Picnic Weekend

Welcome to all who are joining us for our annual Parish Picnic.  Nothing shows off the fellowship and enjoyment of our community like the picnic.  Many thanks to the legions of volunteers who make this possible, from the School Band that leads the parade to the crew here till late on Saturday cleaning the streets after it is all over.  Truly a celebration of our community spirit.

Mass in the Grass

Each year the Stewardship Committee sponsors a “Mass in the Grass” to symbolically bring Christ into the world.  The outdoor Mass will be at 5:00 pm on October 18 in the field across from the church.  Bring a chair or blanket and join our celebration.

Eucharistic Adoration

In the busy-ness of our world, it is amazing how quickly we lose track of time and get distracted by so many things.  How about hitting the “pause” button once in a while and just being alone with the Lord, even for a few minutes?  Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the church for quiet prayer and peaceful communion with Christ.  Come and spend a few minutes.

• Running an errand?  How about stopping by the church for a moment of prayer?
• Picking up the kids from school?  Come a few minutes early and sit in the quiet presence of the Lord
• A little extra time?  Consider taking a hour to watch with Christ…sign in in the back of Church and help be sure each hour is covered.
• On your way home from work?  Drop the stress off in church praying before going home.

Building Bright Futures

Please consider a pledge to the campaign if you have not done so.  We are quickly approaching the point where final drawings will have to be completed and we are trying to not exceed our ability to cover the costs of the project.  I wish every parish family would participate in some way to help us complete this portion of the campaign.
