A Message from Father Peter
– September 10th The One or More Needed
It’s that time of the year and our faith formation (Grades 1-8) is about to begin. Anita Modelewski and her valiant staff of one – Ellen Levanti – are hard at work organizing class rosters, registrations for late comers, and the program calendar.
A small number of additional volunteer teachers are needed! This is a noble calling! So many parents find it impossible to instruct their own children. How much of a gift to the church it is when a qualified adult offers to teach the children of others. Please Pray and Reflect as God answers you to step forward this year!
On a mundane note, we have sold about 210 tickets for our booster club. Last year we sold 300! Have you purchased it this time around?
A Message from Father Peter
– September 3rd The New Year Begins!
The “New Year” begins about now for many of us! Schools open, fiscal year’s results are tallied, new projects begin. Your parish is no exception.
Right now, our Parish Center – Lower Church – is getting its annual floor treatment. A new spirit is taking hold all around.
Our Eucharistic Revival is on track, the pilgrimage is a go! And last but not least, our Parish Picnic is set to be the best ever. As the old saying goes, “See you in Church!”
You will actually be touched by the Lord’s love.
