YOUNG FAMILY ADORATION
There is a new opportunity blossoming at St. Pat's for those with babies/toddlers/children who still praise God with their voices and movement. While we know, intellectually, that we are welcome to be a full participant in all activities at St. Pat's, some folks with young families may feel uncomfortable joining in the quieter and more solemn events. Here's where the Young Families Adoration hour comes in! Every second Thursday of the month, from 6-7pm, Adoration will be a welcoming space specific for those with the wiggles and giggles. No commitments are necessary and you certainly don't need to feel obligated to stay the entire hour if that's not in the cards for your family. Come enjoy a safe place to pass on the beauty of Adoration!
ONLINE GIVING
A big thank you to the ACTS Women’s Group for volunteering to weed and fertilize the rose beds near the entrance of the church and Deacons Hall. These low growing roses are a prickly challenge to weed and the ladies did a wonderful job. This was the second evening of service for the ACTS ladies. In June they did a clean sweep of weeds in the garden beds within The Cloister. We would also like to thank Kathleen Bailey for tending the hanging baskets in the Columbarium area. These prima donnas of the garden require weekly dead heading and fertilizing. Her close monitoring of these plants also insures the watering system is working correctly. To all of our garden volunteers, a.k.a. ‘the Leprachauns,’ thank you for your work in our gardens. We have a need for a diligent weeder to adopt the bed in the center of the entrance driveway from E. 20th Ave. Please let Jean Watson know if you can help with this shrub bed. Contact her at 333-5799, leave a message at 333-4678 or send an email to [email protected].
Celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration
Journey with Peter, James, and John on one to the most pivotal moments of J e s u s ’ p u b l i c ministry. Opening t h e W o r d i s a dynamic journey into the Sunday readings that will help you apply the Word of God more deeply to your daily life.
