Visit from the Archbishop

 Dear Brother Knights,

 

I trust this email finds you all in good health and high spirits.

 

I am writing to share some exciting news that I received from the Archbishop's office yesterday. His Excellency, Archbishop Blair, will visit our beloved parish St. John Paul the Great Parish, this coming Sunday. He will be celebrating the 10 AM Mass at St. Francis.

 

I acknowledge that this information comes at short notice and that many of you may already have plans in place for the weekend. Despite the abrupt timing, I felt it was crucial to promptly share this news with you.

 

This is a significant event for our parish, reinforcing our shared faith and commitment. The Archbishop's presence is a moment of honor and a chance for us to come together as a community in worship and fellowship.

 

With this in mind, I would like to invite you to attend this Mass if your commitments allow. Your presence would symbolize our collective dedication to the Church and provide a valuable opportunity for us to interact with His Excellency.

 

I appreciate that this short notice may not allow everyone to adjust their schedules accordingly. However, should circumstances permit, I believe this unique opportunity to partake in the Mass celebrated by the Archbishop will be an enriching experience for us all.

 

I look forward to, hopefully, seeing you at the Mass. As we gather, let us use this occasion to deepen our community's bonds further and celebrate our shared faith.

 

Thank you for your continued commitment to St. John Paul the Great Parish. Your support is instrumental in making our parish a thriving community of faith, and I am confident that together, we can make the Archbishop's visit a memorable event.

 

Best regards,

 

Fr. Emmanuel

 Rumor is Pizza will be making an appearance. 

 We need to confirm officers for 2023-2024 and also plans for our Memorial Mass. Streaming is planned. 

Attention - Activities this week!

 We have been asked to help out at two events this week.

One is the Corpus Christi Procession

It starts after the 10 am Mass on this Sunday, June 11th and will be a procession to Coe Park.

This is where they are looking for assistance to help keep people safe during the procession.

Also - this has just come up.

Graduation for St John Paul the Great Academy is this Friday and they are in desperate need of volunteers to help with parking, as there is an event at the Warner AND the Lions Club car show is taking up all of downtown.  

If you can help from about 5 - 6:30 on Friday, it would be great - you could then go over and see the car show!

To sign up for either - please email kocsolidarity55@gmail.com or call or text  860-307-5204 ASAP so we can plan.

Thanks!
