FIRST COMMUNION SUNDAY: The celebration of First Holy Communion will be held at Mass on Sunday, April 28th at St. Marguerite School.
BULLETIN CHANGE: Please take note that effective this bulletin, bulletins will go back to every two weeks as long as we are at St. Marguerite School. During the move we will not be taking our big printer/photocopier down into the rectory basement. We will be managing with a small home printer; therefore, printing bulletins every week will be more difficult that normal. Also, during July and August there will only be one bulletin per month as usual.
ROOF UPDATE – the final structural drawings have been completed and sent to the Archdiocese for their final approval. The Development Permit from the Town of Innisfail has been applied for and tendering for the contracts has gone out with a closing date of April 30, 2019. We expect to get interior design drawings for everyone to view and comment on in the not too distant future. A firm price has yet to come out for the construction – this of course, will come after the closing date of tenders; however, we are hopeful it will still be within the ballpark budget of $600,000. Continued prayers are needed for this huge project!
This is our last Sunday in the church prior to starting to clear the church for the construction. As a result of the fire in December, structurally we are only authorized to be in the church until May 1. The church will be completely cleared and all items will be moved to the hall. The parish office will be moved from the church, back into the basement of the Rectory. The kitchen also needs to be completely cleared and items moved downstairs into storage. This is a huge project that will take place April 23, 24, 25, and 26. All hands on-deck are needed - men, women, youth, anyone that is available. MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK! If you are available to help in anyway please see Patrick Doll. You can also leave your name and phone number with the Parish Office.
Starting Sunday, April 28 all masses will be held at St. Marguerite School gym. Please come early Saturdays to set up chairs for mass. Also help is need to put chairs away Sundays after mass.
GO FUND ME: There will be several fundraising events in the future for the roof project, but what is great about Go Fund Me, is that is it ongoing and can be spread quickly through social media or anyone who has access to internet. It is a simple way of sharing our story and asking for financial support, through a safe, free online charity platform. For those of you wondering - yes this is a legitimate way to donate, and yes tax receipts are issued online.
