Dear Partners in Ministry,
Somehow, it's almost September. This weekend, we begin the final stretch of Ordinary Time and look forward to several major celebrations in the coming weeks, including our Parish Feast Day Masses (Oct 19–20), All Saints, All Souls, Thanksgiving Day, and Christ the King. I'm working on the final touches to the revised Mass of Encounter, which we'll re-introduce to the parish this weekend with the Alleluia and Lamb of God (I need some help with this, by the way; see below).
Peace be with you,
Tony
ALL MINISTRIES
Volunteers Needed Friday Afternoon
I'm in need of three to five volunteers to help me insert the music packets for Mass of Encounter into the front cover of the Breaking Bread missal covers. The work involves going through each pew, inserting the music packet, making sure that the books are still in decent shape, and straightening up as needed. I figured on starting at 1:00 pm. If you can lend a hand, please let me know. Thanks!
Labor Day
In observance of Labor Day (Monday, Sep 2), our regular daily Mass will move to 9:00 am in the chapel. The parish office will be closed that day.
EMHCs
Revised Guidelines for Eucharistic Ministries
Since our sessions with our EMHCs a few weeks ago, we've made some small but notable tweaks to the guidelines for this ministry. You can download a revised PDF, including the floor map you've seen at the welcome table, by clicking here.
MUSIC MINISTRY
November Music Selections
November music selections have been added to the song sheets for the Fall (link below). I'll add All Souls Day and Thanksgiving Day later on.
Cantor Night Next Thursday (Sep 5)
Cantors assemble! Next Thursday, we'll tackle psalms for September and October, work on the Gospel verses for Mass of Encounter, and generally enjoy each other's company.
