A continuation from last week....Catholic traditions encompass liturgical practices, sacraments, devotions, feast days, and cultural customs that connect believers to their faith and community.

As I mentioned a week or two ago, we are in need of a few people who would like to build a team to run and oversee our parish’s Street Sandwich Ministry (SSM). I have one person who would like to be involved with a few others to make this ministry continue. If people are uninterested, perhaps then the ministry has run its course? What is involved?

Two weeks ago I spoke at the Masses about parish repair and refurbishment projects that are requited. We are prioritizing what has to be done—and what can practically be done—as we cannot do everything simultaneously. These projects are not inexpensive, and they are basically due to old age: our parish just celebrated her 50th anniversary and as with all things, time takes its toll.
