PARISH BULLETIN |
Dear Parishioners: Thank you to all who have contributed to the new wall and windows in the Sanctuary. The windows have now been fully funded and many of you have given generously to help pay for the rest of the construction. Thank you. I believe the renovation will truly add to the beauty of our house of God. I hope that the Parish Picnic on August 29th is high on your priority list. Since it is so important for us to come to know one another, the food will be provided by the Parish. Please come if even for an hour or two. Have you been to 5:30 p.m. Mass recently? The music for the Liturgy is now under the direction of our new Pastoral Associate for music, Pat Kelly. I think that many of you will find it a true help in praying the Mass as a Parish Community. I would like to give a special invitation to the young of our Parish to attend this Mass - especially students and the young singles and married of our Parish. Sincerely, |
