“It was an enjoyable time last Saturday at the Pork Burger Sale with all the wonderful people who helped out. I thank you for your efforts. So maybe all you wonderful volunteers can come back together on Saturday, September 12 for a clean up/work day here at the parish. We need to spruce up the grounds for Chamois Day, and spiff up the hall/classrooms for the start of PSR. I especially ask PSR parents to come help clean up/prepare your child’s classroom.
“Then on Sunday, September 13, we can all meet in Starkenburg for the Fall Pilgrimage. Lunch, Stations of the Cross, an opportunity for Confession, and Mass at the outdoor Altar all make for a lovely day given to the Lord.”…Fr. Dave
