Dear Parishioners,

Today (Sunday) is our annual health fair in the hall from 10-1:30. This is the 20th year this event is being held. I want to thank Dr. Larry Yap and his wife Nikki for once again organizing this great event. I encourage you to stop by the Hall to look around at the displays, get free blood pressure screening, lots of free samples as well as door drawings. Maybe this is the incentive you need to start on a health kick.

Next weekend, we welcome the Little Bethlehem Carvers who will be displaying beautiful olive wood carvings from Bethlehem. It has been awhile since they were here. Their items make nice presents for weddings, First Communion, Confirmation, Christmas, etc. Stop by the Link and see their beautiful display. Proceeds help Christians in the Holy Land.

We have a week of school under our belts now and next Sunday Religious Education begins so the fall is in full swing. It is a busy but fun time of the year. Football and Fall Festival and weddings and the regular monthly meetings all vie for a slot in the schedule. Enjoy the ride. Don’t forget to smell the roses or whatever that fall smell is.

Fr. John
