OCT. 1ST – 2ND

We had a great meeting last Monday evening and now we are asking for help from the parishioners'. In the Placita today we have coffee and donuts and a board with sign up sheets. Please stop by and read over them while you are enjoying a cup of coffee. A couple of them need explanation:
1.    We are starting Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of each month. In order to have this we need to have people in the church at all times. If you can come and be present, please sign up on the sheet.
2.    We would like to start a pre-school during the 10:00am Mass where we can teach younger children their prayers and about Jesus. This would be for children younger than First Grade. If you would like to help with this, please sign up.
3.    We need help with our Children's Liturgy of the Word. If you can help, please sign up.
 
I think all the others are pretty clear. Thank you again to all who attended and we hope this will be a good start to a wonderful year.
 
Are you interested in becoming a Catholic? You may have a friend, neighbor or co-worker wondering how God fits into their life. You may have even been baptized a Catholic but never completed your initiation (Confirmation and/or Eucharist).  Adults become Catholic through a gradual process of prayer, reflection and study called RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults).  At St. Agatha's the RCIA Team meets in the Pastoral Center on Sunday mornings, from 8:30 to 9:45, and then attends Mass at 10:00 am together. We invite you to "Come and see". . . drop in, no obligation, no commitment, no pressure – sessions starting on Oct. 9.  
 
Mass this coming Monday will be at 8am as Fr. Bill has an assembly with all the Priests of the Archdiocese.
 
Sophia Berkley or Dee Dee Smith would like to tell you about an exciting project they are undertaking for St. Agatha Church.
 
Please check the bulletin for any other items we might have missed.
