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

It should be obvious that development either becomes shared in common by every part of the world or it undergoes a process of regression even in zones marked by constant progress. This tells us a great deal about the nature of authentic development. Either all the nations of the world participate or it will not be true development. Sollicitudo Rei Socialis #17

You're Invited

To celebrate our new connection to the people of St. Francis DeSales, we are invited to attend the 12:00 noon Spanish Mass on August 17th. Anyone interested please contact Kim Gaskell or Frank Roser.

PARISH RETREAT DAY

In today's bulletin you will find a flyer explaining our Parish Retreat at The Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.
