Letter from Father Jantz  

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Our parish picnic is coming up on July the 3^rd, and I’d like to extend a personal invitation to our whole parish! God has blessed us so richly over the past year, and it will be great for us to come together to give thanks. The Knights will be cooking up burgers and hotdogs, and we ask each family that participates to bring a dish to share. The picnic will run from 12pm to 3pm. My hope is that we’ll get a good turnout and that this can become a parish tradition.

The reason for choosing to do the parish celebration next weekend isn’t just because it’s 4^th of July weekend and everyone is already in a cookout mood. In the Church’s calendar next Sunday is also the Feast of St. Thomas. Since he is our parish’s patron saint, we are able to celebrate him on a Sunday. You’ll notice that our weekend Masses will use red vestments in his honor. (Red is the color that symbolizes the apostles, since almost all of them shed their blood for Christ.)

I look forward to seeing you at the picnic next week, as we celebrate our holy patron. As we enjoy this summer as a parish family, let’s continue to give thanks to God in all things.

God bless,

Fr Jantz
