Dear Friends in Christ, This past Monday, I visited Fr. Ken Lill and
took with me a handful of cards that many of you had forwarded to me. Fr. Ken was grinning from ear to ear like only Fr. Ken can. It is amazing how we
can brighten someone’s day by just a kind act of writing a note or sending a card. I suspect there are many people in our lives who
could benefit by just taking time to send a card, making a phone call or stopping by for a visit. Are there any people in your life like that?
I will be visiting Fr. Ken again in a few weeks. Feel free to forward any cards or letters you would like me to take along.
Next Sunday is the feast of St. Francis. St. Francis is the patron
of animals. In that spirit, we will be blessing animals at the end of the school day at St. Joseph on Friday October 2 at 2:00 p.m. on the
school lawn. Then on Sunday, October 4, we will bless the animals at St. Alphonsus at the St. Francis shrine at 1:00 p.m. I am so looking forward to this!
Finally, this weekend on Sunday Sept. 27, the Sorrowful Mother Shrine will be offering a Charismatic Mass and Healing at the Outdoor Pieta Chapel at 12:30 p.m. All are invited to attend! Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Ron

tions with charity funds, and have a member who
attends quarterly meetings with community and

those in need with combined efforts and funds, we
can direct those in need to other resources available
and to make sure we are not duplicating services. If
you or someone you know is in need of assistance,
applications are available at St. Mary’s parish during
the days and hours listed. It is preferred applications
be returned in person. A photo id and proof of
address will also be required.
