SEPT. 3RD – 4TH

Happy Labor Day week-end! It is good to be back and at work. We had a wonderful time at World Youth Day and I hope the kids will take the time to share with you their pictures and stories.

 

Mass tomorrow, Monday will be at 8:00am and the office will be closed.

 

Please take a copy of the bulletin as the September calendar is inside and there are lots of exciting things going on: casino runs, Fr. Bills talk at Mary & Joseph Retreat Center, a follow up meeting for the Family Forum on the 19^th and probably lots of stuff I don't know about!!

 

There is a wonderful talk being given by Dave Ramsey that I know Ann Ford has been announcing in my absence. I went to a preview of his message and feel it is something that many of us can learn from and help us get a handle on our finances, whether you are in trouble or not. The talk on the 24^th is just the beginning. If we get enough people interested we can put on the workshops here for 13 weeks to help teach people how to manage money using lessons taken from scripture. Talk to either Ann or myself if you have any questions. We do have tickets available for $25 at the office in the annex by the Placita.

 

I would like to collect pictures of the Diamonds of the church, seniors over 75 and display them on the bulletin board on Grandparents Day. We would like to know your age, how long have you been members of St. Agatha and what ministries have you served. Please bring your pictures no later than Saturday, September 10, 2011.

 

CCD is offering FREE Bible classes for all children who have done their First Communion; the classes will be in English and will be given on Tuesday evenings, for more information please call the CCD office.
