You can still purchase your ticket for the Concert today after the Mass behind the Church. Thank you for supporting us.
 
Our International Festival will be on May 31st, June 1st and 2nd . We have pre-ride tickets available today after the Masses and will have them for the next few weeks. Raffle tickets will also be available. Please take a book and sell them to help us reach our goal.
 
There are some interesting workshops, retreats and events happening around us in the coming weeks and months. Please take a bulletin and read about them. There is so much wealth out there for you to learn and broaden your faith. I hope you take advantage of it.

APRIL 13TH-14TH

We have the possibility of starting a food program for senior citizens. Gloria is outside of Church today with flyers about it. If you are in this wonderful group, Spanish and English speaking please stop and get a flyer. We need at least 250 people signed up in order for the deliveries to happen.
 
The Parish Festival is fast approaching and we need volunteers. Would you like to help recruit and signup volunteers and donors for the festival? This would only take 10 to 15 minutes after mass.
If you are interested in helping, please see Gloria Walker after mass.
 
This week's bulletin has the dates of some upcoming events. Please take one and note these future dates for reference.
 
Concert tickets are on sale after all Masses today. The proceeds from this fundraiser will help us get the parking lot re-paved, so bring all those friends and family to the concert.
 
We will have a speaker from Concern America next week. There is a write up on this organization in the bulletin today.
 
Thank you to all the catechists who have worked so hard this year preparing our children for First Communion and Confirmation. These Sacraments will be given during the month of May. Please keep the young people in your prayers and thank you again to all who have given of their time and talent to help prepare them.
