On Our Way With Jesus: Each year our Parish invites parents who want to continue their
commitment to the Faith Development of their children to prepare them for the Sacraments of
Reconciliation and Eucharist. Our Catechetical team is prepared to assist parents who choose
to bring their children into a more complete experience of God’s love in our lives. Registra-
tion forms are available now at the Parish office. Please pick them up now or on the week-
end after Mass. The program will begin on the week after Thanksgiving. We cannot accept
people after we have started. Please register now.
ANNUAL PARISH SUPPER: The Pastoral Council has begun discussions about the annual Parish Supper
in June. We are blessed with “many , many workers” yet, we are seeing a consistent drop in the number
of people coming to the supper. Our parishioner's particularly do not seem to see this as an opportunity to
be together and build community. Perhaps we need to “attract” people with a few activities to add interest
to the day. Perhaps you would like to suggest an idea to the Pastoral Council members, the Supper Commit-
tee or the Parish Staff. Thank you for the suggestions to date! KEEP THEM COMING!
