I was back at U of M yesterday for more incisions and stitches to close my wound and bring my head back together.  The procedure was deemed a success but I need to wear the three rows of heavy stitches for 2-3 weeks until all of the skin bonds together.  Thank you for the continued prayers and support.  By the beginning of August I should be able to put this whole melanoma ordeal behind me once and for all. 

100 kids are signed up.  There is still room for more.  If you have pre-k thru 6th grade children, grandchildren or neighbors that are not signed up, you can do so using the link below or register at the door on Monday morning.  VBS runs Monday – Friday, 9am – 12:15pm with a free hotdog picnic on the last day. 

If you took a donation tag and did not turn in your item, this is your last chance.  Please bring all tags and donated items and place them in the bins at Church when you come for Mass.   Thank you to all of our staff and volunteers and donors – to all who come together to make this happen year after year.

During the week of VBS, the Monday and Friday daily Masses for the parish will be at 8am instead of 9am so I can be part of the opening festivities each day. 

Jesus gave you three hours on the cross that changed everything for everyone.  Give him one hour a week and see how he changes your life and your heart.  We need adorers to fill these openings: 

ONLY ONE MORE TO GO:

Thursday at 3am

Contact the parish office if you will cover it.  

SPEAKING OF THE CHAPEL, IT IS OFTEN THE CASE DURING THE SATURDAY 5PM MASS THAT PEOPLE COMING FOR MASS ARE TAKING UP ALL THE PARKING SPOTS BEHIND THE BUILDING THAT ARE ‘RESERVED FOR CHAPEL ADORERS.’  MANY OF OUR ADORERS ARE ELDERLY AND IT IS A HARDSHIP FOR THOSE COVERING THE HOURS WHEN MASSES ARE HAPPENING IF THEY HAVE TO PARK AT THE END OF THE LOT, ESPECIALLY IN BAD WEATHER.  IF YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR THE CHAPEL, DO NOT PARK IN CHAPEL SPOTS.  

266 have signed up.  That means we need to sign up another 435 persons or families to beat the 2018 record!

Volunteers will be present at Church after the Masses this weekend to get you signed up.  

Some equipment has been put in the parking lot for the replacement of the flat roofs of the sacristy and all spaces behind the altar.  This will plug many leaks that occur during heavy rain.  Pardon our dust.  Thank you Charlie Dunigan and North-Ply!

We are also working with Cochran Electric to add more lighting on the Carlton patio and the parish office parking lot.  This is financed by a private donor.
