Reception Volunteers Needed
Throughout the year at St. Bernard’s there are opportunities when we
should gather in fellowship & social celebration. Gatherings following
liturgies when people have become initiated into the faith through the
sacraments of First Eucharist & Confirmation, whether as children or
adults, & congratulating our graduates & wishing them well as they
move into the workforce or onto further education. Times when we offer our supportive
presence & hope such as the November mass for deceased parishioners & the mass for
anointing of the sick (we host this every 2 years) are an important part of how we live our
faith. We already have a group of dedicated volunteers who provide receptions for
funerals as well as the refreshments for weekly Circle of Friends. However, in order to
provide these other social times for the parish to share in the community spirit of the
church, help is needed. A group of volunteers would mean that the same people would
not have to serve at all events. What will you have to do? It isn’t difficult: set up cups,
saucers, glasses, serviettes, prepare tea/coffee(instruction will be given), put out the food
which will be made available, clean up following the event (instruction on how to use the
dishwasher will be provided). The custodian will do the floors. If you feel that you could
volunteer this service to the parish, please call the parish office @ 857-0425.
HOLY FAMILY SENIORS CLUB ANNUAL BAZAAR & BAKE
SALE: Sat., May 3rd the Holy Family seniors are holding their
annual bazaar & bake sale, 8 AM - 12 noon in the church hall. Many gently
used items including china, glassware, appliances, books, jewellery,
games, toys & other items, plus a wonderful assortment of baking will be
available. Come early for the best selection.
HIGHLIGHTING AT VISION BOOKSTORE THIS WEEK: In this time
when our liturgical life leads us to reflect on life from death we highlight
“Hope for the flowers”, words & pictures by Trina Paulus. The back
of the book says: "A different sort of book for everyone except those
who have given up completely". This is the tale of a caterpillar who
has trouble becoming what he really is. Sometimes life's challenges,
life's lessons, are better learned through story. We're never too old to
read a storybook. A timeless story that speaks of letting go, of death,
making way for new life. ($14) Information: www.visionbookstore.ca
(St. Augustine's Rectory, Tues.-Fri., 9 - 12 noon.)
