Community Update
for Sunday November 22, 2020
|
|
This past Thursday was National Catholic School Principal Appreciation Day. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Karen Suty for being the leader of our school God has given us in this historic moment of our community. I thank God for Ms. Suty’s joy, her genius in combining administration with faith, her love for our young disciples and most of all, her commitment to our parish’s mission of forming joyful disciples. Ms. Suty and I share the vision that every child, parent, adult of our school and parish would have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. As our country and world is struggling with the virus, our daily encounter with the Lord is our sanity, our health, our unity and our salvation.
Encounter the Lord in our Liturgies this weekend outdoors in the Pavilion, outdoors in the Community Center Parking Lot or in your home from our parish livestream. Read on for our Thanksgiving Day outdoor Mass schedule and more ways we can know Christ, encounter Christ and serve Christ. May the Lord Jesus Christ be praised!
St. John Vianney, pray for us!
God bless,
Fr Joe
