NO CLASSES for our school students on Thursday and Friday, October 21/22, because of the MEA Convention.
THE 2004 MARATHON was a great success, and so many people helped to make it so: THANK YOU! On Monday, October 18, at 1:30 p.m. in the school gym, Father Bill's head will be shaved & shining! Mrs. Clausen will be conducting business from the roof as soon as the students complete their service projects (We added service projects to the marathon so our students can continue to help others.).

CHECK YOUR CALENDARS for our week of hosting Families Moving Forward. Our guests will be arriving on Sunday, November 28, and they will be with us all week. We will be hosting 6 - 8 families, so we will need more volunteers to make our week run smoothly. Sign up will be after the Masses on the weekend of November 6/7, so please see if you are able to help with this ministry!
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
"There are places in the heart which do not yet exist, and into them suffering enters so that they may have existence."

YOU ARE INVITED to attend our parish retreat, "Luke Live!," Monday - Thursday, October 25 - 28, at 7:00 p.m. to strengthen your involvement with Scriptures, and foster evangelization & faith sharing. The weekend liturgies of October 23/24 will focus on ways we interact and relate to the Bible, and the weeknights will highlight community-building themes, such as the Kingdom of God. As part of our focus on adult and family faith formation, this is an opportunity to bring the entire family to hear the Word of God as spoken in the Gospel of Luke. Mark your calendar for these dates and come to be refreshed in the Lord.
