These contributions sustain Catholic primary & secondary schools in the Holy Land, the Catholic University in Bethlehem, and a whole network of clinics and healthcare facilities in the Holy Land. Even special projects for social development are assisted by the collection.

3 USHERS NEEDED One of the ministries at St. Augustine Church is that of an Usher. This include assisting parishioners with finding a seat, asking members of the congregation to offer the gifts, passing around the collection baskets and distribute weekly bulleting after mass. Assisting the Eucharistic ministers by pointing out those who cannot proceed through the communion line and therefore need communion brought to them. St. Augustine Church is experiencing shortage of Ushers. Your service to the church is urgently needed. If you are interested in joining this ministry or questions about this ministry, please call, Deacon Sam Mobarek at or Thank you and God bless you. Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (including teens) Are you reading this bulletin announcement because you are interested in the Catholic Faith or are you looking to complete your Sacraments of Eucharist (Communion) and Confirmation? If so, you are reading the correct announcement. At St. Augustine s, we have an ongoing program of faith formation. I want to emphasize that RCIA is not a traditional CCD (old name) Religious Ed. Program. Candidates generally need either all three Sacraments of Initiation or having been baptized have not continued toward first Holy Communion and/or Confirmation. Please contact Deacon Jim Suchy at , the Parish Office number, or him at jimsuchy@aol.com and include the letters RCIA in the subject space. Thank You! We are most grateful to our parishioners who so generously supported our St. Patrick s Cake sale. A check in the amount of $1,001 has been given to Father Bill for parish needs. Catholic Big Sisters The Social Action Ministry is looking for volunteers who would be willing to help us carry out some of our existing initiatives, as well as some new ones we are getting ready to roll out. Can you spend 20 minutes after mass at the sign-up table for our blood drive in April, make a few phone calls from home or perhaps deliver some collected items to a charity? Any time you have to help would be greatly appreciated as many hands make light work. We welcome all volunteers, including high school or college students looking to earn some community service hours, or spruce up a resume or college application. Please contact Ann Marie via text or phone ( ) or send an to AnnMarie.Kaczorowski@pmi.com. Thanks very much for prayerfully considering helping those who need a hand up.
