From Our Pastor
My dear friends in Christ,
On Monday we celebrated the funeral Mass for Kevin B. Sutton who was the husband of Sharon (Nolley) Sutton of our parish. He loved the outdoors and was well respected at Hoosier Uplands where he worked. Kevin was a wonderful husband, father figure, relative and friend, who will be greatly missed. Let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
After many suggestions from our parents and much consultation including from our parish council, we have decided to return our religious education classes to Wednesdays. The young children will be meeting after school on Wednesdays at 3:30 to 4:30, while the high school students will continue to attend on Wednesday evenings 7:00 to 8:15. When we moved the classes to Sunday mornings, we did loose a number of students. My desire is to have as many attending as possible and I do plan to continue to be directly involved in the Religious Education Program. This is an integral part of parish life and our youth are the future of the church. For that reason, Paula Ringwald and Mark Potts are key people who assist me in this most important challenge. Our public schools in the area have for some time now, set aside Wednesdays for church services and I think it is wise that we once again take advantage of this opportunity. For those who are unable to attend on Wednesday after school we will make arrangements for them at another time. I will help instruct these students so they will not be left out. There will be more specifics in the weeks to follow. We just wanted to share this with you as soon as possible. I trust this will meet with your approval. I pray that Almighty God will bless this change and bring about good results.
I am sure that you have already noticed the bright and inviting new sign on our parish center crafted by Sandy Woods. It includes the parish logo and gives the Center an uplift. We are very grateful to Sandy!
May the Lord bless and keep you,
Father Walker.
