I hope things are going well with you and your family. Can you believe that we are already at the end of August? Many of you will be planning for the Labor Day weekend soon. Where can we go? That’s the question. So far, we are so blessed with the weather, and knock on wood, we haven’t had to deal with any serious hurricanes yet. So far this year, it seems to be that Mother Nature has changed her course of direction to hit the East coast in places like Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Philadelphia, New York, etc. Besides flooding, many residents have been damaged by fallen trees and loss of power. Hopefully things will get better for them and they will get back to normal soon. It is so hard to deal with natural disasters while still dealing with the corona virus and all of its many guidelines. How can you evacuate people and put them all in the same building with masks, constant sanitizing and social distancing? In the meantime, the kids, teachers, and staff are all going back to school again, and have to face these same rules, regulations and guidelines. How can they avoid this contagious virus? We are all living in a challenging situation right now and I’m not talking about just in America, but all over the world. Let’s pray that God will help us to find a solution soon so that we can go back to the way it used to be, or close to it. Back to our parish business, CCD registration has begun, and is still going on this Sunday. Just a reminder, if you have children or grandchildren who want to attend this program, they need to register. And yes, we have to abide by all of the guidelines for COVID19. We are in need of a few new teachers. If you are interested in helping us in this ministry, please let us know, or contact Ms. NormaJean Medina at 6007877. All High School students who are planning to make Confirmation in 2021 must also register. If you are entering the 9th grade, now is the time to register for CCD so that you can receive the Sacrament in the 11th grade.
