Dear Friends,
​
It is exciting to have our school children back in our buildings again (although I wish the weather for the first week of school had not been so warm). To celebrate and welcome everyone back we’ll have hospitality in front of church after the 9:30 and 11am Masses this weekend. This will also give parishioners a chance to meet the Principals of our Schools.

Our Religious Education catechists met last week as we prepare to welcome our RE students back to class in our building as well, beginning Tuesday evening the 12th. I am grateful to Fr. Klavins for working with Lori to help oversee the RE program, while serving as a catechist for our Confirmation Level II students.
​
We will have short talks after the Masses this weekend from parishioners who have taken part in our parish ALPHA program. The next session starts on September 6th, and we look forward to gathering with a new group of parishioners, neighbors and friends to explore issues of faith and meaning over a meal. I encourage you to block out your Wednesday evenings this Fall so that you can take part in this.

Tickets for the September 30th Kenned and Carl concert are on sale. Last year’s event in the auditorium was a lot of fun, and this year’s promises to be as well. We’ll have a raffle connected with the concert and dinner available in the hall beforehand. See the bulletin for more information.


 May your week reflect the encounter with Christ
  we experienced at Mass today
