GETTING TO KNOW ST. FRANCIS Snapshot 131– It has been said with pardonable
warmth that Francis entered into glory in his lifetime and that he is the one saint whom all
succeeding generations have agreed in canonizing.
SECULAR FRANCISCAN BAKE SALE – SUNDAY JUNE 8TH after 10:30 Mass. We are
making an appeal to the kindness of our parishioners to aid us by contributing whatever baked
goods you can, either before the Saturday or Sunday Mass (June 7/8). The more successful the
Bake Sale, the more we can help those in need. Thank you so much.
WE PRAY FOR THE DEAD AND THOSE WHO MOURN THEM :
THE SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE received a Thank You note from the Missionary
Sisters of the Assumption from Davao City in the Philippines for our donation of $500. which
were the proceeds from a Bake Sale held at our Fair Trade Fair in December. The money was
used to buy rice for the evacuees in their area after they were hit by another typhoon called
Agaton. Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, we are once again making a small
difference in the lives of people who are really in need.
THE COMUNIDAD LATINOAMERICANA DEL GRAN CHATEAUGUAY invite you
to a traditional Latino breakfast Sunday June 15 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The breakfast will take
place in the basement of the Ste-Marguerite d’Youville Church, 130 St. Jean Baptiste. Price
for the meal is $12. or $6. For kids 6 years and under. Profits will be dedicated towards
helping the Spanish speaking community in their services, particularly newcomers to
Chateauguay. Also the Community wants to maintain the possibility of religious education in
Spanish for the youth. Tickets are available with Fr. Marcelo or with Marcel (or Chin)
Beaudoin at 450-698-2331. Welcome to everyone.
