SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2017 Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time "The Church is called to come out of herself and to go to the peripheries, not only in the geographical sense but also to go to the existential peripheries: those of the mysteries of sin, of pain, of injustice, of ignorance and of religious indifference, of thought, of all misery. Bergoglio's Conclave

New Landscaping Celebration Garden Check out the plans on the board in the Commons to view the concept for Sheil's Celebration Garden, south of our building. In cooperation with the University, we are re-landscaping that area to enhance our curb appeal and to make a more natural garden which supports birds and butterflies. It s hard to see any tree go, but the trees that were there were all non-natives that were not supportive of declining local wildlife, and were growing through the fence. We love trees, and are planning to plant new trees, and shrubs, perennials and grasses, that will provide shelter, nectar and food for birds and butterflies. The plan calls for a Red Oak, a Tupelo, Witch Hazel, Dogwood, Crab apple, Pines and Firs. The new garden areas will still allow for celebrations to happen on the lawn-and we are calling it the Celebration Garden. We will end up with a much nicer space that is more supportive of birds, butterflies, and us humans. Volunteers Needed for the Sheil Sunday Nursery Student volunteers are needed in the Sheil Nursery for Sunday morning Masses. The nursery is open to infants, toddlers and preschool children. If you would like to serve our community as a nursery volunteer please contact Natalie Conrardy. at nlake@orthosns.com.
