OGŁOSZENIA / ANNOUNCEMENTS

FATHER RICH REPORTS:

Niech Bedzie Pochwalony Jezus Chrytsus! Praise be Jesus Christ!

The Easter season comes to a close today as we celebrate the great day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and Mary. This happened during a Jewish festival that brought many peoples from all over the Mediterranean world to Jerusalem. It was the birthday of the Church as bold spirit-filled preaching and witnessing brought many converts to believe in Jesus as the Messiah risen from the dead. In Polish the feast is known as “Zielone Swiat”  which means the green holyday as this time of the year all of nature (trees and lawns) turn green and branches are used to decorate the entrance of churches.

The family of Dawn Marie Wadden  (husband -James, Mother-Shirley and her brother and sisters) wish to thank all who participated in her funeral and

showed their sympathy through words, cards, Mass offerings and  memorial gifts.

Our parish family was also saddened to learn that Josephine O’Sullivan (Stryczek-Strickey) passed away in Dartmouth. She was born and raised in our parish and the Pier until she went away for studies, married and lived in Toronto and later in Dartmouth. She was a benefactor of our parish. I was privileged to have the final committal prayers at Resurrection Cemetery in Sydney Forks. Światłość Wiekuista Niechaj Jej Świeci na wieki wieków Amen!

Polish Class for travellers will begin Sunday, June 25th after the 10:00 am Mass. Edyta Bączyk will be the instructor.
