Hi there, everyone! Here's our Flocknote for this Friday, August 7th:
1) THANK YOU FR. KLEIN!!
This weekend we welcome Fr. Clyde Foster to both parish families as our newly assigned Senior Parochial Vicar! While I am glad to have him with us, I also wanted to take the opportunity & the time to express my, & all of our, deepest thanks & gratitude to Fr. Klein for all his help over these past months. His help & assistance with Masses & Funerals as well as just his joyful & humorous personality were greatly appreciated by me along with, I know, so many of you! When I first was asked about having Fr. Clyde come on board, the very first person I talked to was Fr. Klein & he told me to take the help while I can get it & that there are plenty of parishes who could use his help. We will not be totally saying goodbye to Fr. Klein either. Fr. Clyde's day away will be Tuesday's, so Fr. Klein & I will be rotating the Tuesday evening Mass & when Fr. Clyde or I are away on vacation or retreat or something like that, Fr. Klein will be the first one I call for help. Please keep Fr. Klein, Fr. Clyde, myself, & all of our priests in your prayers as we continue to minister to God's people. And, once again, a big thank you to Fr. Klein!!
2) A reminder that both parishes raffles are coming up next Tuesday, August 11th. The drawings will be held virtually, via Facebook Live @ 12:00 Noon. Be sure to get your raffle tickets returned to have a chance to win! Good luck!!
3) Thank you for your generosity to our recent Mission Appeal. This certainly was a different & a difficult year with everything going on & not being able to actually physically host a missionary, but thank you for your generosity. We will get our generous offering to the Redemptorists to continue their great work.
Have a Blessed Week!
Fr. John
