SEPTEMBER 13TH!

Does that date sound familiar?  It should!  Our Annual Parish Picnic takes place on that date at Camp Coniston.  Fr Bob celebrates mass at the chapel and then it’s on to the swimming, boating, eating and all the playing you can fit into one day!  Rain or shine, you can expect to have lots of fun!  So mark your calendars to save that date!

RETROUVAILLE...  A LIFELINE

Rediscover a loving marriage with a Retrouvaille (pronounced re-tro-vy) weekend.  If your marriage is tearing the two of you apart, if there is little or no meaningful communication, if you are considering separation or divorce, we believe Retrouvaille can help you.  Call 1-800-470-2230 or look us up on the web at www.HelpOurMarriage.com. The next New England Retrouvaille marriage renewal weekends will be held Sep 11-13, 2009, Jan 15-17, 2010 and Apr 16-18, 2010.
