PARISH NEWS

Congratulations to our New Pastoral Council Members:
At the 5:00 Mass on August 9th, 4 new members were selected by lot. We welcome the following to this leadership group: Donna Gill, Stephanie Lohr, Jerry Moore, and Anthony Puccio. Pastoral & Finance Council members will be presented and blessed at the 10:45 Mass on August 24th. Then Councilors will share an afternoon Retreat to discuss the progress of our Cluster plan to submit to the Diocese.

Welcome to Our Guest Priests:
We`re happy that Fr. John was able to get some help from priests to allow him some time away, and assistance for some Masses. Beginning July 6th, Fr. Mark Ott, on break from studies in Rome, has been presiding at one Sunday Mass. His last Mass will be at 9:00 on August 24. Fr. Yahner & Fr. Coletta have been with us while Fr. John was away. We look forward to having Fr. Pfeiffer and Fr. McGovern with us at the end of August.
