Dear Friends in Christ,

Last weekend I spoke at all Masses about the 2014 Fall Festival which will be held on

October 10th, 11th and 12th.  This wonderful celebration is a chance for us to reconnect with fellow parishioners and to invite the larger Central Florida community to our parish campus.  The proceeds from the Fall Festival are shared with local charities.  On the weekend of September 6th and 7th, we will host sign ups for the various areas that need your time and talent.  There are many opportunities to serve, so I hope that you will pray about your role in this year’s Fall Festival.  I also ask if you would consider if you have an item or professional service to donate to the auction.  Please let us know so that we can plan appropriately.

Thank you for your patience as we continue with the re-roofing project on the Pre-School, Nazareth Center and Gymnasium.  Your generosity allows for us to maintain the buildings of our parish campus.

When you come before the Lord this week please whisper my name to the Almighty.  Know that I will pray for you, your loved ones and your intentions.  We may not see each other every day but we can meet each day in our prayers.

In Christ,

Very Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, V.F.
Pastor
