Support the Production of our Bulletin

Producing our own bulletin allows us to meet the needs of

the three languages. If we were to send this bulletin out to

be produced, we would have to have one bulletin in Eng-

lish only for everyone and the publications of the Readings

in Italian and Spanish would have to come to an end. Help

us by Supporting our advertisers and also by placing

an ad in our bulletin for a year. Please call the office for

more information.

Planning to be a Catholic School Teacher?

It is critical for you to know that to be hired to teach in any Catholic School Board in Ontario as part of your appli-cation for employment you must pro-vide a letter of recommendation from your Pastor. It is highly recommended to contact the pastor a year in advance, especially in light of the fact that all universities make this matter known to every student at the beginning of the year. Please plan to have a conversa-tion with your pastor early in the pro-cess (not the week before you are sub-mitting your application) and you will avoid disappointment and stress at the time when applications are to be sub-mitted. The following are required at St. Jude’s: Be (yourself, not your parents or

grandparents) a registered member of the parish using offertory envelopes (at least 1 year before the applica-tion).

Be in the parish for participation in Sunday/Saturday mass for a mini-mum of 12 months prior to approach-ing the pastor.

Make your request 3 months in ad-vance. Applicant must be the one

making the requests. No request by a relative or a parent

will be accepted . The pastor has to be able to recom-mend you, and that is only possible if he knows you at the basic level of reg-ular mass attendance. Personal knowledge of the candidate’s faith practice is what the pastor needs to rec-ommend, not your relatives, but your-self, as this is a personal recommenda-tion not a family one.

Offertory Envelopes Please ensure to use only the envelopes with the number that have been assigned to you. DO NOT use any other enve-lope. Thank you for helping our Ac-counting Department to keep accurate records, in order to apply the donations to the correct person.

Questions for Reflection:

Cyrus, a Gentile, permitted the Israel-ites to return from captivity in Babylon to their homeland. Who are the people in the last hundred and fifty years who have broken down the walls of preju-dice and freed oppressed peoples? Were they all Christian? Do you think God chose them? Has God ever used you? If so, were you aware of it?
