Parish message of the week,

1. Information about our Parish Pilgrimage “In the Footsteps of St. Paul” that will take place in various locations in Greece and Turkey from September 27th to October 7th next year is posted on the parish main bulletin board in the vestibule near the Reception Desk.
2. Confession in preparation for Christmas will take place after today’s Mass from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. outside the 1/F Chapel area.
3. We are organizing our annual Christmas Day gathering of the parish community for December 25th immediately after our Mass. Lists are being circulated for volunteers to help with the set-up, clean-up, and other duties. We especially will need volunteers to serve at the food stall and activities corner. The theme for the children at our Christmas party is “Dial God Direct,” as a means of helping us to care and pray for each other throughout the coming year. As in the past, we invite parishioners to help by bringing wine for a special “Wine-tasting” corner at the party.
4. Our Mass of Thanksgiving on New Year’s Eve will be in the church at 7:00 p.m. on 31st January, while the Mass for New Year’s Day will begin at 12 noon.
