LITURGICAL MINISTERS’ SCHEDULE The July and August Liturgical Minister’s Schedule has been mailed. You are reminded to find your own replacements if you are unable to fulfill your scheduled time. Phone lists can be picked up in the Conference Room.

BABYSITTING AT 10:30 MASS Our survey has determined that at least 10 families have indicated an interest in taking advantage of babysitting service during the 10:30 Mass. Therefore, late-August or early September, we will offer babysitting for children 1-3 years of age (4 years old when Children's Church is not offered). It will be necessary, however, that before taking advantage of this service, parents will need to register their child. This can be done by contacting the Coordinator of the Parish Babysitting Services (Jan Spizale, janspizale@gmail.com), if you have not already been in touch with her. Those registered will be sent important information several weeks before this new service is offered. BAPTISMS AT 10:30 MASS On Sunday, August 13, the Rite of Baptism of Infants will be celebrated at the 10:30 AM Mass. Expectant parents interested in their new-born child being baptized at this Mass should contact Tiffany Foreman (739-7009 or jhforeman@cox.net). We plan to celebrate the Rite of Baptism four times a year at the 10:30 AM Mass. FLOWER MEMORIALS AND CONTRIBUTIONS Do you wish to remember a deceased loved one or celebrate an event with flowers in the church? The Altar Society Décor Committee accepts contributions for small or large flower arrangements as follows: St. Mary Chapel - $20.00 Vestibule - $40.00 Statues - $200.00 (No flowers are used during Lent) For more information or to schedule a memorial, please call the church office.
