Dear friends— Summer has finally arrived—it seems. Although it was late in coming, these last few days have been rather toasty for all of us. Even though it is hot, I’m conscious of the fact that we are now more than halfway through the month of August. Many college students have already left for school and some grammar and high schools will be starting classes before the end of the month. Soon we will see many familiar faces returning to church—folks who are lucky enough to have a “get- away” spot. It is great to welcome those people back— we do miss them when they are away. I know that these are the weeks when people begin to put their schedules together for the fall and winter months. Sometimes the amount of activities and tasks that need to be attended to can be almost overwhelming. I want to put in a plug for our parish needs. In a couple of weeks—Sept. 12 & 13-- we will be having our annual parish ministry recruitment weekend. That is the weekend when we ask you to consider whether or not you can give some of your time and talent to help our parish run more efficiently. Each year a number of people who have served our parish in different capacities have to withdraw their service due to different factors. Some people move away, others have changes in job schedules, young people who served Mass or sang in the choir go off to schools away from here and can no longer be involved. We need people who are willing to take a more active role in parish life. There are needs for altar servers and choir members— young and old. We can use Religious Education teachers and people willing to help others prepare to receive the Sacraments of the church. We have opportunities to help further social justice and grow in faith. At this time of the year, we ask people who might be considering joining the Catholic Church to think about being part of our RCIA (Rite of Christian Intitiation for Adults) program. Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers are always welcome. Before you get overly committed to other programs and activities, I would ask you to prayerfully consider how you can help to keep our parish alive and growing by means of your participation. Again, on the weekend of Sept. 12 and 13, our needs will be explained more fully and you will be invited to sign up. Please keep in mind that Sept. 27 will be the date of our annual parish picnic. It will begin at noon that day and is a wonderful opportunity to renew old friendships and to make new friends. Fr.
