CCF and Sacramental Class Schedule:
IMPORTANT NOTE from our Coordinator of Religious Education for children: An email was sent to all our families. Please read it for more detailed information about our first Mass and Class.
"This Sunday, September 25th, all CCF students will attend the 9:30am Mass together with their CCF class. Father Jose is really looking forward to seeing all of our CCF family there. The children have been doing a wonderful job with practicing their song and will debut their beautiful talent during the offering.
Please bring your child(ren) to the Parish Life Center promptly at 9:00am. The children and youth will gather with their class as usual in the hall. After a song and a couple announcements, each catechist will bring their class over to the church for Mass at 9:15am." More details in the email.
September 25: CCF Classes for Grades Kinder thru 9th (9:30am Mass followed by snacks and regular class in the Learning Center). Please, do not stop for donuts after Mass.
REVISED CCF PICK UP PROCEDURE for the safety of all.
NOTICE: We want to apologize for the delays in the dismissal procedure last Sunday. It did not run smoothly, and so to avoid confusion we have decided to return to the process we were using with some minor changes. All children will follow their teachers out in a line and we will dismiss as before when we see the parents, whether walk-up or car pick-up. Your patience and cooperation is appreciated. We can use a few parents to watch the traffic for us. Thank you.
THIS IS FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL. PLEASE WATCH THE TRAFFIC AS YOU LEAVE.
SEPTEMBER 25: Catholic Youth Ministry meets again this Sunday, September 25, at 4pm in the youth room for Game Night. Come and bring a friend! They don't have to belong to our parish. All teens from 8th to 12th grade are welcomed!

Our Open House Parish Picnic is a Meet & Greet Catholics on the Move Event. Catholics on the Move is not a program.
PARISH OPEN HOUSE PICNIC
Join us on October 9th after the 11:15am Mass in the Fr. John M. Phillips Parish Life Center and St. Francis Terrace for this special Catholics on the Move Parish Picnic Event.
It is time to get together to celebrate our come-back from a few years of separation! We invite everyone to be a part of our Parish Open House Picnic on Sunday, October 9 at 12:30pm. It is not only a time to get together as a parish family, but also to open our hearts to others who are not Catholic or not baptized to join us for fellowship, food, music, and fun. We hope this will be a great opportunity to reach out to those who may like to join our parish family. So we are inviting you to also extend the invitation to family members, friends, or even strangers who are not Catholic to join us on the 9th.
To make our celebration a true shared experience, we ask that if possible, you bring a picnic-style side dish to share with others. The Parish will provide the main dish, drinks, and desert. Please let us know if you can bring a side dish by calling the office or signing up on the list provided in the vestibule of the Church. We are looking forward to seeing you at our parish family gathering!
Join us on October 9th after the 11:15am Mass in the Fr. John M. Phillips Parish Life Center and St. Francis Terrace for this special COTM Parish Picnic.
