——– FROM THE PASTOR ——–
I’m sure you have noticed a few changes this weekend. As you can see, we have a new look with our Sunday Bulletin. Please note that today’s bulletin lists our new email address for the rectory office and a link to our new parish website. Our new website is still a work in progress and our former website is still online for now.
Last week many parishioners noticed that the fence on the side of the church has been modified and the fence in front of the church has been removed. We are planning to clean up the front entrance of the church with some new brick work, especially around the area for our new Mary statue. The new Mary statue should be erected by August so that we can have a dedication and blessing of the statue on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15th.
This week I was informed by our Dean that my Installation Mass will be on Sunday, August 11th at 9am. More information will follow soon.
Please pray for Baby Alexsandra Morris who recently passed away. She is the daughter of Chad Morris and Sandra Lloyd
This week our nation celebrates Independence Day. I hope you have a safe and relaxing Fourth of July Holiday.
Fr. Dave
