Mass Intentions & Schedule...

Sacrament of Reconciliation: Before weekday Masses & Saturdays, 6:15pm - 6:45pm

Pastoral Pianning: The three pastoral units of Isle Madame, East Richmond and West Richmond met on
Thursday, November 3rd, 2005 in Louisdale. There was a misunderstanding between Louisdale and Isle
Madame thinking they were going to meet before the next meeting. East Richmond Pastoral Planning
Committee met on October 27th, 2005 to discuss Mass schedules, religious education, evangelization and youth
ministry. A possible schedule if priest is missing in River Bourgeois or St Peters due to sickness, etc. was
drawn up. Some discussion was held on the need for more adult faith education. Parents are the first teachers
of their children in the ways of faith. Adults who commit themselves to youth ministry ought to be praised and
encouraged for their efforts. Where do we go from here? We need feedback from Fr. Paul Abbass. Waiting for
a reply from him.
