“FRIENDSHIP-FELLOWSHIP” LUNCHEON

We will always be here for you. Please join us for a catered luncheon by “Joy”. The cost is only $10.00 and does require a reservation. Sign-up sheets are located in the back of church. Won’t you mark your calendars and join us for a relaxed hour or two. NEXT LUNCHEON IS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 15 AT 11:30 AM.

The Vestry will meet Tuesday, September 16th, starting at 7 PM in the Parish Center. All parishioners are invited to attend this important parish function.

FAMILY MASS

All of us want to reach out to families in our parish and day school and encourage them to be a stronger part of our parish life. On September 7th we began a Special Family Mass at 9 am each week with a special children’s liturgy. This will necessitate a 15-minute shift in our Mass times to 7:45 am and 10:15 am. Thank you for your understanding and encouragement!

Opportunities for Giving

Thank you for your support of our food pantry. At this time we still need peanut butter, crackers, soup, snacks, and small boxes of cereal with small cans of evaporated milk. We thank you for your generosity
