Dear Parishioners:

Thank you to all who have contributed to the new wall and windows in the Sanctuary. The windows have now been fully funded and many of you have given generously to help pay for the rest of the construction. Thank you. I believe the renovation will truly add to the beauty of our house of God.

I hope that the Parish Picnic on August 29th is high on your priority list. Since it is so important for us to come to know one another, the food will be provided by the Parish. Please come if even for an hour or two.

Have you been to 5:30 p.m. Mass recently? The music for the Liturgy is now under the direction of our new Pastoral Associate for music, Pat Kelly. I think that many of you will find it a true help in praying the Mass as a Parish Community. I would like to give a special invitation to the young of our Parish to attend this Mass - especially students and the young singles and married of our Parish.

Sincerely,
Father Vincent Ring

Happy are they who suffer
     the very old,
     the very young,
     the very lonely,
     for they have compassion.

Happy are they who greet the world with
     smiles
     and laughter
     and anticipation
     for they have courage

Happy are they who live not
     where they choose,
     but are content to live
     where they must,
     for they have freedom.

Happy are they who speak gently
     and live humbly
     for they have dignity.

Happy are they who listen and hear,
     and who extend their hands,
     for they have understanding.

Happy are they who give simply
     and love deeply and intensely,
     singing life’s alleluia,
     for they are sincere.

Happy are they who have compassion
     and courage, freedom and dignity,
     understanding and sincerity -
     for they are Mary’s children. Blest are they!
