DEACON LACHLAN
In a few weeks …… Friday, September 30th to be exact, we will have a Mass and Appreciation Party for all our parish volunteers. The Mass will be at 6:30pm in the church, and the party will be in the auditorium immediately following the Mass. We have had a notice in the bulletin for a number of weeks asking all volunteers to ‘save the date’, and asking also for the names of those who intend to come, so that we can begin planning the food and beverages for the event. Many have already responded, but if you have not done so, now is the time. Thanks to May O’Boyle Deegan and Anna Rosamilia from our Parish Council, many volunteers will have received an email invitation, or a regular mail invitation in the past few days. Please let them know if you intend to come to the party. Spouses of our volunteers are also welcome to attend. This party is for 21 and over. There is a separate event for our younger volunteers. So if you are an usher or a lector or an EM, or perhaps Ministry of Consolation is your area, please come along…and let us know you are coming! We also have many volunteers in Social Ministry, festival volunteers, hospitality and our Saint Vincent de Paul group just to name a few. If we have missed someone …let us know. We are blessed with many volunteers at Holy Spirit…..so many in fact that when arranging something like this….it is possible to miss someone! We don’t want anyone to miss out. If you are a member of Holy Spirit Parish and you volunteer please let us know. This will be a wonderful evening which will begin with a beautiful Mass in the church. When we go down to the auditorium there will be a full dinner, and we will have wine, beer and soda, tea and coffee and dessert. Then we will have music and dancing…….the music being provided by our very own Ray McKnight…….who will play a variety of music for all tastes…..keeping in mind that it’s a 21 and over group!! The Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be radio personality…and Holy Spirit parishioner…….Tony Jackson. We all lead busy lives, trying to juggle the demands placed on us each day, and yet so many people take the time to volunteer to help in so many different ways. This is an opportunity for us to come before God in the Sacrifice of the Mass, in gratitude for the many gifts that we receive each day. One of those gifts is the gift of one another. This party is an opportunity for our volunteers to come together, and meet one another, and share our joys as followers of Jesus Christ.
May Almighty God bless us, protect us from all evil, and lead us into everlasting life. Amen
