Announcements:
 
Attention Men: Do you have a plan in place that will take your life to the next level? Men around the world are stepping-up to the RISE challenge this September 17. Will you join us?
As men we’re under a lot of pressure, at work and at home. Whether you’re single, a father with kids at home, married with no kids at home, divorced or widowed, we all need help balancing the demands of each day. I invite you to take a 30-Day Challenge with me and the men of our parish called RISE. It only takes about 5 minutes each morning, but it will give you the tools you need to take your life and relationships to the next level.
 
For parents of Grade Two children, the First Reconciliation and First Communion preparation sessions will begin in late September.  A parent information session will take place on Thursday, September 20th, 7:00 pm at our Lady of the Snows.  Children in Grade Three and above who have not received the sacraments are also welcomed to attend.
