A Summer Blessing
May our loving God
watch over you
and keep alive in your heart
all that you have learned this year.
Keep your mind on God.
Remember to pray often
and to celebrate your faith,
at home with your family,
and at Mass with your faith family.
Keep your faith in God.
Let all the joys of summer
remind you of God’s goodness.
Never forget that God
is always with you, no matter what.
May the God of all creation,
who comes to us in Jesus,
and lives among us in the Holy Spirit,
keep you safe, happy and holy
this summer and always.
Amen. |

THE ENVIRONMENTS
AND ARTS
COMMITTEE
(See our Page)
It’s a big title, so we go by the name of the E & A
Committee...we’re the group who “transition” the Church
from one liturgical season to the next. It is our goal to help
create an “environment” in our worship space that is both
prayerful and reflective. We usually work with fabric and
flowers...and ideas. We would welcome your helping hands
and assistance in this holy task...especially during Holy
Week. If you would like to share in the joy of this ministry.
