Notes from Fr. Tim: |
1) Congratulations to Jack and Gail Souliere of Chapeau who celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this week. May God bless them with many more years of health and happiness together.
2) We’ve finished studying the Letter to James in our Bible Study class and are about to launch into a new book this coming week. Why not join us and learn more about what sacred scripture teaches? The group meets in St. Joseph’s on Thursdays at 7 pm. 3) The rescheduled Sheenboro Pastoral Council meeting will be held this Tuesday at 7 pm in the Chapeau office. Let’s pray that Mother Nature cooperates this week and the roads will be safe to travel. 4) The ‘Pivotal Players’ video series continues in St. Joseph’s this coming Friday following the 10 am mass. |
