Greetings! I hope this finds you well and enjoying the peace of the Lord.
Your "Tower Team" met this week to plan activities for our Contrada and we had a fantastic session. We have many ideas for faith formation, service opportunities, community outreach, and social events. We're taking the preliminary steps required to put these ideas into action and we'll soon be asking you to get involved. Come to the meet-and-greet Monday to hear more.
Upcoming Events! July 12 - Meet-and-Greet: Griffin's Restaurant in downtown Youngsville.
August 7: I'm happy to say our Tower Contrada is sponsoring Retreat led by Father Tighe on Saturday, August 7th from 8:30AM until Noon. The morning will include Mass, reflection, prayer and time together with friends and with Our Lord. Thank you Jayne Gallo for pursuing this! September 18th - Tower Contrada Mass: Instead of a potluck afterward we plan to hold a picnic before the Mass. More details will follow but we'll have an afternoon of fellowship and begin to prepare the Contrade Games that will be held at the second annual Festival of Flags on 10/09/10. On that day, in addition to a beautiful outdoor Mass and a day of entertainment and fun for the family, the Games will likely include a beanbag toss tournament, relay races, a talent show, a Tug O' War tournament, and a Jeopardy style "knowledge of the faith" competition.
October 9 - Second Annual Festival of Flags
I hope to see you this coming Monday (07/12) at 6:00 at Griffin's restaurant in Youngsville for our next meet-and-greet.
Peace, Will Stolz Contrade Servant Contrada of the Tower tower.contrada@gmail.com
Heavenly Father, your glory is in your saints. We praise your glory in the life of the admirable St. Catherine of Siena, Virgin and Doctor of the Church. Her whole life was a noble sacrifice inspired by an ardent love of Jesus, your unblemished Lamb. In troubled times she strenuously upheld the rights of His beloved spouse, The Church.
Father, honour her merits and hear her prayers for each of us, and for our whole parish family dedicated to her. Grant also to each of us our special petition: (pray for your own intentions) & for the success of our quiet campaign, SANCTUSOPUS.ORG. We ask this through Jesus, your Son, in the bond of the Holy Spirit. Amen
