September

My dear friends in Christ,

Summer has come and gone and now we get back into the swing of things. The children will be back in school and the sounds of footsteps and laughter will fill the hallways of Pope John Paul II Regional School and the hallways leading to the Church. With our maintenance supervisor back, we are addressing the peeling paint issue in the Church and getting some of the pot holes fixed in and around the parking lot. We are also placing carbon monoxide protectors throughout the building.

 

Our Parish Spaghetti Dinner is rapidly approaching and I would like to thank the Knights of Columbus Council 5337 for giving of their time and talent to do the cooking. I would like to thank Dr. Brown for organizing the ticket sales. I want to thank all who have contributed in some way. Like Jeremiah, we must find the energy from within. To date, we have sold 47 tickets. Please do not wait until the last minute! Tickets are on sale after all Masses this weekend.

Super 50/50 tickets are on sale and books have been mailed to your homes. Please take a chance. It will benefit the maintenance of our parish facilities and grounds.

This weekend, in collaboration with Resurrection Parish, we are asking that for the next nine days, everyone pray the Novena Prayer in today’s bulletin for the Healing of Our Nation. This Novena will conclude with our evening of Taize Prayer on Monday September 11, 2017. Taize Prayer is a meditative form of common prayer through repetitive songs. We hope you will take the time to pray the Novena and to be present with us in Corpus Christi Church as we remember 9/11 and pray for peace in our World.

May God bless you all!

Fr. John
