FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
April 24, 2016
1st Reading: : Acts 14:21-27
2nd Reading: Revelation 21:1-5a
From the Pastor…
It finally feels like Spring has arrived and
Summer can’t be far behind. We have completed
our Religious Education classes for this school year
and we are now preparing to celebrate First Holy
Communion with our children on May 7. I am very
grateful to all the teachers and aides who are so
generous with their time to help the children of our
parish to learn about their Catholic Faith. We rely
on many people to make it work and our thanks go
out to one and all. Although classes are completed
for grades 1 to 8, a new cycle begins for the
Confirmation program with orientation and
interviews for those entering the program during the
month of May and preparation for our Summer
Sessions in late June.
As we look to summer, our parish has a
major celebration coming up. In July we will
celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Founding of
Holy Apostles Parish. As we celebrate this
milestone, we give thanks to God for the many
blessings that he has bestowed on the parish over
these years, we reminisce about the past and we
look forward to many more fruitful years of
ministry ahead. We are planning a number of
special events over the course of the next year to
mark this jubilee and we will begin with a Mass of
Thanksgiving on Sunday, July 24th at 11:00 AM.
Be sure to mark your calendar to save that date and
plan to join us for this important celebration in the
life of our parish.
Msgr. Theroux
Gospel: John 13:31-33a, 34-35
Holy Communion
to the Sick and Homebound
Each Sunday, after the 9:30 AM Mass, we send out
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to
bring the Eucharist to Cra-Mar Meadows and to
several individuals in their homes. We are in need
of volunteers to assist us in this service. If you are
interested or would like more information, please
speak with either Msgr. Theroux or Peggy Simms.
We will give you instructions on what to do and the
first time you go out, we will have you accompany
one of our present ministers to show you the
routine. This ministry is personally rewarding and
it is very much appreciated by those who are
receiving Holy Communion.

TUITION ASSISTANCE
PARISH OFFICE HOURS
Catholic School Tuition Assistance
Program Requirements
The underlying premise of the Catholic School
Tuition Assistance Program is that financial
assistance is based on need. In order to insure
objectivity, the Diocesan Catholic School Office’s
policy requires that parents complete a financial aid
application form (FACTS). In addition, a letter
requesting consideration for assistance must be
submitted to Monsignor Theroux as soon as
possible but no later than the end of April.
1. Families requesting assistance must
follow church law on fulfilling the
"Sunday" obligation to attend Mass.
If the child lives with two parents who are
Catholic, both parents must attend. It
should also be by way of exception that a
family attends Mass in a parish other than
Holy Apostles.
2. At least one parent must be involved
in a parish program/ministry.
3. Families must be regular contributors
to the parish budget using the weekly
envelopes or through Faith Direct.
STEWARDSHIP

parishioners who are always so willing to pitch in
and lend a helping hand. Their participation
contributes to the vibrancy of our community.
