Dear Friends in Christ,

As summer draws to a close we look ahead

to a busy autumn of programs and activities.

Family Fun Day is September 11 from 12-4.

We still need volunteers for set up, clean up

and to help out at the event. Family Fun Day

will include food, games for kids, raffle baskets,

religious education registration and a ministry

fair. Join us for a great afternoon of fellowship!

Religious Education begins September 26th

for Grades 1-10. We are in need of a Fifth

Grade catechist and several substitute

catechists. Training is available.

We will begin hosting Family Sundays at the

end of September. Once a month we will be

having a Mass geared towards children

followed by fellowship, teaching and activities

in the parish hall. Several parishioners have

formed a team to plan for these events. If you

would like to join us, we could gratefully use

your talents!

R.C.I.A. continues in the parish. We have

several children, teenagers and 1 adult who are

currently preparing to receive the Sacraments

of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. If you

or someone you know would like to enter the

Catholic Church or complete their Christian

initiation, please see Fr. Michael.

We ask God's blessing upon all children as

they return to school that this year may

increase in them knowledge and character. We

pray also for all of our families that their faith

in Christ may be vibrant and strong.

In Christ

Fr. Michael

Divine Mercy Minutes with Jesus

A Vessel for Graces Once, Jesus said to me, My gaze from this image is like My gaze from the cross (Diary, 326) I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You" St. Faustina's (Diary 327)
