Dear friends—
As we approach Labor Day next week, the level of activity here at the parish is increasing. Hopefully, if you have children in our parish religious education program you have received and returned your child’s registration form. Judy Miley and Frank Connell are assembling class lists and we want to be sure that there is a space and a teacher for every student. If you have not returned a registration form, please try to do so as quickly as possible. If you need a form, please contact the parish office.
Again we remind you that our parish picnic will be held on Sept. 27. We will begin right after the 11am Mass. There will be activities for our younger parishioners and a chance for our “older” parishioners to relax and socialize with fellow parishioners. (lest I get into trouble by my choice of words, by older parishioners I mean anyone over 21). There are some opportunities to help with the day. We can always use donations of salads and desserts as well as people to do set up and clean up. A list of volunteer opportunities, as well as a sign up sheet for attendance, will be available at the entrance to the church for the next few weeks.
Please consider how you might be able to help with our varied ministries here at our parish. On the weekend of Sept. 12 & 13 we will have a brief presentation about different volunteer opportunities as well as sign up sheets. I know that our parish is an important part of the lives of so many people. If we have sufficient volunteers, it makes the parish so much more alive and enables us to offer more programs and opportunities for spiritual growth. We are told in the Scriptures that God has given different people different gifts. Please consider sharing your “gift” with our parish family.
Fr. Culloty
