The vision of our former Pastor, Father Michael, has come to fruition! Posts supporting the portico adorning All Saints Church's main entrance have been replaced with wood from trees near the Fife-Milton Community Food Bank at St. Martin of Tours. Parishioners from each campus collaborated on transporting logs to a local sawmill. After drying at All Saints, the wood was painted and installed this week. We are so thankful that a piece of St. Martin of Tours lives on at All Saints!

Thank you to all who visited St. Martin of Tours on Sunday, May 24, for Masses on Pentecost, which concludes the Easter season. The altar area inside church was decorated for this special Solemnity to honor the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and the birthday of the Catholic Church. Let us "be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18) and proclaim the Gospel today and always!
