This Sunday we celebrate the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is great to see more people back to Mass each week! As Jesus reminds us in the Gospel this weekend, "Come away...and rest a while." The Mass is a beautiful privilege and gift we have to come away from all our daily activities and rest in the Lord. We do have some pews in the back of the Church with additional space between the next pew for those who would like more social distancing. Our Mass times are 4:30 Saturday night for the vigil and Sunday morning at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30. 

On Sunday September 12th, we will be having a WELCOME BACK PARISH PICNIC! This event will begin with 11:30 Mass outside, weather permitting, and then followed by a grill out with our parish family. Please mark you calendars and we will provide more information in the coming weeks.

Lastly, our Religious Education will be starting up in September and registration is available through our Faith Formation Office. Please sign up as soon as you can. We are also looking for some adult volunteers to help on the 1st Wednesday evening of each month throughout the year. Adult volunteers are needed as Catechists for the children or helping assist with our parents meeting sessions. Please consider helping - it is a great way to get to know more people and help us each grow together in our relationship with the Lord. For more information please contact Brianna Wessel at faithformation@stcatherinechurch.com

 

God bless you all!

See you at Mass!

Fr. John
