Next Weekend’s Collection for the Church

in Central & Eastern Europe For those living in Central and Eastern Europe, re-building in the wake of 70 years of Soviet rule is a constant struggle. Often, people face poverty, infre-quent pastoral care, and lack of spaces for worship, presenting challenges as they try to live lives of faith. Your support of the Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) next week-end, helps provide grants for projects to restore the Church and build the future in these areas.

SPECIAL NEEDS MASS

SPONSORSHIP

We are so excited about our upcoming FEAST!

In order to put together a wonderful experience for all, there are many costs involved and as you know we lost a whole day last year due to bad weather. In order to help off-set some of the costs we are offering a SPONSORSHIP program. Any parish-ioner or local merchant who has a business or would like to sponsor a booth in their family name may do so. The price to be a sponsor ranges from $100-$1,000, depending on the size of the space and includes a printed sign with the information you pro-vide us.

Kick Off Family Mass You are invited to attend our regular 11:30 am Mass on September 11th to celebrate the start of the new school year.

The Religious Education Office

will resume on September 6th. The telephone num-ber is: 201-567-4781.
