PARISH BULLETIN |
Dear Parishioners, The reaction to the Sanctuary Windows has been over-whelming. It has been one positive comment after another. I truly believe that the windows will constantly remind us of Gods great love for all of us and that we are called to be a light to the world. Special thanks go to many people for making the windows possible: Sister Ita, for telling me of her dream Brian Bucher, the architect Bill Portman, the contractor Bruce, John, Dan and other skilled craftsmen who made it possible Nick Lucas, for the magnificent glass All who contributed money to help beautify our Church In the near future, an appropriate plaque will be put in place. Sincerely, |

MASS MUSINGS |
"The Sacredness of Gathering" I know of a parish in which, when the entrance song is sung, I want to jump up on the pew and holler because Im so excited to be part of the Church worshipping God today. I know of a parish in which, when the entrance song is sung, I begin to weep because the glorious sound of believers praising Jesus makes me believe all over again. I know of a parish in which, when the entrance song is sung, friends who have never before been to a Catholic Christian liturgy stand between amazement and joy because theyve never before experienced a community so ALIVE! I know a parish when the entrance song is sung. |
