Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
In the Gospel reading of today, we listen to Jesus praying for His disciples. He knows he will soon leave them. However, his primary concern is their unity. And so Jesus prays, “Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.” This prayer of Jesus is not just for the Apostles; it extends to all of us. So, we are invited to be committed to unity, especially in our parish.

Lay Ministry Opportunity
Save the Date - Sunday, May 19, 2024, 3:00 – 4:30 in the Church
|
|
We are expanding and enriching our lay ministries of lectors, eucharistic ministers and altar servers. These are vital roles at Holy Name, and we need all who have served in the past, are currently serving and most importantly wish to serve to save this date and attend this meeting.
|
It will be an opportunity to interact with one another and establish and practice a set of consistent and liturgically sound routines and practices so that we can all confidently and appropriately carry out these roles. What a beautiful way to engage or re-engage in parish life and to be part of the spiritual growth and enrichment of our parish.
|
|
Please consider this important work, save the date on your calendar, and tap a friend to join you.
