HOUSING NEEDS Teacher (new to area) needs 3 bedroom home to rent. Please call JoAnn at 651-488-3111 and leave a message. MISSIONARY PREACHER Next weekend, August 18/19, Brother Larry Schatz, F. S. C., will talk at all the Masses for the Christian Brothers new school, San Miguel in South Minneapolis. Every summer a missionary is assigned to every parish. This year I asked for a Christian Brother because so many of you have contact with the Brothers through Totino-Grace, Cretin-Derham, Hill-Murray, Benilde, De La Salle, St. Mary's, etc. Let's support the Brothers new endeavor. Fr. Bill
