Our Faithfully United campaign is off to a great start, and we are all grateful for the generous response to date. Please consider our initiative and do what you can. As I said in my homily last weekend, “we are looking for mustard seeds … It takes a lot of seeds to make a jar of mustard -- but Faithfully United we can build up our parish, enabling us not only to continue our good works, but also to make a greater difference in our community and the families whom we serve.” Questions on the campaign can be directed to Patti Dickens, and questions on WeShare should be directed to Fran DeMuria.
Our brick campaign is also going strong. Bricks can be ordered on line or through Patti Dickens. There is plenty of time to think about this project as we will not do the work until next summer.
This weekend many of us are traveling, enjoying what has become really the last weekend of the local summer as we prepare for the fall weather ahead. I hope everyone travels well and safely and enjoys these beautiful days.
All is going well here so far. School is progressing well and the fall religious education programs are also off to a good start.
This weekend the Knights of Columbus are holding a blood-drive in the gym. Even if you did not preregister you are welcome to walk-in and donate a pint of blood for the blood bank. As always, the need for blood and plasma is great given the population in our area. Thank you for your generous support and to the Knights for taking on this important program.
I hope everyone has a blessed week ahead, Father Garry
