Midweek Mass, Wednesday - 11:00 am

in the Fireside Room

(no Zoom available for Wednesday Mass)

Hope to see you there!

Our Hospitality Ministry is hosting a new program:

**A Table for 4**

How the program works:

Each month members will have the opportunity to join a "Table for 4" to meet and share a meal, beverages or whatever your 'table' decides to do. 'Tables' will be created from those who join that month. Every month will be a chance to join and meet with a different 'Table' and another opportunity to meet others in the community. .

Watch this week for a separate email from the Hospitality Ministry that will provide instructions on how to join.

We hope to receive your 'Reservation' soon.

Fort Collins City Lifestyle magazine featuring

Latifah and her talents and award in clothes design

Latifah Hirchi-Vogl (daughter of Mary Vogl - our Sunday Choir flutist) has been featured in the September issue of Fort Collins City Lifestyle magazine.

Latifah is a junior in Apparel Design & Construction at Colorado State. In 2022 she was the recipient of a Fashion Scholarship Fund and was runner-up in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET) Costume Institute College Fashion Design Competition in New York City. In high school she wondered, “Why is there not an art section on the SAT test?”

Congratulations Latifah!
