The Martha Guild needs your help –

It’s been a year since Holy Redeemer Parish came into being and with this amalgamation the number of parishioners increased, resulting in an increase in attendance at various events. It is wonderful to see so many participating but we did not gain an increase in our volunteers. We need your help, male or female, in a number of areas:

Martha Guild – Bingo, Parish events (Receptions/dinners, Victoria Day Flea Market, Bake Sales, Easter events, Parish Fun Day)

Bereavement Committee – Making sandwiches and serving at funeral receptions.

If you are willing to help in any of these areas please contact:

Louise O’Connor (648-9059 or fegan@nbnet.nb.ca)
Donna Lewell (658-1568 or 645-9990 or dlewell@nbnet.nb.ca)

There will be a Martha Guild member downstairs at the Fun Day to answer any questions; and next weekend there will be a sign-up sheet at all entrances for anyone who is able to volunteer.

Thanking you in advance for your support.

This Sunday, October 20, is World Mission Sunday and Pope Francis invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection to help missionaries. Your donations will support churches, hospitals, schools and religious Brothers and Sisters in Asia, Africa, Latin America and some of our Canadian dioceses. For those who do not use envelopes, special yellow envelopes are available at all entrances. There are also prayer calendars on the entrance tables for you to take home.

This weekend is your last chance to get a ticket!

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Christian Riesbeck, C.C. as the new Bishop of the Diocese of Saint John.

Holy Redeemer Mass Schedule for October 14 – 20.

The North End Food Bank is running low on baby food. If you can donate, items can be brought to the church and left inside one of the entrances.

A small box of items found in the church, including medals, earrings, eyeglasses, etc., has been placed on the table at the parking lot side entrance of the church. Check it out to see if anything’s familiar to you.

October is the month of the Rosary. Blessed rosaries and pamphlets are available for everyone at all entrances to the church.

The Legion of Mary holds weekly meetings at 10:30 am on Thursday mornings in the parish hall. All are welcome to join them for the Rosary.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the Holy Redeemer CWL will hold their monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 15, at 2 pm, in the parish hall. All ladies are welcome.
