25th Anniversary Celebration
of the Foundation of Holy Apostles Parish
Mass of Thanksgiving
Sunday, July 24, 2016 at 11:00 AM
FROM THE PASTOR
Next weekend Holy Apostles Church will reach a great milestone as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary
of the parish. Established on July 25, 1991, the Feast of St. James, the Apostle, Holy Apostles began with about
300 families gathering for Sunday Mass at Alpine Country Club. That same month, Bishop Gelineau joined the
first members to bless a field on the corner of Scituate Avenue and Pippin Orchard Road that would become the
future home of the new parish. Soon, the growing parish community moved into warehouse space on Plainfield
Pike. Many founding members of the parish speak fondly and tell many stories of the “warehouse years”.
Remarkably, on just the third anniversary of the parish, our beautiful church was completed and dedicated.
Within ten years the parish Community Life Center and gym were dedicated to accommodate religious
education, youth ministry and many other programs and parish activities for people of all ages. It is a
remarkable story of growth and accomplishment that was only possible because of the dedicated, hard-working
staff members and a growing community of parishioners who were extremely generous with both their talent
and their resources to make it all happen. When I came to Holy Apostles as Pastor two years ago, I told you
that I looked forward to continuing to build on the great tradition and strong foundation of this parish. As time
has gone by, I appreciate more and more what an extraordinary parish it is. I continue to be truly grateful for
the opportunity to serve in such a pastorally and spiritually vibrant parish.
Please join us for our Anniversary Mass of Thanksgiving next Sunday, July 24, at 11:00 AM. It
will be a great opportunity for us to gather in prayer and gratitude to God for the many blessings of the past
twenty-five years. Several priests who have been associated with the parish over the years plan to join us for
the celebration. Following the Mass, all are invited to a reception in the parish gym. While you are
enjoying some refreshments, you can check out photos of various events and activities from over the
years…I’m sure many will enjoy going down Memory Lane and reminiscing. We also have a number of photos
on the bulletin boards in the corridor leading to the Community Life Center. Take a few moments to check
them out….perhaps you will find yourself or old friends in the pictures. I would also point out that there is an
interesting history of the parish on our website, www.holyapostles.com. Reading it may bring back memories
and for newer parishioners it is a great way to learn about the first quarter-century. As we reflect on the past,
we also look forward to the future and we ask the Lord to guide and assist us as our history continues to unfold
in the days and years ahead.
Msgr. Theroux

STEWARDSHIP
“Thought of the Week”
Today’s readings speak of hospitality. Abraham,
who cheerfully did for his guests all that desert
hospitality required, was rewarded with his heart’s
desire – a son. Martha also busied herself with all
the details of hospitality, but grudgingly and with
complaint. Am I a cheerful or a grudging giver?
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.
Treasure – Thank you for your financial support.
CATHOLIC CHARITY FUND APPEAL
Holy Apostles’ Goal:
$145,000.00
Amount Collected as of 7/12: $154,452.00

throughout Rhode Island who look to the Charity
Fund for assistance.

Remembering our deceased loved ones is
a long-standing custom in the Roman Catholic
Church. In addition to offering personal and public
prayers, especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
the church also uses a Necrology.
A Necrology is a listing of those who have died
within a certain period of time.
