We are pleased to announce that between the Chocolate Bar Bingo and the Silent Auction, the Religious Education program was able to raise the amount of $1,137.90. The entire amount will be given to the North End Food Bank. We are very proud of our students and teachers as they reach out to the community, with their “Maggie Nugent” cereal drive in February (for the St. Francis-Hazen White school breakfast program) and now for the North End Food Bank. Congratulations for jobs well done!

There are sign-up sheets at all entrances for those who would like to help provide sandwiches for the reception after next weekend’s First Communion.

Reminder: There will be a mini retreat held tomorrow, Saturday, April 27, 9am – 10:30am, for children in the Grade 2 religious education class who are preparing to celebrate their First Holy Communion.

The next Holy Redeemer Auction 45s Card Party will be held tonight, Friday, April 26, 7:30pm. Cost: $3/person. Games are held on the second and fourth Friday of each month. Everyone is welcome.

The CWL Closing Banquet will be held on Saturday, April 27, beginning with 4pm Mass, followed by a Turkey Dinner prepared by the Martha Guild. Cost: $15/person. All members will be contacted.

The last day of Religious Education classes will be this Sunday, April 28.

There will be no noon Mass today, Thursday, April 25, at Holy Redeemer.

During the month of April, the CWL have been working on their spring project “Women Helping Women – Code Red”. This will allow women, who may be homeless or living in poverty, to have free access to sanitary products. Personal period packs will be prepared and given to outreach facilities in the city for distribution. There is still time for you to make a donation of pads, tampons or wet wipes. Your help would be appreciated, and donation boxes are located at all entrances.

Both the parish office and the church will be closed on Monday, April 22.

Join us on Easter Sunday.
