A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR…. Dear Parishioners,
I’d like to remind you that this Friday is the first Friday of the month. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place after the 8:30 am Mass from 9:15 am– 11:00 am. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to spend some quiet time with the Lord.
The start of our Annual Family Festival begins this Wednesday at 6:00 pm. The festival will run from Wednesday through Sunday, August 6th. The times of the festival are noted in this bulletin. This is a great way for families to spend some time together and to meet up with fellow parishioners and neighbors. Please don’t forget to stop by our Marian table where you can light a candle and offer a prayer to Our Mother in front of her statue. So, spread the word and come out and support our school and parish!
On Sunday, August 13th, we will have a candlelight, rosary procession after the 7:00 pm Mass in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. We will meet at the Cross on the side of the church and begin our procession around the block at 8:15 pm. Please invite your friends and neighbors to join us as we pray and give thanks to Our Blessed Mother for her continuous intercessions on our behalf.
We are blessed to be part of the active parish of Our Lady of Grace and I hope you will participate in our many spiritual and social activities. Yours in Christ and Through Our Lady,
Fr. Marc Swartvagher

OLG’s Summer Bereavement Group meets for seven consecutive Tuesdays from July 11 to
August 22 at 7:00 pm in the convent. (Please use the back door in the parking lot by the
green vinyl lined fence.)
The goal of the Group is to take you on a creative journey of self-discovery through personal stories, prayerful meditations, songs and crafts. An inner reflection will awaken you to recognize that Jesus is in your midst, especially during times of sorrow, as the disciples eventually became aware that it was Jesus walking with them on the road to Emmaus. Please call the rectory for details.
