BULLETIN CONNECTION At first glance today's Gospel may seem to have two parts to it: Peter's confession of faith in Jesus and Jesus' commission to Peter as "rock" of the Church. But what is revealed in this scene from St. Matthew's Gospel with Peter is really what happens in the life of each Christian. |
| CONTINUING OUR TRADITION - August 14, 2005 Goal - $1,500,000.00 Total paid to date (pledge payments and additional gifts) $1,383,801.70 Pledge still outstanding $ 116,198.30 $1,500,000.00 In June Father David sent letters to all with outstanding campaign pledges. Those with inactive pledges were asked to contact the parish office indicating their intentions. For those who have not contacted either Father David or Janice Frakie, soon the Finance Committee will be doing follow-up calling. We appreciate the kindness of all who continue to give gifts and make pledge payments. Thank you! |
