Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The rummage sale and all that happened before and after once again showed the great community that exists in this parish. The volunteers that came forward for setting up , for selling and for cleanup were unbelievable. There was fun and laughter and great sense of achievement and I promise I will not mention a garage/rummage sale for a least another year. When we work together we can do great things. Dinner Dances, Summerfest, the Blood Drive, the Rummage sale, the weekly cleaning crew, the counters and all involved in the religious education programs have and continue to show us that we have come a long way. There have been growing pains and missteps but together we are building a faith community that cares. Faith is a journey and we journey together. Thank you for all you do and for being part of my journey of faith. As we begin the Family Centered Faith Formation program let us continue to give an example by word and deed that will encourage our young and old to grow together in faith. Let us be a light shining on the hilltop. In the meantime plans for the rectory are to and fro between the architect and the diocese but we are getting there. The Journey Continues, Fr Karl
