“St. Francis Xavier, a welcoming faith community lovingly sharing the gifts of God.”

FEAST OF PENTECOST
RD
MAY 23 , 2010
PRAYERS FOR THE DECEASED: We pray for our loved ones who have died recently es-
pecially Margaret Proulx, Eileen Potter and Father Jack Green.
PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND SHUT-IN: “Let us raise up in prayer those who seek God’s
healing love, those at the hospital, hospice and at home”. We pray especially for Marjorie
Humphry, Marjorie Dolan, Brian Smith and Harold Bolger. May your struggle be consoled by
Christ’s love“.

With heartfelt thanks I express gratitude to all who in the last week have been so
supportive to me and my family. Mother’s death
death was untimely, as death often is,
but to celebrate her life with you was a consolation to us.
Your kindness is an ongoing expression
expression of the community we are trying to build
here at St. Francis Xavier.
Mother’s lifelong hope was to see her expectation of
of God fulfilled. We trust that she
will find peace now in her new life with our God.
Gratefully and Sincerely
Fr. Peter
