Mass Schedule Changes

Fr. Ryan will be on vacation from July 7 to July 28. Therefore we will not have 6:30 am mass on the weekdays. We are very grateful to retired priest friends of Msgr. Forst who will be covering for Fr. Ryan at the weekend masses.

School News

Beginning July 1 of each year we start the payments for the 1997-98 school year. Parents have asked us to base the tuition rate on a 52 week basis. Therefore the payments will begin this week for the 1997-98 school year. Please send your tuition payments in a separate envelope to the rectory or drop it in the collection basket. Do not put it in your regular Sunday offertory envelope. State law requires that we keep all tuition funds separate from Church offerings. We appreciate your cooperation in this regard.

Tuition Assistance

Any family needing financial assistance for the 1997-98 school year is asked to contact the rectory for financial aid application forms. No previous agreements carry over from last year. We are required to review these requests annually. Please file these requests immediately.

School Registration

School Registration for grades Kindergarten through 8th grade are being taken. Call Dr. Burgoon at 892-5349.

QUOTE FROM THE CHURCH'S SOCIAL TEACHINGS

There can be no progress towards the complete development of man without the simultaneous development of all humanity in the spirit of solidarity. As we said at Bombay in 1985 "...we must begin to work together to build the common future of the human race." Populorum Progressio #43
