Letter for August 31, 2008
Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

Dear Parishioners:

Yesterday, I stopped at Walmart for a few necessary items & passing by the school supplies department I felt drawn to buy a pack of notebook paper of 150 count for 50 cents. What a bargain! For many of you these past few weeks have had many tasks of shopping for school supplies, new uniforms, school clothes, new book bags and the like…
There has been anticipation for many, both parents & students of a new school, new teachers and new friends! Beginning school is something that really has an effect upon all of us.

Your parish is no different. We are gearing up this fall for a wonderful new year of PSR, Life Teen, God Squad, RCIA, Bible Studies and a new program, Inviting Catholics Home. I want to thank the 100’s of volunteers who help make all of this possible and a special Thank You to Beth Rado our DRE, Fr. Thom coordinator of Life Teen, Paul Bukovesky coordinator of God Squad, Deacon Bob with RCIA.

But most of all, this back to school time is a reminder to all of our parents that you are the first the primary educators of your children in the ways of the faith. The staff here, your priests, deacons and catechists are only here to assist you in that awesome responsibility of handing on the faith to the next generation.

The best way we hand on our faith is by our good example. Faith is more caught...than taught. By living our faith in the Lord...the master of teachers, imitating Him we pass on the light of faith.

Of other things:

Have a Blessed Labor Day tomorrow & please don’t labor on it if you can.

Mass will be in the Pavilion at 9AM (weather permitting).

Remember: PSR’s official first class is on the 14th of September.

Meet the Teacher’s on the 7th of September.

God Bless You All!!

Fr. Dave
