      “It was good seeing all our PSR kids at Mass all smiling and full of energy and many of our parents. Because of the fine volunteers we have, I’m sure it will be another great program. However, PSR is a PARISH School of Religion. It is all of us together who support Catholic Education. Therefore, we can’t sit back and just leave everything to those few volunteers. We invite all parishioners, especially parents, to help and support our program. Classrooms need to be cleaned, prepared, and decorated throughout the year. Substitutes and even aides (if the teacher desires) are needed and welcome - volunteer to do an art project once in awhile. Bring and share snacks (when appropriate). Be sure your kids are here on time and picked up on time. Thanks for all your help and support.
     “We will be having our annual Living Rosary next Sunday morning for the Month of Mary. We will begin about 10 minutes to 8. Please make a little effort to come early next week, but even if you come at 8, you will still be able to participate in a part of the rosary, and Mass will immediately follow.”…Fr. Dave

Catechetical Sunday - This Sunday, Sept. 28, we will celebrate those who serve our parishes by bringing the Word of God into the hearts of others.  We thank the following who will be commissioned during this Mass:  Nick Schollmeyer (kindergarten-grade 1),   Julie Keilholz (grade 2), Roxy Wuelling (grades 3-4), Joyce Wright (grades 5-6), Fr. Dave (grades 7-12).
