Creation

In the beginning, which was close to the start, there wasn't anything except God, darkness and some gas. The Bible says, "The Lord, thy God, is one," but I think He has to be much older than that.

Anyway, God made the world and then He said, "Give me some light," and somebody gave it to Him. He split an atom and made Eve. Adam and Eve didn't wear any clothes, but they weren't embarrassed because God hadn't invented mirrors, yet.

Adam and Eve sinned by eating one bad apple and they were driven out of the Garden of Eden. I'm not sure what God drove them in because He hadn't invented cars, either.

Adam and Eve's son, Cain, hated his brother as long as he was Abel. After a while, all of the first people died, except Methuselah, who lived to be, like, a million years old.

The Cathedral of Mary Immaculate Parish, in Nelson BC, is seeking a Pastoral Assistant.  Applicant must have extensive pastoral ministry experience.  A commitment to developing and supporting programs for all ages, especially youth and young adults, is essential.  Strength in collaboration, ability to lead groups and effective communication is required.  Applicant must have a degree in Religious Education, Pastoral Ministry or closely related field.  For more information, please contact Father Jim Ratcliffe, fatherjim@shaw.ca.  Submit application by June 11, 2010 to reccathedral@shaw.ca or Cathedral of Mary Immaculate, 813 Ward Street, Nelson, BC, V1L 1T4.

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.
