Tree Project update: thanks to Diane McClug in Plano I am looking into some possibilities.

November 4: we are planning a Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast. More on the ritual later.  We are talking about putting pictures & candles on a table on the stage or just on the stage.  Other ideas are welcome.

Any adults or families interested in a spiritual growth program after Masses during the winter?  Jane Williams has offered to coordinate it.  I may even get to sit in occasionally.  J.S.

I am looking for someone who lives in the area of Parker & Ohio who would be willing to bring Marie Green to Sunday Mass.  She is now living at Sunrise Retirement.  J.S.

See you Sunday.
