A SUMMER NOTE
Last year, on the Sunday I arrived, one of my first messages was about “money.” I hope I’ve redeemed myself in the intervening year. As a result of my  appeal, we had a successful campaign: “Paint the Church, Meet the Match.” With a generous match we raised over $40,000 to paint the exterior of the church for a better price than expected and as a    result do some much-needed work in the rectory.
 
There are always needs on a property with four buildings and of course we try and raise funds to meet them.  You may have noticed that lighting in the church is a recurring problem. The current lights are hot, the bulbs are expensive, perilous to replace, not very long-lasting and they use lots of energy. The Parish Finance Council has identified a program to replace them with lighting which is everything the current system is not and which promises to reduce energy use and cost by as much as 60 percent.
 
In the near future we will outline this and other needs in more detail. We hope that you will be able to help in another brief campaign and trust that as you have in the past, you will respond generously.
 
Thanks – Fr Frank

Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could hear what other parishioners seated in the pews think about the Gospel message of the day, share your thoughts about the daily readings or talk to the presider about the day's homily? Now is your chance to engage more deeply with the Liturgy of the Word through dialogue in community. All parishioners are invited to stay in the church after the 10:30 AM Mass on Sunday, July 15th to Continue the Conversation about the readings for the day and the homily with a discussion led by Fr. Clooney. The readings for Sunday, July 15th are Amos 7:12-15, Ephesians 1:3-14, and Mark 6:7-13.
