Dear Friends,
My grandmother Margaret Brady (1880-1984) was a schoolteacher. She helped form The Study Club in East Rochester in 1907 for women like herself who wanted to continue growing in their education. I attended one of their meetings at my grandmother's house when I stayed overnight there as a kid. It was about 1953. There were about 25 women in her living room that night. (The living room was extra large because the house was the Harry J. Brady Funeral Home and people came to pay their respects in that room.) Surprisingly, The Study Club is still going after 111 years. One of our parishioners, Lois Topolski, is a member. Lois invited me to speak at their meeting this week. They want to hear my memories of Grandma Brady and the earlier days of The Study Club.
We begin our 20th year of Religious Education with a Family Mass on Saturday, September 22,
at 5 pm, followed by a Pot Luck Dinner in Celebration Hall. Come and hear our new Religious Education Director, Siobhan Potter, preach at the Mass. She says, "My job is a dream come true for me. I couldn't be happier!" Religious Ed classes begin the following week, on Sunday, September 30. Please call Siobhan to register your child. It's a fantastic program.
Do you have a child you would like baptized? Please call the office (325-1180) to register for the preparation meeting on Wednesday, October 3 from 7-8:30 pm in the Renaissance Room.
We send condolences to our bass player, Carlton Wilcox, on the death of his father.
Please join us for the next PARISH COMMUNITY FORUM on Monday night, September 24,
at 7 pm in the Nielsen Room. Rev. Myra will give us her vision for the future of Spiritus Christi. We will also hear an update on the upcoming Civil Rights Park.
Hope you are enjoying these beautiful late summer days. God's peace be with you.
This comes with love,
Father Jim
