WHEELCHAIR RAMP MINISTRY
The Knights of Columbus from Saint Mark and St. John churches have formed a new ministry that will install wheelchair ramps for parishioners in need of improving the accessibility and safety of their homes. This ministry will be a satellite location, working with a church from Ridgefield, Connecticut, who have been providing this assistance for over 20 years and have installed in excess of 400 wheelchair ramps.
If you or someone you know is in need of a ramp, please contact Don De Young, the ministry coordinator at 203-313-4237 or donaldjdeyoung@gmail.com. Men and women are invited to join this ministry, as well as young adults who have completed their freshman year of high school. We’ve already built our first two ramps!!

Thank you to the volunteers: confirmation students, members of the Parish Council and the Ladies Guild, the Knights of Columbus, Father Greg for leading our blessing, and Father Michael for helping to serve potato salad! A very special thank you to Len DiBella, owner of Luigi's, for donating the best salad in town! Len is so very generous in providing for our many events throughout the year.

LET NOT YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED
Thank you FATHER MICHAEL for an inspiring and spiritually uplifting Mission. Your Christ centered reflections guided us into a deeper relationship with Jesus. From the opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration, to the powerful and personal Eucharistic Procession and then culminating in the renewing Sacrament of Confession, you offered a Mission which strengthened us in the remaining days of our Lenten journey and prepared us for Holy Week.

A special word of appreciation to our Shoreline Youth Group, whose warm greetings and outstanding hospitality created an inviting and joyful atmosphere from the moment guests arrived. You truly reflected the best of our parish—and our future.
And special thanks to our Executive Chef, Adam Ladd, whose leadership, dedication, and passion brought everyone together around an exceptional meal. Your commitment and hard work were evident in every detail and greatly contributed to the success of the evening.
