IN OUR PARISH

Remember, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary comes on 7 October, which is Tuesday of this week.  To celebrate it, we will pray the different official mysteries throughout the day.  After the 8:00 a.m. Mass I will lead the Sorrowful Mysteries.  The school children will lead us in the Joyful Mysteries at 11:00 a.m. and in the Glorious Mysteries at 2:45 p.m.   Finally, the regular rosary group will lead us in the Luminous Mysteries at 7:00 p.m.   All rosaries will be prayed in the church.  Every devotion is not for everyone, but I invite you to participate in some or all of our observance of this feast.  Let us continue to deepen our prayer life, both individually and as a parish.   

WE WELCOME    to our parish family through baptism:  Elizabeth Grace Perkins, daughter of Cliff & Stephanie; Mario Lebron Litmer, son of Amber Litmer and Mario Chandler.  May this be the beginning of a life filled with God's mercy, grace and love, and a future blessed with happiness and hope.
