Parish Photo Board Update! It's been a while since we created our parish photo board. It was a great resource when we held Coffee Hour in the Parish Hall, but now we’re outside most weeks, we will be creating a new display on the rolling bulletin boards. But we need to hear from you... Keep your current photo?—check the Parish Hall, and if you want to keep the current photo, email Susan Marshall to let her know. Want to send a new photo?—please make sure it is in portrait orientation, that your smiling face is the main focus, and that the picture measures at least 4 x 6” and not blurry, when printed. Email images or questions directly to Susan. Or have a new photo taken!! - Come and have your picture taken by one of our great photographers, on Get Connected Sunday (Sept. 16) or St. Francis Sunday (Oct. 7). Look out for new pictures, plus a new photo directory in the Fall.
