Dear Parishioners,
What a great Festival Weekend we had! So many parishioners were willing to
serve as volunteers - we appreciate you all! The Knights of Columbus Council
and the Festival Committee, chaired by Jeff Zero and Chris Coschignano, did a
great job of organizing the whole event.

Please consider joining us. A glossary of terms that are helpful in understanding the situation in Darfur is included in today’s bulletin.
Splish Splash Trip
Just a final reminder to our youth volunteers that the deadline to register for the Splish Splash Trip is this Monday, Aug. 18th. The trip is scheduled for next Monday, August 25th. Please see the flyer in today’s bulletin for more information.
Parking Lot Project
The parking lot project will be beginning this week. It will involve expanding the parking lot for an additional 22 spaces and improving the present parking lot with better lighting, trees, seal-coating and re-striping. I’m sorry for the temporary inconvenience this will cause with regard to parking.
The first $245,000 of the cost of the project is being covered by the funds that were donated when we had the Boiler and Property Improvement Campaign. The balance, (approximately $125,000), with the approval of the Parish Finance Committee, will be taken from the parish’s reserve funds. Additional donations for this project would be gladly accepted!
