COLLECTION Thank you so very much for your generous response to the needs of the parish. Our collection last Sunday was $8,959. $2,266 was received through ParishPay for a total of $11,225. Thank you too for the $1,345 you offered in support of the Soup Kitchen..
BOOK CLUB Our next book club meets Sept. 9th from 6:30 to 8:00pm in the rectory. We’ll be reading “The Moviegoer”, winner of the 1961 National Book Award, written by Walker Percy, one of the most significant Catholic Southern writers of the 20th Century. It’s a short novel, humorous but at the same time raising important questions about the purpose of life. Do we sometimes treat life like watching a movie, instead of living it? What can we do to find happiness without being sunk in the “everydayness” of life?
