GREETINGS
FROM FR. BILL Thanks
from Our Lady of the Valley students: Last
weekend we took up a second collection for OLV school.
To those of you who contributed, I join all our students in thanking you for
your generosity. We collected a little over
$5000, which is so needed, so we can provide tuition assistance to families who simply
cannot afford to pay full tuition. If you have
not yet contributed and would like to do so, just place your contribution in an envelope
and mark if for OLV School. Well see
that it gets there Pictorial
Directory: Beginning
the weekend of September 11th
and 12th,
you will be able to sign up to have your picture taken for our new parish pictorial
directory. The actual pictures will be taken
beginning October 4th. Im really excited about this opportunity to
up date our directory since we have so many new families since the last directory was done
in 2002. Please plan to take part. Remember: if you have your picture taken, you are
entitled to a free directory and an 8x10 color print.
This is also an excellent opportunity to purchase pictures of your family
but there is absolutely no obligation to do so. Religious
Education: Just
a reminder that it is time to register your children for religious education classes at
Sacred Heart Parish. There are registration
forms on a table in the back of church. If you
have sons or daughters in 9th
and/or 10th
grades who will be attending confirmation classes this year, there is a mandatory
meeting
for confirmation students, their parents and their sponsors on Sunday, September 12th
at 1:00 PM. My
Absence from Sacred Heart: Just
a little advance warning that from September10th through the 26th,
I will be working with the Catholic community at St. Christopher by the Sea in Dutch
Harbor, Alaska. I made an agreement with them
last year when I was there to return and offer some adult religious education classes for
them. I will be doing that plus saying Masses
on the last three weekends of September. Fr.
Stan will be taking my place here in Wasilla while Im gone. If you are in need of a priest in an emergency,
please contact the parish office and Sheila will get in touch with Fr. Stan. Meeting
with Francis Cardinal George: This
coming Wednesday and Thursday the priests of Alaska will be meeting in Anchorage with
Cardinal George, the archbishop of Chicago. Cardinal
George is in town to speak at the Serra Club Convention over the Labor Day weekend. He has graciously agreed to speak to us priests
beforehand. Cardinal George is currently
President of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops.
Second
Collection for Special Projects: Next
Sunday there will be our normal monthly collection for the maintenance of our facilities. I want to clarify what these monies will be used
for. Whatever money we can raise from this
collection will be used for special projects like the fix-up of the St. Jude
Center entrance and the replacement of the purple benches in church. In other words, these types of projects will always
be dependent upon funding from this special, second collection.
