| Notes from Fr. Tim |
| 1) Thank you to everyone who participated in the parish meeting in Sheenboro last Saturday after mass. Among the lessons I learned was that I was mistaken in my belief that St. Paul the Hermit only paid 10% of staff salaries. The correct number was 25%. This fact was announced at each of the other masses last weekend. I look forward to working with the parishioners of all three parishes as we work towards the goal of increasing revenues across the board. Please remember these two basic facts: 1) all three churches need to increase their revenues, and 2) if everyone currently contributing would put at least $20 a week in the collection basket, we would have more than enough to pay all our regular expenses.
2) The date for Confirmation has been set. It will be celebrated in Chapeau on June 11, 2017 at the 10:30 am mass. 3) The date for this year’s First Communion Sunday is May 28, 2017. First Confessions will be heard at 11 am in Chapeau the day before (May 27th). 4) Our bible study group continues on Thursday evenings at 7 pm. in the St. Joseph’s rectory. Since our group continues to grow we will soon be moving our meetings into the Sacristy, hopefully by the end of March. 5) Work is continuing on the side entrance project in Chapeau. This coming week should see the start of the drywall installation. We also received some great news from our Federal M.P. (Will Amos). Watch for more details in the coming weeks. Once the work is finally completed, our office hours will be as follows: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (9 am to 4 pm) in Chapeau; Thursday (9 am to 4 pm) and Friday (9 am to 3 pm) in St. Joseph’s. Appointments with me can be arranged outside of office hours in either place. 6) Don’t forget that Lent begins this week with the celebrations of Ash Wednesday in each of our three churches. The schedule is posted on the page opposite. This is a day of fast and abstinence for Catholics between the ages of 8 and 65 years old. |
