From the desk of Fr. Phil...


I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our parish cook, Assunta Celeste, our parish catechist, Beverly O’Grady and our Parish Social Ministry co-ordinator, Beverly Carpenter. All three of these staff members received an award from the Archdiocese on April 30, for 10 plus years of service here at St. Dominic. I thank them for their commitment and dedication to the parish.

Please remember to get your tickets for our Foods of the World extravaganza next Saturday evening, May 12. This promises to be a great culinary experience with food from 7 different countries, including our new country, Latin America!

Thank-you to all our Confirmation facilitators who helped with our retreat day, last Saturday.  Our Confirmation class of 2012 will receive the Sacrament on the weekend of May 26-27. We are grateful to our retreat master, Mrs. Debbie Sheldrake, for leading our students in a great day of prayer and reflection.

Let us congratulate all those who have made their First Holy Communion this weekend.  May God continue to bless you through your reception of his Body and Blood!

Fr. Phil
