Closer to the Front
We ask everyone to kindly take seats closer to the front when you come to Mass. The
vast majority of our parishioners sit in the last 5 or 6 pews, leaving the front almost
completely empty.
Pastoral Council
The role of the pastoral council is to work with Fr. Ernie and Deacon Gerry in
determining and organizing the pastoral life of our faith community. Several members of
the council have recently resigned from the council for health and work reasons. We
invite others to volunteer to serve. Unlike the Board of Wardens where members must
reside in the geographical territory of St. Edward’s, membership in the pastoral council
has no geographical restrictions. If you are interested, please speak with Fr. Ernie.
Supplies for Haiti
Calamine solution and Aspirins, Motrin, etc.
