SEPTEMBER EVENTS

My dear Confirmation Candidates and Families,

I am very amazed that so many of you, if not all, have already made so much progress in performing the Christian Service Projects. Many of you, I was told, had helped with the Interfaith Hospitality Network and also with the cleaning up and putting things in order at the school. I also would like to commend those who performed their services in various institutions other than our local parish.

I would like to remind all of you of the two (2) upcoming events this September.
