FOR THE ALTAR Now
that spring has sprung and gardens are starting to yield, donations of flowers
from your gardens would be greatly appreciated. Just leave them in the buckets inside the Fuller St. entrance
and they will be added to the arrangements that grace the sanctuary on the
weekends. Even bring the cuttings
left when you trim deciduous hedges as they would be very useful as greenery
in arrangements. EXTRA

THE BIBLE, THROUGH THE
EYES OF A CHILD
Noah The next important person
was Noah. He was a really good guy, but one of his kids was a Ham. Noah built
a big boat in his back yard and put his family and a lot of animals in it. He
asked his neighbours to join them, but they said they would have to take a
rain check. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph Next were Abraham, his son
Isaac and his grandson Jacob. Esau was Jacob's brother, but Jacob was more
famous because Esau sold him his birthmark for some pot roast. Jacob had a
son, Joseph. Joseph wore a really loud sports coat. Moses Moses was the next
important man. His real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel lights
out of Egypt because of the bad Pharaoh. God sent ten plagues on the
Egyptians. Some of the plagues were mice, frogs, bugs, lice and no cable. Every day in the desert,
God fed the Israel lights some manicotti. He gave them His "Top Ten"
commandments. They were things like: don't lie, don't cheat, don't dance,
don't smoke, don't covet your neighbour’s stuff (whatever that means). He
also told them to humour their fathers and mothers. NO
SUNDAY HOLY HOURS DURING SUMMER Due to warmer temperatures

NEWS We have awarded the
contract for renovations to the Main Entrance and confessionals to John
Leinemann. An application for a
building permit will be made in the coming week and construction will start by
mid-June. A number of things have
gone in our favour thus far. There
seems to to be enough power to accommodate a space heater in the new
confessionals and a couple of baseboard heaters in the expanded entranceway.
Test holes have also been drilled into the concrete to ensure we do not
have to pour new footings to support the added weight of the choir loft. The contract price comes
in under $35,000. This does not
include soundproofing doors for the new entranceway, the new sides and the two
confessionals. Nor does it
include new light fixtures, heaters and other incidentals.
We are expecting an overall bill for $50,000 when everything is done.
This money will be taken out of our Special Building fund that was
collected for renovations. Weekday Masses will be
held in the Parish Hall during the height of construction. BAZAAR

people to drop off gently used articles for the different sections of the
