Dear Friends, 
I got word that the priest from Lativia, Fr. Paul Klavins, received his visa and is due to arrive at our parish next week- so you should have a chance to meet him next weekend or the weekend after. I’m grateful for the help, and hope that he will be a good addition to our staff and our parish. He is on a one-year semi-sabbatical from his work in his home diocese, but will be working as a kind of associate pastor for us two-thirds time. His primary focus will be our Religious Education program. In addition, he will spend time with each of our school teachers and catechists, working with them to develop their lesson plans and curricula for their religion classes.  
Fr. David Colhour has been of great help the past year+plus, taking a Sunday Mass or two each month, and covering for me when I was away. We won’t be seeing as much of him now, although he has assured me that we can continue to call on him if needed for as long as he is stationed in Chicago (remember that he is a Passionist priest). I am very grateful to him for his help and support.  
Remember that the new “Split-the-Pot” system will be going into effect come July 1- information on how this will work is in the bulletin. 
Also- next Saturday is the First Saturday of the Month. Confessions will be available at Nativity of Our Lord church from 11am until noon.  
 May your week reflect the encounter with Christ 
we experienced at Mass today!
