We will be seal-coating and re-striping the church parking lot this week. The entire project will take 4 days, but will only effect one half of the parking lot at a time. Facing the front of the church from William St, the left half of the parking lot (near the rectory office) will be closed July 11-12, and the right half (near the PLC) closed July 13-14. Please be aware this will limit our access to the parking lot on those days. On July 11-12, access will only be available from William Street, and on July 13-14 access will only be available from Stafford Avenue. We appreciate your understanding while this work is done.
From Our Pastor ~ July 9, 2017
Dear Folks,
Every one of you has so many amazing stories about the Lord working in your life.
Today, I’d consider two ways we might get better about sharing those stories.
1. Fr. Colin’s talks this Sunday and the next two on Evangelizing Catholics. How can we improve and energize our efforts to share the good news? Come and have a cup of coffee after the 8:30am Mass, or ’not have a cup of coffee before the 10:30am Mass (remember the fast)! We set this mini-series of talks deliberately between the Masses to facilitate and maximize the ease of your attendance.
2. “From the Pew”stories: do you have a story of how the Lord has worked in your life? Share it with your brothers and sisters in the parish! You can do so anonymously, and it need not even be a dramatic miracle. Or course we do welcome dramatic miracles too! If you send me your witness / testimonials / story by email, we could make this “from the Pew” a regular feature of the bulletin. How has the Lord worked in your life? Email me at frmosimann@stmaryfred.org
To that end I have enclosed an an encounter that someone sent me recently, and I am still waiting for the email form the person who told me about a healing she experienced!
Pax,
Fr. Mosimann

9am Mass Saturday Morning to have Rite of Anointing
The 9am Mass on Saturday will feature the Rite of Anointing.

Please note Mass will be longer than normal as a result.
