Many of you have been asking, and the wait is nearly over! Tomorrow, September 8, the books for Mass intentions open up. That date always seems to create a rather a frenzy as people try to get their requests for Masses in as soon as they can.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about—and for those who do—some explanation might be in order.
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of oīering Mass for particular intentions. Of course, every Mass is oīered for the salvation of the entire world. The Mass is, after all, the sacrifice of Jesus...

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s carnival a success. Our parishioners played an essential role—running games, selling raffle tickets, preparing and serving food indoors and out, donating baked goods, assembling gift baskets, organizing (and shopping!) the white elephant sale, supporting the kiddie rides, and so much more. A heartfelt thank you as well to those who set up and will help take everything down. Every effort was noticed, and every contribution deeply appreciated.

In the midst of the upcoming events I listed out a couple of weeks ago, I forgot one.
It’s the Diocesan Catholic Ministries Appeal. And it’s going to happen. Some of you may already have been receiving the request letters from the Diocese. Some of us may already be thinking about our giving budget and making decisions about how much to give to that worthy cause.
