FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Couples’  Night  Out  

Twentieth Anniversary Father Joseph Bannon May 11, 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of our beloved first pastor, Father Joseph Bannon. As first pastor, he along with many faith-filled and courageous parishioners founded Saint Dunstan parish and built a new church. Over the years, to commemorate his life and ministry, a scholarship was established. Annually, a high school graduate from our parish is awarded a $1,000 gift from this scholarship fund. We believe that it is time to replenish this special fund and potentially award two scholarships each year. Would you be willing to support such an effort by donating in memory of Fr. Bannon to assist more young parishioners? For your convenience, you will find a special offering envelope in the bulletin this week. Thank you in advance for your generosity. We are truly grateful for the life and ministry of Father Joseph Bannon…may he rest in the warm embrace of our loving God!

Archdiocese of Hartford Office of Religious Education Lay Ministry Program Would you like to serve your parish in a more effective way and deepen your won faith life at the same time” If your answer is “yes”, then perhaps God is inviting you to be a lay minister. The lay minster is formed through classes in theology spirituality, and pastoral skills over a two-year period. Some of the areas of ministry that may be studied are: adult education, baptismal preparation, bereavement, liturgy, health care, stewardship, RCIA, youth/young adult and social justice to name a few. Other areas for which you and your parish see a need can be designed. Interested persons should speak to their pastor about the possibility of being sponsored by the parish and then contact Mary Marsan, Coordinator for Lay Ministry. Mary can be reached at the Office of Religious Education at 860-243-9465, or email, [email protected]. A new lay ministry class begins in September 2011 and applications may be found at www.orehartford.org.
