Hello all! Welcome to another Monthly newsletters! This volume includes updates on Parish repairs, Outdoor Mass, Stewardship, and more.

You can contact us with questions or concerns via email or phone. Be sure to check out our website and scroll down so you don’t miss anything. We are continuing to pray for all of our parish community and an end to this virus.

Blessings,

Repairs around Bosco
We have been working hard and had the opportunity to make some repairs to improve the grounds.
  • The St John Bosco sign on 112th has been repaired and repainted by volunteers
  • The Ten Commandments have been cleaned and refurbished by volunteers. Currently the Ten Commandments are covered with a tarp to protect it from the elements until a sealer is applied to complete the project.
  • Trees around the main building have been cut down. This was done to stop damage occurring to the roof and animals accessing roof by means of the trees.
Open for Outdoor Mass
We are happy to announce that we have reopened for mass. We are hosting outdoor mass for 50 people every Sunday at 10:00am. To attend you must register in advance using the form available on our website.

To improve the experience of outdoor mass we are purchasing tents to cover both the altar and the congregation. This will help protect us from rain. We are also working hard to get a sound system so everyone will be able to hear. We haven't found a way to combat the cold so be sure to dress warm. As we attend mass we can remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than us who make many sacrifices to attend mass.
Volunteers Needed!

In order to reopen safely we need volunteers to make sure masses go smoothly. We are in need of volunteers to help set up, take down, and sanitize. If you are interested in helping please email Terri Nelson.

Stewardship
Every year at this time, we are asked to think about our stewardship and of all the gifts that God has placed in our trust. Not just how we are taking care of those gifts, but how we are sharing those gifts with our parish and our community as well.
