Prayer for Vocations Loving God, You speak to us and nourish us through the life of this church community. In the name of Jesus, we ask you to send your Spirit to us so that men and women among us, young and old, will respond to your call to service and leadership in the church. We pray, especially, in our day, for those who hear your invitation to be a priest, sister, brother, or deacon. May those who are opening their hearts and minds to your call be encouraged and strengthened through our enthusiasm in your service. Amen

Prayer Line Contact for April & May: Jim Beyette, 613-389-1372. Email: beyette@kingston.net Holy Communion to those in the Parish who are not well enough to come to Sunday Mass, please contact Carol Young: 613-389-6306. WANTED: Volunteers for Parish Grounds Cleanup This Sat. May 2, we have our annual spring cleanup of the Parish grounds. Please join us between 9 a.m. and noon. Bring a rake and a smile and let’s get the grounds ready for the warm weather ahead. For those parishioners who cannot come on Saturday, how about coming for an hour during the week … pick out an area on the lawn … rake the debris into piles … we’ll bag and take that material to recycling. Your Property Committee
First Quarter Financial Summary 1. General first quarter Revenues 2. Capital Revenue 3. General first quarter Expenses 4. Surplus
$71,486.52 $ 8,196.00 $74,345.38 $ 5,337.14
The first quarter is very close to budget expected for the general receipts and expenditures, and while the Capital Building fund is slightly lower these funds are not normally received evenly over the 4 quarters and as such we are confident in reaching all our goals especially considering the sold out Titanic fund raiser in May. Examples of actual 1st quarter costs include $4,232.96 for snow removal and $7,729.01 for utilities. The last two winters have been very difficult for us and we appreciate the parishioners who have stepped up to our needs in meeting these additional expenditures. “We thank you for your continued support of the parish’s financial health.
Knights of Columbus Council 7224 will be present at the 9:30
AM Mass on May 3rd to celebrate their Corporate Communion. This is an opportunity for our parish community to see who the Knights are as individuals, along with their families. If any men 18 years old and up would be interested in joining the Knights of Columbus, members will happily discuss this with those men after Mass. Thank you and God Bless our Parish home.
