READERS & EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS/
LETTORI E MINISTRI STRAORDINARI
DELL’EUCARISTIA
We are currently trying to settle all those
who have participated in our recent
workshops. This will include an official
installation for each group and turns on
the regular weekend schedule.
Just as a practical step, we would ask
you to come into the sacristy a little while
before Mass in order to see if we are short some ministers for
your Mass. Sometimes people cannot keep their schedule at
the last minute and we would be happy to have your help.
We find that our Liturgies are enhanced by your
participation. Sometimes we also end up having the same
person performing all the different roles – like a one-man
band. If you are here, why not add to the dignity of the
sacred liturgy?
In questo periodo stiamo cercando di sistemare tutti quelli
che hanno partecipato alla recente formazione mirata ai
ministri ecclesiali. In ciò consiste l’istituzione ufficiale di
ciascun gruppo di ministri liturgici e la loro inclusione nei turni
domenicali regolari.
Come iniziativa pratica, siete pregati di passare dalla
sacrestia una po` prima dell’inizio della Santa Messa a
chiedere se è necessaria la vostra collaborazione per
sostituire per ministri liturgici che manchino. La Vostra
prestazione d’aiuto e ben gradita, perché accade a volte che
alcuni all’ultimo momento sono impossibilitati alla turnazione
del proprio servizio. A nostro parere, le celebrazioni
liturgiche sono rese sempre più rilevanti con la Vostra
partecipazione. A volte durante la Santa Messa la stessa
persona svolge tutti i ruoli ministeriali, quasi come un tipo di
uomo orchestra. Se siete presenti, perché non contribuite ad
arricchire la dignità della celebrazione liturgica?
Oggi domenica si terrà l’istituzione dei Ministri
dell’Eucaristia. Vi chiediamo gentilmente di prestare
attenzione per quanto sarà resa nota la lista e la data in cui
avrà luogo l’istituzione dei Lettori.
ORDINE FRANCESCANO SECOLARE
La prossima riunione per l’ordine Francescano secolare si
terrà giovedì 20 febb seguendo la S. Messa delle 8 am.

HEATING EXPENSES ENVELOPE
For those who have not yet used their Heating envelopes,
you can still forward your donation during the month of
February. Thank you for your generosity last weekend: 84
people donated a total of $1,292. This would have been an
average of $15 per envelope.
Vi ringraziamo in anticipo per il vostro contributo generoso
verso le bollette invernali per il riscaldamento e la luce.
Anche se l’attendenza (e perciò, anche l’offerta domenicale)
è diminuita, i conti arrivano lo stesso – consultatevi con la
bacheca all’entrata della chiesa. Domenica scorsa abbiamo
ricevuto un totale di 84 buste per il riscaldamento per una
cifra di $1,292. GRAZIE!
INCOME TAX RECEIPTS
Income tax receipts are available in the sacristy for those who
would like to pick them up. Should you have any questions
please contact the parish office.

LA SESTA DOMENICA — ANN0 A — 16 FEBBRAIO 2014
GOOD FRIDAY MEETING THURS 20 FEB
INCONTROxVENERDÌ SANTO-GIOV 20 FEBB
Our meeting to begin preparations for this year’s procession will
be on Thurs Feb 20th at 7 pm in St Francis Parish Hall. This is a
showcase event for the faith of our community. This year we
will be a little disadvantaged with the rectory being cut off for
renovations. We are hoping to carry out some re-organization
including characters and a simplification of the route. We ask
our groups to begin collecting names and contact
information for those wanting to participate.

9:00 AM Giov 20 febb alle 7 di sera nella sala parrocchiale di San
Francesco avremo il nostro primo incontro preparativo per la
processione del venerdì santo. Siccome la casa parrocchiale è
un cantiere di lavoro e perciò chiuso, saremo un po’
svantaggiati quest’anno. Cerchiamo di organizzarci bene e di
semplificare anche la rotta della processione. Gentilmente
chiediamo i capi gruppi di raccogliere i dettagli (nomi,
ricapiti telefonici e indirizzi di posta elettronica) di chi
vuole partecipare.
