2 Page 2 A NOTE FROM FATHER ANDREW Dear Friends, I hope you are enjoying this summer weather. If you have some time on the weekend to help with the set-up of the festival it would be greatly appreciated. Remember Wednesday evenings at 6:00pm and Saturday mornings at 10:00pm. Last weekend was the last session of our Faith Formation Program LIFT. I want to thank the LIFT teams, especially Rich Vosler for his leadership and for getting the family faith formation program in place for the parish. Registration packets are ready for next year and if you didn t have a chance to pick one up last weekend, look for them in the mail. Please get them back to us as soon as you can because we will be doing a lot of planning over the summer. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekend. Have a wonderful week. Fr.
