Mass times

Dear Friends,

Next Sunday morning (August 9) at the 8:30 Mass we will be welcoming Fulton Marion Koranek into the Church through the sacrament of baptism. Congratulations to his very proud parents Meghan and Aaron and his godparents Katie and Ben.  We here at St. Catherine’s rejoice with you, and we offer you our support and encouragement in raising your child in the practice of the faith.  

At the end of this month, we will have another baptism. This reflects the changing demographics of this area and indeed this Church community. I have not seen so many homes in this immediate neighborhood for sale or houses being refurbished. Young people abound, fathers and mothers with strollers (and the dog of course) are now a common sight on my street where a few years ago we oldies were the only ones you would see venturing out when it wasn’t so hot to exercise our limbs.  The future is taking shape under our noses, our Church community is getting younger too and sometimes noisier – with that in mind, I am not here to dispense parenting advice to anyone during Mass, I leave that to you! You are the experts in that field but do it in a helpful and constructive way.

Second Collection: Infirm Priests’ Collection.

Enjoy what is left of your summer vacation time before school begins again.

God bless,

Fr. Niall
