 Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

October 2, 2022

Fr. Jim's Jots

Please pray for all who have been affected by Hurricane "Ian".  What a terrible event.  I am sure that in the near future Catholic Relief Services will be asking for a special collection but in the meantime, pray.

I will be leaving for Scottsdale, Arizona this Sunday to celebrate the Funeral Mass of my Godfather, Dick Gee.  The Mass is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 3rd at 11:00.  Please pray that bad weather does not prohibit my trip.  I will be returning on Tuesday, Oct. 4th.

My next trip is to New Orleans to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Michelle Ann Arsenault.  Michelle and her fiance',Travis, are both finishing medical school, now doing their residency.  

Michelle's father, Michael Arsenault and I were very good friends, attending the same grade and high schools.  Mike went off to also be a doctor and I to the seminary.  A few years ago, Mike died from cancer.,  I am so pleased to be able to celebrate a happy event and witness Michelle's wedding.

Again, special thanks for all who are working so very hard for our parish centennial.  Please see the update in today's bulletin about the former St. Elizabeth/Convent site development. The project is sponsored by Catholic Charities.

+ Fr. Jim, Pastor
