Appreciation and Prayers for Father Doug at September 22nd 9:30am Mass

Please mark your calendars for the Shhh… Surprise Appreciation Mass for Father Doug Grandon on Sunday, September 22 at 9:30 am. We would LOVE to fill the church in gratitude for Father Doug as he has been pursuing truth and what is right for our parish and community. Let’s shower him with our presence and prayer at this special Mass. Please encourage your children to wear their school uniforms to visually emphasize our school’s support. Also, please encourage your children to write special offertory thank you notes…. can you visualize the children (all SVDP students, not just the little ones) flooding the aisle and altar when asked to bring up the children’s gifts? We just may make Father Doug shed a tear or two!!

Lectors of Family Sundays

We would like to invite families to lector at the Masses on the first weekend of the month. A parent and child could do the two readings, siblings, two parents – any combo would be cherished! Simply sign your duo up for one or multiple dates and then Kathleen Osher will contact you with the readings and to help practice at church. This is a great way to spread the beauty of the Gospel and fill and huge need. With love and gratitude, Faith and Family H&S. You can find the sign up genius on the Volunteer Calendar at the first Saturday and Sunday of the month, as well as use this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545A8AB22A31-lectors
