Peace Be With You! Each time we gather for mass, we offer one another a greeting of peace following the Lord’s Prayer. We turn to strangers and friends alike to offer them the peace that Jesus brings. As you extend this sign of peace, please also consider offering the healing that Jesus brings. Be aware that some of our parishioners have frail or arthritic hands and a gentle hand shake is best (rather than a firm grasp). Also, if you have been coughing or sneezing, please consider not extending your hand – but just speaking the greeting with a smile. Thank you for your kindness and concern!
Youth Choir Practice Begins! It’s time once again for youth choir! Practices are Thurs. @ 7 PM and the choir will sing at Mass every 4 weeks. Our first practice will be Thurs., Sept. 14. All 5th – 12th grade youth are invited to join. Please contact Bill Whitley @ 926-1449 for more information, thanks!
