SYNOD Meeting
A number of months ago, the parish conducted a number of inquiries concerning the Synod within the church, looking at where we are and where we need to go. With a nod to the great work done by all who currently serve on the Parish Council, I invite those who are SERIOUS ABOUT THE SYNOD to attend an initial working session on Tuesday, September 27th at 7pm to begin discussion on ONE ASPECT of parish life as a focus for the upcoming year.
Already the Men's Prayer Group has begun gathering for time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, beginning to fulfill the initial purpose of the Synod. Now it is time to seriously consider what the most important issue is in preventing our faith community to grow in faith, hope and charity.

"Jesus and the Barbecued Fish Breakfast" by Dan Daly, SJ contains a book of Gospel stories inspired by the spiritual execrcises of St. Ignatius. Along with whimsical illustrations.
