During the summer months, when life becomes more casual than usual, I encourage everyone to be attentive to their attire for Mass. It is a way of witnessing our belief that at Mass, a formal act of worship, we encounter the Lord. While the Lord certainly knows the intentions of the heart, we should be concerned with the message our appearance conveys to our fellow parishioners and guests.

Monday night Bible Study will be in recess during the summer and will resume in September. Watch for a bulletin announcement of the September start date.

In a few days all parishioners should receive a letter introducing our 2013 Summer Project. Summer is the time when we try make many repairs and improvements to our parish campuses. This year our Summer Project is rather ambitious in making long term enhancements to both our campuses. I hope, considering the case made in the letter, you will wholeheartedly support the two initiatives.
