Dear Parishioners,
Wow, Labor Day weekend already! Where did the summer go? If you are like me, you are probably thinking that the older you get, the faster time goes. It seems like only yesterday that we were celebrating Memorial Day, followed by July 4, but here we are at the end of August.
By now, families are already getting ready for the first day of school, and some have already begun the academic year. We wish all our young people the very best for a successful school year, be they entering kindergarten, college or any grade in between.
Please remember to register for Religious Education. I remind all parents of the requirement for regular ongoing formation of our young people. You cannot just attend when you need to prepare for a sacrament, but all the other years as well. Because of how expensive it has become to order books and supplies, this year there will be a substantial late fee applied to anyone who fails to register before the deadline, which is found elsewhere in the bulletin. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Once again, I invite any adult who may be interested in the OCIA Process (formerly RCIA) to please contact me as soon as possible. If you are over 18 and unbaptized, this process is for you. If you are baptized in another Christian Community (Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, etc.) and wish to embrace the Catholic Faith, this is for you; if you are an already baptized Catholic adult and never celebrated First Communion or Confirmation, this is for you! Please don’t be afraid to answer God’s call.
