APRIL 2002 EVENTS

Renewed for Life (details)
Sundays
Enrich your faith through Scripture reading, reflection, prayer, and music. Our faith-sharing community meets on Sundays 8 - 9:30 pm in the IC Catechetical Center. Materials on the devotional writings of Henri J. M. Nouwen are provided. Attend whenever you can make it. Bring your bibles and friends.

Sacrament of Confirmation
Saturday, April 20
Our group has once again been asked by Sr. Cora Marie to assist with setting up and serving at the reception after the Pentecost mass for the newly confirmed high school students and their families. For the past several years, the weather has been nice enough to set up the refreshments outdoors on the church portico. If it is a rainy day, then we'll use Madonna Hall.

Your willingness to volunteer to help would be greatly appreciated. The mass is Saturday 4/20 at 5:30 pm. Plan to arrive around 5 pm to begin arranging the tables and filling trays with cookies, fruit, cheese, crackers, as well as making punch with sherbet. Once everything's ready by 6:30 pm, we'll manage the tables while the families mingle and take photos with the priests and bishop. Clean-up is usually complete by 7:15 pm. We can go out together for dinner at a local restaurant and possibly see a movie afterwards.

If you'd like to sign up to volunteer, please send an email to icsa@lycos.com sometime before April 18. For those who can't make it earlier to serve at the reception, please feel free to come by the church (30 N. Fullerton Ave., Montclair) around 7 pm to join us for dinner.


Happy Spring!
