Fourth Sunday of Easter
April 21, 2002

With Jesus as our shepherd, we will find the fertile pasture of eternal life.

Alter Servers  for next Sunday's 9:00 a.m. mass:  Jonathon Csontos and John Konik.

Ham Raffle  we made only $53.00 on our most recent Ham Raffle after all expenses were paid.  We sent out about 135 booklets and only 70 were sold and the money returned to us.  This was about a 50% response from the parish, which was not very good.  As a result, we may have to reconsider the turkey raffle this year.

Confirmation will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church on Sunday, April 21 at 3:00pm.  Being confirmed from our church are:  Amanda Bradt, John Knok III and Michelle Kopczynski.  All are welcome.

The Food Pantry  received $4,282 from the "Souper Bowl" drive.

Grand Opening!  St. Clare's Auxiliary Thrift Shop   has moved across the street.  Please join us for our Grand Opening on Friday, April 26th from 10:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m.  Refreshments and Door Prizes

On Tuesday Evening  April 30th, Fr. Edward Deimeke will conduct an evening of reflection followed by a mass, for all Eucharistic Ministers.  Cost for the evening is $22.00, and includes supper at 6:30 p.m.  Please send in your reservations as soon as possible to the Dominican Retreat House, 1945 Union St., Schenectady, NY  12309.

Religion Classes  Next Sunday, April 28th will be the last religion class for our children.  We will begin again in September.  We thank our teachers, Kathy Connolly, Betty Vielkind, Audrey Capers, Monica Greco, Lucia Gutierrez, Sr. Therese and Maria Perez, who are very dedicated in sharing their faith and time with you children.  God Bless!

Sunday, May 5th  the annual Crop Walk will take place.  We need walkers.  There is a sign-up sheet on the communion rail.  More details will follow.  We received over $2,000 from last year's walk.  $4282.00 was received, also, by the Pantry.  This was from the souper bowl drive.  Many thanks to all for your support.

Have you moved?  Please let us know of nay change or address.  This helps us keep up an accurate directory.

St. Anne's Rosary Society  is collecting personal items for the SICM Food Pantry & Conifer Park and would appreciate your help.
