(2) 90^TH BIRTHDAY OPEN HOUSE: Everyone is invited to an Open House honoring Al Busada’s 90th birthday on Saturday, October 23, from 3:00-6:00 pm at the home of Darren and Amy Minks. Join us for great food and a “Life in Pictures” tribute. Your presence is present enough, please.

(3) NEW PROTECTIVE FILM ON WINDOWS: You may have noticed that there is now a film on our west facing windows to help reduce fading on our new carpet. It is important that we do not put any tape or adhesive of any kind on this film. We also ask that children not climb or stand on the low window sills, as we don’t want to accidentally have any damage to the film. Thanks for helping care for our beautiful facility.

(4) TEACH ME THY STATUTES PODCAST: If you would like to listen to this week’s Teach Me Thy Statutes podcast (with Fr Aaron & Jason Ewertt), you can find it here: https://tmts.transistor.fm/.

(6) PASTORAL VISITS: If you would like a pastoral visit for any reason, or if you know of a family member/parishioner who needs a visit, please feel free to contact me.

Yours in Christ,

Fr Aaron
