish Roger well and pray for him. Thank you very much Roger!!!!!
Today we honour mothers. We take time to celebrate our mothers and the many maternal figures in our lives. We are grateful for the gift of their love, care and nurturing, not only today, but always. We also remember the mothers who are no longer with us, but whose memories we will always cherish. Happy Mother’s Day!
