Dear Partners in Ministry,
Just a few reminders to pass along this week...
August 15: Assumption
Tuesday, August 15, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, a holy day. I always love company, so please feel free to join me in ministry for the Vigil Mass (Monday, Aug. 14) at 7 pm or the morning Mass Tuesday at 8:30 am.
August 20: 40 years in our sacred space!
Our beautiful worship space finally welcomed in an eager parish on August 21, 1983; I know several of you were there for the occasion. We'll celebrate the 40th anniversary of that milestone the weekend of August 19/20, and with a parish picnic that Sunday afternoon. Check out the bulletin and Fr. Terry's letter for more information.
Rehearsals Resume August 17
Finally, a reminder that we're back to the weekly routine as of August 17; let's count on 7-9 each week with early dismissals whenever we're able to do so.
