Greetings to all of you!
I just finished
watching the golf tournament at Congressional C.C. in which Tiger Woods won yet
another tournament and I found myself pulling for him despite the fact that his
personal life has been in chaos and it seems he's really not a nice person
overall. I'm not sure what it is but despite his personal side, Tiger
Woods is good for golf. Ratings sky rocket whenever he's playing and even
more so when he is in contention. Maybe we keep hoping that as his career
is getting back on track, that somehow his conversion process would be also.
I also wonder if God sits up there in Heaven and hopes the same thing for
us? It is just amazing to me how somewhere deep down, we are all in this
together and as Christians, we hope for the best in everyone. Oh well,
enough philosophizing for now! I'm heading to the kitchen for a
nice peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Last Friday we
finished our first "Summer School for Religion" in which some sixth,
seventh, and eighth graders took a two week intensive course in religious
education. It was met with extreme enthusiasm among the parents and
participants and we look forward to continuing this for next year. The
junior high students attended Mass everyday during those two weeks and learned
a great deal about God and how He fits into our daily lives. We were
blessed with great teachers and I would like to thank Claudia Garcia and her
staff for putting together such an outstanding program. For further information
for next year, call Claudia or one of her staff at the Faith Formation office.
As some of you may
well know, we will be "kick-starting" our Capital Campaign for our
new Church sometime in the next few months. We have an excellent group of
individuals who are working hard to present new options in helping to build our
future Church in a short time. We finally have received the renderings
for our new Church and it is absolutely breathtaking! So keep watching
the bulletin and website for information on how we are going to proceed.
Maybe this time next year we can break ground? It will all be up to
you!
Well that is all for
now. May God continue to bless your commitment to His Glory!
Peace,
Fr. David
