Fr. Jim's Jots ~ Sixth Sunday of Easter, 5.26.2019



Fr. Jim's Jots

Greetings!


Congratulations to all our graduates from high school, college or grad school!  Next Sunday, June 2nd, we want to bless and give a special acknowledgment to all our recent graduates.  Please call the parish office this week or send an email to let us know who you would like to celebrate and acknowledge.  May the Lord bless their futures with much happiness, success, a long life and the love of Christ.

Your help is needed!  Our 11th Annual Jazz and Food Festival is quickly approaching and we are looking for business and corporate sponsors.  We are hoping to increase the number of sponsors this year.  The Jazz Festival has grown and truly it is an opportunity for area businesses, organizations and individual corporations to highlight their involvement in the Richmond Highland Park area and to help support this community-wide effort.  Therefore, your help is needed.  Give us the contact information, email address, name and phone number of the business and we will contact them.

PS: Today, we also recognize and give thanks for the wonderful scripture formation classes conducted by our own Rita Hatchett.  We give thanks for those who participated in the classes and are grateful and continue to be inspired by the leadership of Rita.

Easter Joy,

Fr. Jim Arsenault

Fr. Jim's Jots ~ Fifth Sunday of Easter - 5.19, 2019



Fr. Jim's Jots

Greetings!

Wow! Special thanks to all who helped in any way for the Anniversary of my 30 years of Priesthood. As priests, our parish family is in many ways Christ's gift; much like the families we grew up with, each parish is unique and different.

St. Elizabeth is a parish with a rich history of love for social justice and a warm and welcoming community.  We also are challenged to welcome all and have growing pains.

May the Lord bless each and everyone for your kindness, generosity and hard work, and your sacrifices to make last Wednesday's celebration truly a joy-filled blessing.

I am humbly blessed!

Easter Joy,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
