FALL FESTIVAL 2016
This year we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary with a Festival the weekend of September 16-18,
2016 on our beautiful grounds at 800 Pippin Orchard Road in Cranston, Rhode Island.
Prior year Fall Festivals were outstanding successes and offered fine cuisine, continuous
entertainment, amusement rides and games for the entire family. An estimated 3,000 people attended each
of the prior year Festivals and the enthusiasm and excitement were shared by all.
The success of this grand event would not be possible without the generosity of the parishioners and
friends of Holy Apostles. We have indeed been blessed and are grateful for their past support. We are
offering an opportunity for friends and parishioners to lend their support as a Fall Festival Friend with a $100
donation. In appreciation of your generosity, your name (i.e. Bob and Mary Smith, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Smith,
The Smith family) will appear on the Holy Apostles Fall Festival Donor Board, which will be displayed near the
main entrance of the church. You may also give the donation in memory of a deceased loved one. Their name
on the donor board will be preceded by a “cross”.
We ask that you consider this special request to support the Holy Apostles parish community. Please
complete the form below and forward it to the Holy Apostles parish office. Your financial support will
undoubtedly ensure the success of these events to be enjoyed by the entire community for many years to
come.
We thank you in advance for your consideration, generosity and friendship. May God bless you and
your loved ones.
With Best Regards,
Holy Apostles Fall Festival Committee

Wedding Anniversary
Celebrations
The R.C.I.A. is a program for~
Diocesan Celebration
The Office of Marriage Preparation & Enrichment is
sponsoring the Tenth Annual Wedding Anniversary
Celebration
honoring
couples of the Diocese of
Providence who will be
observing their 25th, 40th,
50th and Over wedding
anniversary in 2016. The
celebration will be held on
Sunday, September 25, 2016 at 1:00PM at the
Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul, Providence and will
include Mass, renewal of the marriage vows, a
personalized certificate for each couple and a
reception for the couples and their families. Bishop

this event by contacting the parish office before

Parish Celebration
As part of celebration of the 25th Anniversary of
Holy Apostles Parish, we will have a special
parish celebration on Sunday, October 9, 2016
at the 11:00 AM Mass for those celebrating
milestone anniversaries as well as any couples who
were married in Holy Apostles Parish over the past
twenty-five years. There will
be the opportunity for the
renewal of vows as well as a
special blessing. Of the 269
couple who have been married
in our parish (as of yesterday),
a number still live in the
parish and I am counting on families and friends to
spread the word to others who may have moved
away.
It would be great to have a good
representation of couples join us on that day.
1- Adults of the Catholic faith who have not
received all the Sacraments of Initiation
2- Adults baptized in another faith who wish to
explore the Catholic church
3- Adults who belong to no particular church and
who wish to consider the Catholic church
It is important for those considering RCIA to know
that participating in the program requires weekly
participation at weekend Mass. Classes will begin
in the fall on a day and at a time (to be determined)
that will be convenient for all participants. Please
pay attention to the bulletin for the Inquiry Night
date.
Boys and Girls entering grade 4 and above
are eligible to become altar servers and
assist at weekend Mass and on special
occasions.
Altar serving is also a
wonderful way to get closer to Jesus.
Training will take place in the fall. Please
complete the form below and return it to
Monsignor as soon as possible.

In today’s second reading, St. Paul encourages us
not to grow weary or lose hart, but persevere in
following Jesus.
Our willingness to give of
ourselves, even in the face of conflict and division,
is one way to measure our discipleship.
Time and Talent - We wish to thank all those
parishioners who are always so willing to pitch in
and lend a helping hand. Their participation
contributes to the vibrancy of our community.
