The weekend of July 23 & 24, you heard a brief presentation describing the planning process and challenges we face as a deanery will be made at each of the weekend masses.
In order to provide an opportunity for you to participate and provide input on the planning process, the following items are below:
These materials are being distributed through this e-mailing and also posted on the parish and school web sites. Paper copies are available in both the back of the church and in the parish office.
I urge each of you to review the materials and participate in the survey response process. This is our chance to provide input to this very important process for our community.

Father Ladislaus
Thank you to everyone who has supported Father Ladislaus. We have collected almost half of what is needed to help with the completion of the Parish Staff House. It is a big project and
they can still use more funds, so if you didn't get a chance to donate, we will continue to collect donations until Father goes back to Uganda. There are special envelopes in the pews or you can contact the Parish office to make a donation.
We will also have another coffee and donuts in the courtyard Sunday, August 28th with proceeds going to this project.

Did you get out of the city last week to stargaze during the Perseid meteor shower? See if you can read these lyrics without the melody springing to mind :-)
We Will Rise Again
, by David Haas
Like a shepherd I will feed you; I will gather you with care.
I will lead you and hold you close to my heart.
Refrain:
We will run and not grow weary, for our God will be our strength,
and we will fly like the eagle, we will rise again.
I am strength to the weary; to the weak I am new life.
Though the young may grow weary, I will be their hope.
Refrain
Lift up your eyes, and see who made the stars.
I lead you, and I know you, I call you each by name.
Refrain
Fear not, I am with you; I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; uphold you with my hand.
Refrain
If you have a prayer nugget you'd like to share with the parish, email Bill Marty,
