PARISH NOTICES - SUNDAY, 24 MAY 2009

• Today is the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord. The Feast of Mary Help of Christians will be celebrated on Monday 25 May.
• At 8 am this Sunday 24^th May, 8 novices of Sacred Heart Training Centre will be making their First Religious Commitment as Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. On the same day at 6:30 pm during our feast day Eucharist 13 novices from Salesian Training Institute will make their First Religious Commitment as Salesians of Don Bosco. We thank them for their active contribution to our parish in catechesis, mass animation and other services during their years of novitiate and pray that they will grow in fidelity to the Lord who has called them. Hence, please note that there will be no morning mass this Sunday 24^th May. All of you are invited to the Sunday evening Eucharist at 6:30 pm here in our church.
• May is a month of special devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary. This year we are reciting the rosary at our grotto every evening at 6:45 pm. For those who cannot attend the grotto rosary it will be nice to recite the rosary in our families.
• Please assist the collection of monthly Church support done through volunteers who sit outside the parish office after the Saturday evening mass and the Sunday evening mass.
• We are happy to announce that our collection for Orissa has arrived at Rs. 22,500/. We will be forwarding this amount for the rehabilitation of those affected by the communal violence via the Bishop’s House here in Nashik. Let us continue to pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Orissa and for the victims of violence and persecution the world over.
