Saturday.  The house will need about 18 Saturdays of work.

4.  Note: I worked with Bona Responds this week in OK City and hand delivered our community's support, $1000.  They are enormously grateful and I am so grateful to be part of you people, such a generous community.  I have returned home physically and emotionally worn out.  More details coming.

Footnote: twice in the past month I have been so proud to be part of you people, our community.  I was told in OK that Bona Responds' single biggest support is you folks.  Earlier, Brent told me the same thing about Soul's Harbor and you folks.  I am most humbled to be part of you.  Thanks.

Very Important Please Read

John Stack and Rosemary are still Covid positive.  Even if they turn negative by Friday, it is probably better for all concerned that we do not come together for Mass on Sunday.  Therefore there will not be a live Mass at the Art Centre on Sunday.  Mass will be on Zoom at the link below.

Also Important

Starting Sunday, September 11th, we will be meeting at:

Art Centre of Plano

902 E. 16th St, Plano

Please use the Haggard Park side entrance.

Sorry, Everybody,

The old editor left out two notices from the Reminder bulletin:

1.    We are collecting for Dressed for Success ladies dresses and clothing, especially size 18 & up.  On top of this just about any clothing is welcomed.  Bill Hammond will gather everything into his car and take them to their office/warehouse.

2.   We are doing our Advent food drive.  Ken & Cindy will collect and deliver the food.  The items especially appreciated: 

Food Drive:  canned meats (like chili, ravioli, etc.), personal care items (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, etc.), peanut butter and jelly, macaroni.  These are the items that disappear the quickest, but they really can use any food or household items.
