GOOD SHEPHERD PARISH CORPUS CHRISTI:MOST HOLY BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST JUNE 7, 2015

Message from Monsignor René Mathieu: (1) St. Luke Chapel in Old Orchard Beach was officially listed for sale

last week, and with that, members of the finance council and I recognize

the need to improve parking at St. Margaret however and whenever possible. Attempts to sell the rectory have been mostly unsuccessful due

to our unwillingness to give up more parking in the attached lot; the cost

of maintaining the building is also a concern. One promising possibility

I am strongly considering involves the demolition of St. Margaret Rectory. Saco &

Biddeford Savings is also looking to increase their parking, and discussions with them

could lead to a mutually beneficial agreement. Demolishing the rectory and paving the

area would allow the parish to lease parking to the bank while retaining ownership and

adding parking for weekend Masses. Good Shepherd Parish and SBS work together as

neighbors both here and at Most Holy Trinity in Saco, and we are grateful to have

them as good neighbors. In addition to that parking project, we have paved the small

lot behind the church; we also plan to replace the church furnace & switch to propane before next winter, and to repair & improve the front steps – almost all paid using St.

Margaret’s portion of the 5-year capital campaign. In addition, Knights of Columbus

have agreed to paint the 2nd floor rooms of the church hall. I presume everyone will

appreciate these improvements. (2) As announced earlier, Bishop Deeley has author-

ized a special collection at all of Maine’s Catholic churches on the weekend of June 13

-14 to provide aid and recovery support to the people impacted by the destructive

earthquake that shook Nepal on April 25. The special collection will support Catho-

lic Relief Services (CRS) as they address relief and recovery efforts. CRS is already on

the ground in Kathmandu, the capital city and one of the most affected areas, distrib-

uting food and providing shelter. Materials for shelter, water purification, and hygiene

kits will be needed for months to come. Because we already have a second collection scheduled for that weekend, your contribution to help the people of Nepal will be

accepted as you leave Mass next weekend, at the exits of the church. (3) Christian

stewards recognize Christ as the source of all good things. Grateful for the gifts we

have received, we are eager to share them to show our love for Christ and for one

another. The 2015 Catholic Appeal is one way all of us can support the mission of

Christ’s Church in Maine. If you have not yet done so, I invite you to pledge this

week. You may place the pledge form in the basket during the usual offertory collec-

tion (or stamp & mail the envelope). (4) Bishop Deeley will celebrate the annual

Silver & Gold Mass on Saturday, June 27, at the 4:00 pm Mass at Holy Family

Church, 607 Sabattus St., Lewiston. This liturgy is a testimony to the goodness of

marriage and the blessings it can bring, thanking God for graces given and asking for the continuing gift of grace to persevere in the commitments that have been made.

Couples celebrating Milestone Anniversaries – 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 …75 yrs. of marriage

are invited to come celebrate their marriage and renew their Marriage Covenant.

RSVP by June 20 at 207-321-7885 or e-mail [email protected].

(5) Thank You of the Week: To the three Knights of Columbus councils for working

to organize the yard sale at St. Luke’s last weekend. Thank you!

JOKES PRIESTS CAN TELL, Vol. 5 - Msgr. Tonne: During a summer thunder-

storm a young mother watched her four-year-old son break into a broad smile each

time lightning pierced the dark sky. When she asked him why, he smiled and

answered, “Because God is trying to take my picture.”

Excellence

St. James School staff partners with parents, parishioners, and our community to provide students with opportunities to become faith-filled Catholics, creative and critical thinkers, life-long learners, and confident contributors to the Church and society.

PRESCHOOL OPEN HOUSE

Saint James School is having a Preschool

Open House on Tuesday, June 9th

from 9 to 11 am and again from 1 to 3 pm.

Students can begin preschool when they turn three

years of age and are potty trained. The times are

flexible to work around your schedule. Your child

can attend 2,3,4,or 5 days per week and your child

has the option of leaving at 11:30, 2:30 or 5:30.

Kayla Nunan, our preschool director, was our Title One

teacher and our kindergarten aide last year. She holds a ME

certification in both early childhood and K-3. She knows

how to teach young students, and she applies this

knowledge to these preschoolers. She knows what is

expected of them in kindergarten and will get them where

they need to be. Kayla has a staff of seasoned profession-

als and keeps the student to teacher ratio very low. It is a

very nurturing and caring environment.

Saint James preschool students also get the advantage

of having integrated arts classes in French, Art, Music,

PE and Library with our veteran K-8 teachers. There is

at least one integrated arts class per day and on some

days, there are two integrated arts classes. They also

will be a part of the K-8 school and take part in any special activities,

performances, concerts, and prayer services with the older students.

They love seeing their buddies in school, and they really get all the

advantages of a K-8 school.

Snack is provided and you can either bring a lunch

from home or purchase a lunch from our 5-2-1-0

Gold School of Distinction. Children can choose

from a salad, fruit, or sandwich bar and a hot lunch

option daily. You know that they will be eating well!

We have a large play area, but we are also a very safe school. You will

be buzzed in from the office, as safety is our biggest priority.

Prices are very reasonable, too. Come and see our preschool on

Tuesday, June 9, either 9-11 am or 1-3 pm. Meet the teachers, see the

space, and then you can reserve your spot in this fantastic preschool!
