Message from Deacon John
Has Easter made a difference in our lives? The Lord is Risen! Alleluia! Every Easter we proudly proclaim that the Lord is risen, that Jesus is alive. But do we stop and reflect on what that means for ourselves? If our way of life before Easter is the same as it is after Easter then something is missing. The Gospels tell us that for the disciples, life was changed. They went from living in fear after the death of Jesus to proudly being witnesses of the risen Jesus. Easter should also be a time for us when our faith takes on a renewed energy and we are encouraged anew to witness to our faith. A faith that influences the deci-sions we make in our life and in our interactions with family members, neighbours and all we meet in our day to day lives. Something to think about as we answer the call of Jesus to “Follow me”. In Peace, Deacon John.

Baptism Preparation for our Catholic Family of Parishes in Norfolk.
Sessions: We request that parents wishing to have their child(ren) Baptized attend one of our Baptism Preparation nights.
Baptism preparation will take place on the 1st Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm with it rotating between all four parishes.
The upcoming classes will be as follows:
June 7, at St. Bernard’s, Waterford, Parish Hall July 5, at Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs, Delhi, Parish Office August 2 at St. Cecilia’s, Port Dover, Parish Hall
You may attend whichever session you wish, even if it’s different than the parish you will Baptize your child in. It’s easier to attend before birth, but again it is your choice.
