This Week's Bulletin

               Week of May 4, 2008

GREETINGS FROM FR. BILL 

This weekend at the 11:30 Mass, we will celebrate First Communion for 26 of our youngsters.   Imagine how incredible this will be for them to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus for the very first time in their young lives.  What I will try to impress upon them during their First Communion Mass is that for the rest of their lives, they need never fear being totally alone.  In the Eucharist, Jesus is really and truly present to them and to us.  Perhaps this is a good opportunity for each of us to give thanks once again to the God who will never leave us orphaned.
 
Next Sunday is Mother's Day - that special day on which we honor our mothers, living and deceased.  On Mother's Day here at Sacred Heart, the Knights of Columbus will be serving up another great breakfast for us.  What's more - every mother in our parish can eat breakfast free next Sunday.  Rather than spending an arm and a leg at some restaurant, why not just eat here?  The meal will be great and the price is right.

An important reminder to those of you who have school-age children:  it is now time to register your children for next school year at Our Lady of the Valley School - our very own catholic school.  If you would like to get more information or just see what the school looks like, stop in any day this week and one of the staff will gladly show you around.  Even better, why not bring your child with you so he or she can see what a wonderful environment our school provides.  So many of you have supported our school by making our Dinner/Auction a success.  Now let's continue by enrolling your children for a superior education with truly catholic values.
 
I would like to encourage you to patronize the sponsors on the back of this bulletin who have made our bulletin possible.  Through their generosity we were able to print a full-color bulletin which is very attractive and hopefully, informative.  If you have need of the services they provide, please consider giving them your business
