From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Parishioners:

You may have noticed through the Monitor, our website, and bulletin, as well as a few references at Mass, that Bishop O’Connell has decreed a “Year of Youth” be celebrated throughout our diocese. In addition to any diocesan sponsored events, our parish will undertake a few initiatives. I have already met with our deacons and Youth Minister, Leo Aliaga, to discuss ways our parish will carry out the goals set out by the bishop. I’ll be setting these out over the course of the coming year.

Don’t forget that the Solemnity of Our Lady’s Assumption is celebrated this Wednesday, August 15. It is a Holy Day of Obligation. The schedule of Masses is in the bulletin.

With affection,
Msgr. Tom Gervasio

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,

W kapab petèt remake atravè Jounal The Monitor, Sit entènèt ak bilten nou yo, adisyone ak kèk referans nou fè nan Lamès ke Evèk O'Connell te dekrete ke nan tout Dyosèz la, lane sa a se "L'année de la Jeunesse". Anplis de tout evènman ke Dyosèz la responsab fè, pawas nou an pral antreprann kèlke inisyativ. Mwen deja rankontre avèk Dyak nou yo, Leo Aliago,chèf gwoup jèn nou yo pou diskite sou fason ke pawas nou an pral itilize pou reyalize objektif ke Evèk la enonse yo.

Pa bliye Fèt Solanèl NOTRE DAME de l'ASSOMPTION ap selebre Mèkredi demen an 15 Daou. Se yon fèt dobligation. Nap jwenn orè Lamès yo nan bilten an.
Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr. Thomas Gervasio
