JULIET LUNCHEON, (aka.,just us ladies into eating together), September  7,   Hi Everyone,

Hope you are having a good summer. We are in Rochester where it is cooler and having a great time. 

I have set up our next Juliets Luncheon for Friday, September 7th at Ocean Seafood and Grill at 12:00 Noon.  Please let me know who will be attending.  I have called in a reservation for 18 already.  It is a BYOB and the food very good and reasonable.  This is always a favorite restaurant.  Hope to see all of you then.

Don't have the exact address with me but it is on Spring Creek and Coit Road behind the Chic-fil-A in Plano.

See ya soon,  Marilyn

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.

   Dear Father Stack,

   Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

   I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

   I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

   Thanks, Anthony DeGenova                                                                                                                                                                            

   Dear Stack Ministry,

   Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

   If you have any questions, please contact me at:

   Telephone: 972-495-3639

   Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

   I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

   Anthony DeGenova

Happy 41st  to you, Hue and Linda.
