Thank you to Catherine Frankenberg and Mary Alice Alfermann for the past 17 years of leadership directing the annual rummage sale for the parish. What a gift of time to the parish! Our Vacation Bible School was very well attended this year with lots of help from our youth who just got back from the Steubenville Conference. And, it's Fair Week! How blessed we are to have so many volunteers dedicated to our parish and our community!
I am with our high school students at this weekend's Steubenville Conference in Springfield. Please pray for our youth and all 4,000 students who will be coming together there.
Our parishioners were, once again, very generous to the Annual Catholic Appeal. Thank you! I encourage each of you to be welcoming to those new parish friends you do not yet know!
I want to thank you all for the wonderful experience that I had at Borgia. A simple note of thank you, is not really enough. I owe my language, confidence, spirituality, and relationships in the USA to each of you. You have a made an indelible mark in my life.
I am very much looking forward to joining all of you in Washington in the near future and rolling up my sleeves and going to work with you in the Lord’s vineyard!
