Rev John B. MacKenzie
Pastor
The Parish has made its choice! After examining the images of the three possible statues, unanimous decision has been reached. The statue of Our Lady of Fatima Azinheira-designed in the spirit and image of how Our Lady appeared among the cork oak trees in Fatima, Portugal to the three shepherd children of Fatima will be goinginto church. It will be handcrafted and come directly from Fatima. The parish is going to be involved in every step along the way and will ultimately choose from a number of design selections and the sacred space in which She will be enshrined. More on this later.

ANNUAL PARISH CONCERT
ANNUAL PARISH CONCERT
The parish concert on Tuesday the 24th was a big success. There was a good turn-out and everyone who came experienced a "very classy" and entertaining evening. this was our third concert and hopefully, if Caroline gets her way, there will be a fourth next year. We can only hope! Thanks to Mrs. Caroline Long who created and meticulously put together the concert event and the selections that were played. Thanks to her three soloists, Cecile Eisenhauer, Kristen Peterson, and Estelle Puzo who made her musical pieces come alive with their beautiful voices. And thanks to Pierrette Clermont and to all who helped her as we were all treated to a "delicious" ice cream banquet downstairs afterwards.
Fr. John
The Catholic Church has a treasure trove of beautiful prayers that the faithful throughout the world have been praying for centuries. Beginning this weekend and every weekend thereafter a "famous Catholic prayer" will be included in the parish bulletin. At the end of every homily we will recite this prayer together. Thanks to the "inspired" parishioner who came up with this suggestion. Our first prayer will be the one she suggested. The Memorare click here to visit prayer page for the Memorare
