This Weekend: AUGUST 20-21
Drive/Up/Drop-Off

Saturday, August 20: 4:45pm to 6pm
Sunday, August 21: 9:15am to 12:30pm

We began our Holy Faith Focused 3rd weekend of the month Food Drive in September of 2020 and it remains stronger than ever. We have reach our goal of 1000 lbs. of food many times over. Thank you volunteers who have sacrificed a little extra time during their weekend to help load the van once a month. Thank you parishioners for your support and compassion for the hungry in our area and helping to fill the pantry shelves of Catholic Charities, especially as the end of the month approaches when supplies have dwindle but the demain remains. God Bless your giving hearts!

EVERYONE IS INVITED!

A BACK-TO-SUNDAY SCHOOL PRAYER

Almighty God, We give you our CCF Sunday School Season. We give you all the CCF Staff, Catechists and Aides who disciple our children and families here. We give you all the children who study here. We pray our CCF Sunday School would be place of great discovery, adventure and creativity. May it be a place where we love to learn and where we learn to love, a place where every one is respected and all are deeply valued.
adapted from : (A modern prayer from www.lords-prayer-words.com)

We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
