On Monday, September 9th over 190 people gathered in the Parish Center to begin the new Parish Study on THE MASS. The first segment, "A Privileged Encounter", was an overview of the Mass and the great benefits of informed participation. It began an exploration of the many mysteries of the faith contained. There were sometimes spirited discussions, and searching questions presented to Father George as he visited the various groups. Thank you to our team of child care providers assisted by high school volunteers for babysitting children ages 3 to 10 years old. Many thanks to the Friends and Family Ministry and the Knights of Columbus who supported the effort in preparing the food that began the evening and the clean-up that ended it.
