Parish Notices for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

1. August 31^st is traditionally the day we host our annual fund raising Independence Barbeque. Due to the change of parish priest the event was postponed to a later date. The new date being suggested is Saturday 27^th September. We need your help with donations, sales of tickets, ingredients. The events committee will meet on Monday 28^th Jul at 6pm in the Pastoral Centre. Anyone interested in helping can also attend. 
2. In 2015 we will celebrate the 200^th anniversary of our church building. Therefore funds generated from the BBQ and other events will go towards our 200^th Anniversary celebrations. Planning for this event is ongoing. Suggestions are welcomed. 
3. Mass Intentions. If you would like to have a Mass offered, please use the Mass Intention envelope detailing the information on the front of the envelope. You can give the completed envelopes to the Sacristan Catherine Sellier, Morris Smith, Deacon Jeffrey (if you happen to see him) or you can bring it to the Parish Office. At St. Jude’s you can check with Michael Hill. 
4. Mass for the Sick is on Saturday 9^th August @ 10am. Ministers who take communion to the sick please make arrangements for these persons to attend this special Mass. 

Blessings to ALL our parishioners this week!
