RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
Altar Server Training For those who were unable to attend the last training for altar servers, there will be a makeup session. On Saturday, March 29th at noon, Fr. Frank will meet with interested students in 4th grade and above. The training lasts for about one hour. It is not necessary to attend this session if your child attended the first session. CCD Home-schooling On Sunday March, 30th parents are to keep their children home and complete their lessons with them as the CCD staff is meeting with the Diocesan Office for Religious Education that morning. Lessons were brought home or mailed last week. Please have your children return their completed lessons to their teachers on Sunday, April 6th. First Communion Parent Meeting On Sunday, April 6th, there will be a mandatory meeting at 9:30a.m. in the PLEC for parents of all First Communion students. This is the last parent meeting prior to First Communion so it is critical that every child be represented at the meeting. St. Irenaeus Youth will not meet this weekend. Happy Easter! Our parish provides spiritual care each month at three local nursing homes. We are in need of volunteers to assist nursing home residents in attending Mass at Presbyterian Senior Care, Longwood at Oakmont Healthcare Center and Golden Living Center formerly Beverly Health Care). It requires only one and a half to two hours of your time once a month. You will have the satisfaction of helping those who can't get to Mass otherwise. Please call Father Frank at the parish office, 412/828-3065 if you would like to help. Rediscover Your Marriage - Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) simply means "rediscovery." The program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage. It will give you the opportunity to examine your lives together in a new and positive way. Tens of thousands headed for divorce have successfully saved their marriages by attending. For confidential information about or to register for the spring program beginning with a weekend on April 4-6, 2008, call 1-800-470-2230, send an e-mail to 3041@retrouvaille.org, or visit the web site at www.helpourmarriage.com |

Due to Easter occurring early this year and the possibility of cold weather, we will not be having an annual Easter Egg Hunt. Instead, there will be an Easter Procession for toddlers through second grade on Easter Sunday at 12:15 p.m. The children will process through the church accompanied by Ken Hand on the organ and will receive gift bags at the end of the procession. You are welcome to bring your cameras and camcorders. Do not abandon yourself to despair. We are the Easter people and Alleluia is our song. Pope John Paul II |
