 Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
The deaf man in today’s gospel had friends who brought him to Jesus for help. We are
often deaf to one another and don’t know it. We hurt others when we listen but do not
hear. Take a tip from the deaf man and his friends – recognize our deafness and then
ask God to heal us.

News from Parish Council…..

 Ms. Ivy Adams, Director of Music and Organist, gave the council a report on the music program.
The adult choir has 15 members and would gladly welcome more, the school choir which sings
at the school mass has 20 members, and the children’s choir which sings on the 1st and 3rd
Sundays at the 10:30 mass has only a few members and is definitely hoping that more will join
this fall when PSR classes begin. She also mentioned the need for more choir help for funerals
and instrumentalists for the holiday Masses. Currently, there are 5 regular cantors. She is trying
to vary the music selections picking those that are easier to sing and keeping them aligned with
the liturgy for a particular Sunday.
 Roof repairs on the center section of the school have been completed.
 Painting has been completed and new flooring in the pre-school will be completed soon.
 HVAC problems persist and are being addressed.
 The October council meeting will be open to all. Those wishing to ask a question should notify
the office in advance that they will attend and what their question will be.

in these struggles and uncertain times in our world. Come all. Learn, share and pray. The

meet from 7-8:30pm in the school gym to learn more and share our Faith. Please plan to join us and
