Ministry Highlight
Luke TwoForty
Luke TwoForty brings families together for fun, fellowship, and faith building. We create a Catholic environment in which to raise our children. We seek to bring to life and daily living the rich heritage and teachings of the Faith. We want our children to live life with intention, knowing they are loved by Jesus Christ. We foster Christian friendships, both for ourselves and for our children. We support each other with the practical struggles of daily life and learn from one another ways and techniques to be better spouses and parents. We welcome all families, including single parents, grandparents, and guardians. Contact Vanessa for more information CONTACT
ALTAR SOCIETY
The Altar Society supports the priest by ensuring sacred spaces are clean and reverently prepared for all liturgical celebrations, including Masses, baptisms, matrimony, and especially at funerals, which they often attend. They work with reverence, mindful that they facilitate the encounter between God and His people. However, there is plenty of time for fun and fellowship. For more information please email the Altar Society:
The Fellowship Committee

Council’s Corner
* We discussed elections to the Parish Council. Consider nominating yourself or someone you know!
* First Communion was great, but should we have it on a weeknight due to high turnout. Thoughts?
* We discussed simply having donuts after Mass. This might keep kids from taking one of each. Also, some might just prefer them. What do you think
*Next meeting September 23rd.
