16th Sunday Ordinary Time
Published on 19 July 2008 •
Dear Friends in Christ,
Last week many of you had your pictures taken for our next Pictorial Directory. The timing was not the best because some people were on vacation or work prevented some of you from participating. I want to give special thanks to Mary Fogarty and Annie for heading up this project. It is a great way to put names to faces you see at Mass.
I will be gone next weekend. I have another meeting of the National Board for Engaged Encounter. My term is coming to an end this year but some great things have been happening. We are updating the whole weekend, which has been needed. We are also involved in giving input to the Bishop’s imitative on Marriage which is moving ahead. They have a website and are preparing a pastoral letter as well as identifying good resources and programs that can be used in parishes.
This week we are having Vacation Bible School and I am impressed with the energy and enthusiasm of those working on the program. Danette Lanzafami is heading up the program. Please keep the teachers and children in your prayers this week.
Blessings to all,
