The week of May 13 – 18 we are holding a parish-wide Spring Cleaning Event of all the parish buildings: the two churches, St. Julie Hall and the Youth Center. We will need help with dusting, washing windows, walls and other light cleaning. We will provide all the cleaning supplies, we just need people willing to exert a little elbow grease! If you happen to be handy with power tools, we have ten curtain rods that need to be installed at St. Julie Hall after the windows are cleaned! If you can spare an hour or two, or perhaps a whole morning or afternoon, please call Paul at the office, ext. 104 to secure your spot. We appreciate all the help! Many hands make light work!

As a parish family, we enjoy fellowship in the Family Room downstairs at Saint Joseph Church. It is a hardship for some to go down the stairs. After much research we have found the best solution is a Wheelchair Lift, to assist those who need it. The Wheelchair Lift would come down the stairs from the outside doors that lead directly down to the Family Room. To access it, you would need to come out the side entrance of the church, go down the ramp and over to the glass doors. (The lift is also meant to be used by those with walkers, canes and other impediments!) It will enhance the use of the Family Room and give all a chance to participate in functions downstairs without impacting the use of the stairs. No definite date has been set for construction to begin, but we will continue to keep everyone updated on the status of the project.

Beginning in May and going through October, there will be a Morning Mass at Mary Queen of Peace ON MONDAY at 9:00 AM. Contact the office if you would like to have intentions offered for that Mass since there are many openings! Also, we will be including the donors name in the bulletin for all of the Mass Intentions. If you only provided contact information when you booked a mass, please call the office to update your information. Thank You!
