Please pray for our Good Shepherd, Archbishop Emilius Goulet, Bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Boniface.

MASS INTENTIONS

Please remember to offer Masses for your special intentions; especially your departed loved ones. Also, please pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in Canada.

We need to be close to Jesus Christ in his Eucharistic Sacrifice.

If you would like a Mass said, please see Father Joe.

Did you know that praying the Rosary in church, you gain a plenary indulgence? Check it out in the green books, pages 40-42.

Rejoice, Jesus Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

During the Easter season we say Queen of Hearts, page 83 instead of the Angelus. We will also meditate on the Glorious Mysteries on Mon., Wed. and Friday. On Thursday, we meditate on the mysteries of light to remind us Jesus among us.

You are invited to join us in praying the Rosary, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 7:40 a.m.

CONDOLENCES

We extend heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Barry and Maureen Titchkosky and family on the loss of Maurice Cyrille Devloo. In prayer, we petition:

Eternal rest grant unto Maurice Cyrille Devloo our friend, O God. And may perpetual light shine upon him.

Parish Council : Secretary Required

Parish Council is looking for a new secretary.  This position would start in September 2004.  Also, this position is not part of parish council so will be a non-voting member of council.  The secretary's responsibilities will include taking and circulating the minutes and any other clerical work necessary for the running of the Council.  Please contact Denis Magotiaux if you are interested in this position or if you have any questions please contact Linda Kirk, whose position you would be filling.

Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint.

May 1 St. Joseph the Worker

Apparently in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pius XII instituted the feast of St. Joseph the Worker in 1955. But the relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers has a longer history.

In a constantly necessary effort to keep Jesus from being removed from ordinary human life, the Church has from the beginning proudly emphasized that Jesus was a carpenter, obviously trained by Joseph in both the satisfactions and the drudgery of that vocation. Humanity is like God not only in thinking and loving, but also in creating. Whether we make a table or a cathedral, we are called to bear fruit with our hands and mind, ultimately for the building up of the Body of Christ.
