March 18, 2007 Pastor's PerspectiveWe are happy to announce that their pastor Msgr. Ralph Carroll, Deacon Frank Minor and his wife Dottie (you’ll remember they visited here last year) and Deanne Raymond, their parish council chair, will be coming here to visit the four parishes of our Webster Penfield Catholic Connection (Holy Trinity, Holy Spirit, St. Paul and St. Rita). They will be speaking at some of the Masses in each of our parishes. We will also hold a small reception in each parish after the Saturday evening Mass to give you a chance to speak with them personally. There will also be a basket in each church for free-will offerings you might wish to share for their on-going needs (Lenten Almsgiving?!) Our own parish will share our Fiesta tithe this year with St. Clement of Rome and the people of New Orleans. This visit is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday April 21-22. Their main purpose in coming is to express their gratitude for all the support WPCC has shown them and to remind us of the enormous challenge that still faces that whole city. We will be sending two adult groups to work on rebuilding homes. One group will go in May and one in the Fall. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Larry Winter at 872-2711 or e-mail: john_l_winter06@yahoo.com. We are also working on the possibility of a small group of High School juniors and seniors to go down and work with high school students from St. Clement. This whole project has been a great ministry for our WPCC Cluster and a real sign of the commitment to the wider church. Happy Lent, Fr. Chuck
