Good oven-heated afternoon Family of Families!
Our prayers continue for God to bless us with some rain! We hear some places are getting splash and dash showers but overall, it is still pretty dry around here!
We have a request: A group of high school students, their chaperones and Fr. Kris are on their way to Irving, Texas, to the Lonestar Steubenville Conference. Please keep them in your prayers that the Lord might reveal Himself to them in mighty and unexpected ways. We also pray for the health and safety of all of the teens and their adult sponsors as they travel to and from their destination.
Also, please say an extra prayer for Fr. Kris who will be driving back late Saturday afternoon in order to celebrate the Sunday Masses (we couldn't find a priest!)" Fr. Wiera will be the celebrant for the Saturday Vigil Mass.
We would like to thank all our volunteers who worked tirelessly last week and this week to put on a MONUMENTAL Vacation Bible School. Scroll down for a video recap of the fun!
