Dear Friends, Thank you, Father Tim, on your marvelous presentation on the Columban missions last Sunday. I was told that our second col- lection was almost as big as our first. Thank you, one and all, for your support of the Columban’s missions throughout the world. Welcome Father Tom! Father Tom was born and raised in The City, went to school in The City, before becoming a Missionary of Africa, formerly know as the White Fathers. Father Tom worked in Zambia for 24 years before retiring to the Community’s Mother House in Washington D.C. Father Tom will be with us until mid August. When you read this I will be in San Diego at the Steubenville Conference with 25 of our young people. Thank you for supporting our Youth Ministry Pro- gram, especially our recently held Golf Tournament, for making this possible. Father Sebastian will be here on Thursday, August 17th, to celebrate the 10 o’clock Mass. Father Sebastian founded the male branch of the Missionaries of Charity and was a close friend of Mother Teresa. After Mass, there will be a talk on Mother, some Q and A, followed by a reception. I hope as many of you can make this Mass and talk as possible. School starts on august 17th, What happened to Summer ??!! There will be a second collection this weekend for SVDP. As you have in the past, I know you will be generous. Have a Great Week!
