Dear Partners in Ministry,
Greetings from my local library, where I'm feeling grateful that they let folks come in, charge devices, and get work done. I know many of you have been affected by the storms that rolled through yesterday, and I hope all of you are safe and sound and that life returns to normal for you soon.
Power is out at Saint Noel as of this writing; stay tuned on Facebook for any updates involving tomorrow.
Peace be with you,
Tony
ALL MINISTRIES
We celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary next Thursday, August 15. Our Masses will be celebrated Wednesday the 14th at 7:00 p, and Thursday at 8:30 a. There are many unfilled ministry positions for both Masses, so please consider visiting MSP and lending a hand. Music Ministry is welcome to join me for either Mass; we'll rehearse 30 minutes beforehand.
