Parish Thanksgiving Service
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25th @ 7:00pm

     Our Parish Thanksgiving Service will be held in the Church beginning at 7:00 pm. It will be co-sponsored by our two biggest parish groups, the Religious Education Program "PREP" families and our CYO basketball families. The event is geared to all of our parishioners, both individuals and families, young and not so young alike. Let’s set a good example for our kids and grand kids by joining together to GIVE THANKS as a parish family.

     In a world where so many, have so little, while we enjoy so much, many of us will want to set aside some quality time to be together as a faith community in order to give Honor, Glory and THANKS to God for the many blessings we enjoy every day. We thank God for the gifts Faith, Hope and Love, especially the love we share with God and our family members and friends. We give thanks for the gifts of food and drink, clothing and shelter, quality medical care, top notch education for our children. We give special thanks for living in America, the land of opportunity, where we enjoy religious liberty, freedom of speech and more rights and privileges than people in most parts of the world could ever imagine, or will ever know.

     Our parish family service will begin with many of our school children processing around the Church with special homemade posters and drawings depicting what they believe to be the spirit of Thanksgiving. Next, we will enjoy a Scripture Service with select readings and a brief homily. This will be followed by a procession of food items and paper goods or cash, to the altar as our adults and children bring forth offerings for the less fortunate of our community.

 "When I was hungry, when I was thirsty….Whatsoever you did for the least of My loved ones that you did unto Me.”

Excavation Work ALERT!

Dear parishioners,

      The PREP parking lot drainage has now been completed, the trenches filled in and black topped. The area is now safe to drive or park on. We ran additional piping to help alleviate the flooding issue we sometimes experience over by the kitchen windows.

      This week, the crew is working on the side parking lot adjacent to the Church. This is a more complicated undertaking as there is a network of drainage, sewer and gas pipes underneath the surface. A lot of the work has to be carefully done by hand.  I have asked the contractor to fill in the pot holes around the front circle of the Church for the winter.  A more permanent fix is planned for “down the road.”

      I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to those of you who continue to honor your Renew and Rebuild pledges. Some of you have already paid off your pledge. The overall cost of this project is rather daunting so we welcome new gifts which, at this point, may be donated directly to the Saint Aedan Parish Capital Fund. The parish will keep 100% of this new money.  Since the project began, we’ve registered some 200 new households and it would be great if those of you who recently registered would step up and become “stakeholders” in the wonderful and exciting projects we have been undertaking, in order to keep our parish the beautiful and inviting place it is.

     Thank you for your continued flexibility and patience as we continue to move forward with our driveway-parking lot project.
 

Saint Aedan pray for us.

In Christ,
Msgr. Emmet Nevin, Pastor
