26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
This liturgy points out that there must be a connection between what we say and what we do.
If regular Sunday church going is not accompanied by upright Christian living, what we profess to believe has no value.
We are uttering words but are not changing our hearts.
Location of 10:30 Mass
The Parish Council is accepting feedback about the location of the
10:30 Mass until the end of September. (If you wish to keep the 10:30
Mass at the school please be sure to indicate if you are willing and
committed to help with set up).At our first meeting in October we will
review all letters and make a final decision. The 10:30 Mass will
remain at the church for the month of September (and until a final
decision is made), as Fr. Wes is on Holidays for most of Sept.
Please get your signed letters in to the office by email, fax or through the collection basket. Thank You!
Thank you to those who have re-registered
I know there are more of you out there!
To help us obtain a more accurate account of our parishioners we are asking that all families fill out a
registration form

have the form filled out please drop it in the collection basket.
