FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!

This Sunday we celebrate two Baptisms!   Congratulations to Daniel Morales and Heng Rui Wang and Patrick and Regine Merone on the baptisms of their children!

Yesterday was our 14th Annual Jazz and Food Festival.  I would like to thank all of those involved who helped make this event such a successful day for our Parish.  Thank you all of those involved who have helped in planning and festival preparation including Larry Williford, Eva Wiznerowicz, Barbara Vaughan, Cathy Woodson, Phil Brew, Margaret Rittenhouse, David Woodburn, Connie Hom, George Strother, Adrian DeLoach, Dan Burns, Karen Yesolitis, Ken Soistman and Kevin Kitrick.  Also, many thanks to our day-of volunteers.  The assistance of all of our volunteers is what makes this event possible for our parish!  So far, we have raised over $15,000 in sponsorships and over $20,000 on raffle ticket donations.  In next week's bulletin, we shall share the total amount raised from fundraising before and on the day of the festival.  Many thanks to all of our sponsors and to those who contributed through the raffle for your generosity.

Next Sunday, we will be celebrating Sr. Elena Henderson's 50th Anniversary of Religious Life.  Sr. Elena is a Sister of the Blessed Sacrament and a longtime friend of St. Elizabeth Parish.  Please join us at the 10 a.m. Mass and for a light reception to follow to celebrate this important milestone.

Please mark your calendars for Mass for the Feast of the Assumption.  We will have a Vigil Mass on August 14th at 6 p.m., but no noon Mass that day.

Blessings to you and yours,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
