As many of you know, Fr. Pratt became ill during the Saturday evening Mass last weekend, and was not able to celebrate the Sunday 11:00am Mass. He is doing better and we continue to pray for him as he battles cancer. He was to help and be available to us, yet we know that sometimes our spirit is strong, but our bodies do not always cooperate. We keep him in our prayers.
During the month of August, our friend from Los Angeles, Fr. Dan White will be in the parish working on his home and taking some time away from his parish in Venice Beach. We welcome him back warmly. Fr. Dan has offered to help with Sunday Masses, so he will be taking a mass on weekends and helping me with whatever we need during this time.
We continue to ask for your special consideration in your sacrificial giving on Sundays to help us defray the cost of utilities during this very hot summer. The air conditioning needs of the parish go up substantially, as I'm sure yours do too.
The time is coming to register our children for the new academic year for Religious Education classes. Please watch the bulletin for registration times.
