Dear Friends,
This weekend we celebrate the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time. In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to “take courage” and to “not be afraid.” The opposite of fear is courage, but to have courage we must first have faith. Faith comes through prayer and worship.
We now have new office hours at the parish office for St. Ann’s, St. Joseph’s, and St. Mary’s. New office hours will be Monday thru Thursday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and Friday 8:00 am to 3:00 pm.
For those who would like to enter into the Catholic Church, the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) will begin on Wednesday, September 23rd. If you know of anyone interested in joining our faith community, please encourage them to sign up through our parish website or call the parish office.
If you have not already signed up to have your photo taken for the parish directory, please do so. The directory helps us to get to know one another and is extremely helpful to me personally as there is just one of me and many of you! If for personal reasons you would not like your address or phone number in the directory, you have the option at the time of your photo to let us know and we will not include it.
Peace and Blessings,
Father Chris
