Dear Friends in Christ,The Catholic Church in the United States is like a bright mosaic made up of piece of unequal size. We are a community that is rich and poor, urban and rural, powerful and fragile. Our faith binds us together but so do the bonds of charity. In our country, approximately 82 diocese simply are unable to provide most basic pastoral ministries for their people without outside funding. All of these poor U.S. Diocese have major needs for parish support, evangelization, religious education, campus ministry, seminary training, ethnic ministries and youth and lay ministry programs. On the weekend of April 27-28 the collection for the Catholic Home Missions Appeal will be taken up throughout the Archdiocese, and I encourage you to be generous to this appeal which supports people in so many poor, remote and rural parts of the United States. I am deeply grateful for this support. Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Justin Rigali The school received a grant from the Archdiocese to install a new environmental system that involves, both heating and cooling. We no longer have to rely on the gas furnace nor the 8 new window units donated last year so we have a great deal for you. We have 8 Whirlpool with a brand name of Cosley. They are 18 tons AC unit, which required 220 hook-up that retailed last year at Walmart for $438.00. We would like to get at least $300.00 per unit. Please call the rectory to get yours. This is a first come first serve basis. You do not have to be a parishioner to purchase one. Fr. John KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS WHOLE HOG SAUSAGE DINNER Sunday, April 28,
