Seniors&
SILVERTONES
(Meaning all people from St. John's over age 55)
First, let me thank all of those who came on our first trip to Grand Casino Hinkley.  You registered early, so we could get everything arranged well before the day of the trip, Wednesday, July 25.  We all had a great time!  Total receipts of $463.00 goes to the SilverTones to purchase something for the new St. John Centre.

MEMORIALS
We have recently received a memorial for the Saint Therese Community Room in the Pastoral Centre. We are very grateful to our anonymous donor for the gift of a beautiful Grandfather Clock with triple chime movement. This gift will help beautify a very intimate conversational setting for wakes, and/or folks who just want to enjoy each other's company. On behalf of the entire parish, thank you!

CHANGE ORDERS FOR EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS, LECTORS AND SERVERS
If you are in need of a scheduling change, other than one or two Sundays, please pick up a change order form at the Information Desk in church. We ask that you use this change order form only. Please do not submit changes on slips of paper. Change orders are due by Sunday, September 2nd. Next schedule will run through January.
LOOKING FOR HOUSING
Immediately following the dedication of the new Pastoral Centre, the present east and west entrances will be emergency exit doors only. Those entering the church from the east and west will enter the new building to gain access to the church nave. Due to this change, we are looking at moving the statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph. Most probably they will find a home in the window wells on each side of the baptistery, providing a more convenient location for those entering and exiting the back of the church. Same church - different pew!
