Parish News and Weekly Bulletins and Sacramental Information
Hello,
Such a beautiful day and my husband is smoking ribs for dinner. I am so lucky.
If you read this email before this evening, a quick reminder that tonight is St. Monica Movie Night. The feature movie is Courageous.
On a personal note, my husband, John, and I have decided that we can no longer sing "every" week at the Saturday 5pm Mass. The problem is that we just don't only sing but we do set-up every week. At this time, we do not have anyone who is accompanying us and singing acapella has its challenges. We will give it a try to be there every two weeks but if there is someone out there who plays the guitar or the piano, has the ability to pick up music quickly and would like a new challenge of playing for us, we would be more than happy to meet with you and see if we could work together to provide music for the congregation. I am still not sure if we could go back to singing every week since we are older now. Please pray for us and for other people to come forward to join the music ministry at St. Andrew Parish.

Have a wonderful weekend.
God bless,
Janice
