Please contact Lynette Taitt for more information (for example if there are any free seats). Her number is also on the C. News stand. 
2. We are very happy that we have inaugurated a new ministry: Legal Aid and Mediation service. Some of our parishioners practicing law and mediation volunteered their experience and time to help those who need assistance with some legal issues or matters needed mediation. We are very grateful to them. And we would like you encourage you to come and ask for help (if you need one) or share this invitations with those who may need help. Please remember that we already offer the counseling – psychological help. We have only two counselors who are overburdened, so we need more people who would like to serve in this beautiful way. Any contacts, appointments to receive counseling, legal help or mediation may be made through the parish office. For more information talk with the Father.
