Special Announcement

A Special Note from Cathy Bambanek 

My mom passed away Friday from congestive heart failure.  

Visitation is at 7:00PM-8 Tuesday, with a rosary at 8, more visitation until 9.  This is at Ted Dickey West on the George Bush Highway.

A funeral mass will be said at 10:30  Wednesday at St. Marks on 15th Street.  There will be a luncheon afterwards at the church and all are welcome to attend.  Then the cemetary at 1:30.  

I would love to have you come to any or all of them.

If you would like to bring something to the house, we need beer, wine, and appetizers to serve to relatives coming from out of town.  They will only be here Tues and Wed, so we do not need a lot of food.

My address is 2505 heather hill lane.

Thanks to all of you for being great friends.  Please pray for my family at this stressful time.

 

(Sorry, Cathy, I did not get this before publishing the Sunday blog.)

    Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

     

    “Father and Mother of all:

    We give thanks for food and remember the hungry,

    We give thanks for health and remember the sick,

    We give thanks for friends and remember the friendless,

    We give thanks for freedom and remember the enslaved.

    May our giving thanks stir us to service, that our blessings may be shared with others. Amen

    May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

    May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.
