PARISH NURSE NEWS
The Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group will be meeting on Tuesday, August 25th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm in Ruocco Rooms 5 and 6. The group is open to those caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease or a related dementia. By sharing caregiving experiences, participants gain a sense of empowerment and often feel less burdened by their caregiving responsibilities. In addition, through education and mutual support, caregivers learn strategies to handle aspects of the disease which are controllable and let go of those which are not. For more information, please call the Parish Nurse Office.

REGISTRATION for 2009/ 2010
The deadline to register for next year’s YFM Program has come and gone. Please return your completed registration form if you have not done so already. Also, kindly remind your neighbors and friends that we are still awaiting YFM registration forms.

Our Tuesday evening youth group continues to meet each week at 7pm in St. Andrew’s Hall on the second floor of St. Catherine’s Convent. All high school students are welcome to join us. Doors open at 6pm. This meeting has been a great success with 20 to 25 students attending weekly. We are always looking for new high school members.
Service Project - ISAIAH 54

Dear friends-
Thank you for your comments regarding the sound system. From what I heard, most people seem to think that the sound is much improved, so I think we will move forward to a more permanent set up. Keep in mind that once a permanent system is installed, we will continue to “tweak” the system in the hopes of getting a much better end result. Thank you for your patience and your support as we continue to make improvements to our church building.
Fr. James, our visitor from Ghana, who spoke at the Masses last weekend, was most grateful for your kindness to him and for your generosity. We realized over $3,000 to assist the church in that part of the world.
Most of us will never have the opportunity to go to a foreign country to preach the Word of God or to alleviate some of the poverty and oppression that people in those countries live with all their lives. Our prayers and donations are the way most of us are able to help.
Thank you for your concern for others.
We have been approached by an organization called “Big Hearted Books”. This organization collects books; DVDs; CDs; records; cassettes; and VHS tapes. 85% of the materials are given to charities; 5% are recycled: and 10% are used to cover operational expenses. They cannot take encyclopedias; magazines; newspapers or books that contain mold.
The objectives of this group seem to be very good, so in the near future we will have one of their bins placed on the property, so that you can make donations. In the meantime, you might want to put aside the needed donations, and as soon as we receive the bin you will be able to drop off these items.
Have a pleasant week as we wind down these days of summer.
Fr. Culloty
