| SUMMER ENDS - PARISH ACTIVITIES RESUME As a “new year” unfolds, have you planned how you will deepen your relationship with God and perhaps become involved in some parish ministry? A special invite is extended to our new parishioners. In welcoming you to our parish family, we encourage you to learn about our many activities and discern where you can serve. Consult the bulletin board in the Church Narthex . Different parish organizations will be featured at various times of the year. We also hope to meet you at our Newcomer’s Coffee and Chat on October 12th. Details are contained within this newsletter. If you have any questions, feel free to call the Rectory. We invite all parishioners to attend our Celebration of Stewardship on October 4/5 after all Masses in the Parish Hall. There you will be able to view displays of all the parish organizations and speak to a representative about how you might best serve in the various parish ministries. |

| Diocesan Pilgrimage to the National Shrine Our Diocesan Pilgrimage to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. will take place on Wednesday, October 8, 2008. It is a special time of grace and indulgence for all the Faithful of the Diocese. Bishop Cullen will lead the Pilgrimage and hopes you will join him for this grace filled event. A Pilgrimage is a time of devotion and evangelization. Make a sincere effort to join our Bishop for this special event. This year’s event is the Diocesan celebration for the “Celebrating Ministry and Service in the Year of St. Paul” with special guest presenters at various locations at the Shrine. Special guest speaker is Matthew Kelly, a native of Australia and an international speaker on living the Catholic life. We will have a bus from our parking lot, and the cost will be $30. per person, which includes driver tip. Meals will be on your own - lunch in the Basilica café or brought from home, and a buffet stop on the way home. To reserve a spot on the bus, call the Rectory at 610-678-3767, and confirm your reservation by mailing your check to the Rectory. |
