BULLETIN PUBLICATION – IL BOLLETTINO We are now approaching the summer season which marks the end of the school year as well as many other programmes offered around the city. Some of our parishioners will be taking advantage of the warm weather and leave for their cottages or on vacations. Subsequently, we have come to the realisation that the weekly publication of the bulletin will not be necessary during the summer months. These are the dates when the bulletin will be published: July 6th and August 10th We will resume to the weekly publishing of the bulletin starting September 7th, 2013. Please note that nothing else has changed -- Mass times and parish office hours remain the same. Ci stiamo avvicinando alla stagione estiva che segna la fine dell'anno scolastico, e anche la fine di molti altri programmi offerti nella nostra comunità. Alcuni dei nostri parrocchiani approfittando del clima caldo, ci lasciano per andare altrove in vacanza. Stiamo per ridurre la pubblicazione settimanale del bollettino. Il bollettino non sarà necessario di pubblicarlo tutti le settimana durante i mesi estivi. Queste sono le date in cui il bollettino sarà pubblicato: il 6 luglio, e il 10 agosto. Riprenderemo la pubblicazione settimanale del bollettino l’7 settembre 2014. Si prega di notare che nient'altro è cambiato – gli orari delle messe e dell’ufficio parrocchiale rimangono gli stessi. AROUND THE PARISH – IN PARROCCHIA This past week we have been busy with School Year Closing Masses for both our schools: St Francis of Assisi and St Luke. These came shortly after the parish celebrations of First Holy Communion and Confirmation which included students from both these school – about 100 families were involved. We also had a formation meeting for our Parish Council on Tuesday evening – in spite of the rain. On Wednesday our St Vincent de Paul had a seminar in our hall. This seminar was aimed doing ongoing training in their ministry. Finiti le feste della Prima Comunione e la Cresima, le nostre scuole sono venute per le SS Messe di chiusure dell’anno scolastico. Sono stati organizzati in questi giorni degli incontri formativi per il Consiglio Parrocchiale e per i membri della Società di San Vincenzo de Paoli. We would like to thank the following for providing loaves of bread on the feast of St Anthony this past weekend: Filomena D’Ambrosio Rosalia Fiumara Carmelo Ionadi Rosa Nasso Rosina Rende We also thank all those who have made monetary donations on the occasion of St Anthony. This year on behalf of our parishioners we are contributing to St Francis Table a total of $515.00.
