Dear Parishioners, When summer begins, it seems like you have so much time. Then when Labor Day weekend is on the calendar, one wonders what happened to summer? I guess summer seemed to go so quickly for us at the parish as we had a lot of repairs and projects to complete. Also, a lot of time and effort went into planning and hosting Vacation Bible School after a couple of years off. Now that school has begun, it’s time for us to enter our fall programming schedule which will officially kick off next weekend. Faith Formation classes will start and, of course, don’t forget about our Annual Parish Picnic from Noon-3:00 pm next Sunday. Since Fr. Tom is new to the parish, I think it’s his turn to pray for good weather next weekend, especially so he can take a ride in the bounce house! Regardless of the weather, we will have tents in the parking lot by the Stanley Centre and the gym will be open as well. Please join us for this special time together as a parish community. Thanks for reading! Fr. Mark
