Offertory (242 out of 800 envelopes) $7,122.75; Votive $342; Assumption $ Parish Pastoral Council The Parish Pastoral Council will meet in the rectory this Tuesday, September 11, at 7:00 p.m. Picnic Second Collection In the past, Holy Rosary s Bingo made it possible for the parish to pay its assessments to the schools, help some families with tuition, and host community-building activities like our Summer Picnic, February Dance, and April s Spaghetti Dinner. The increased generosity of parishioners has helped somewhat. The reorganization of the parishes that will become Triumph of the Cross will help even more by lowering some expenses considerably. We would like to continue our festive, communitybuilding activities. To this end, next Sunday we will take up a second collection for our Social Activities Fund which will be used to support these activities. Please give generously. Holy Rosary s Parish Picnic is scheduled for September 30. Prayer Line Please keep the following in your prayers: Elvira Lamatrice and Katie Checkler. HRCS News Kindergarten will begin their full-day schedule on Monday, September 10th. Our annual "Meet the Teacher" Home and School meeting will be Tues, Sept 11, 7:00 pm, in the auditorium.
