Dear Friends in Christ,

In a small collection of quotes and stories entitled, “Children’s Letters to God”, one little boy writes: “God, what is it like to die? I don’t want to do it, I just want to know!” I think this little boy has touched on a universal truth. On Thursday, September 27^th at 10:00 am and again in the evening at 7:00 pm, our parish is going to host a funeral planning workshop. This will be an opportunity for us to talk about all of the planning and arrangements that we will want to think about in anticipation of that day when the good Lord calls us home. Even though it is not something we often want to think about, it is important both for us and for our loved ones who often have to make these arrangements for us when we’ve gone. I look forward to seeing you at one of our Funeral Planning Workshop on September 27^th.

Please also remember our prayer service in honor of St. Pio of Petrelcina, more familiarly known as Padre Pio, this Sunday, September 23^rd at 3:00 pm.

Peace+

Fr. Tom

Queridos Amigos en Cristo,

En una pequeña colección de citas e historias titulada, "Cartas de los niños a Dios", un niño pequeño escribe: "Dios, ¿cómo es morir? No quiero hacerlo, ¡solo quiero saber! "Creo que este niño pequeño ha tocado una verdad universal. El jueves, 27 de septiembre a las 10 a.m. y nuevamente por la tarde a las 7 p.m., nuestra parroquia será el anfitrión de un taller de planificación funeraria. Esta será una oportunidad para que hablemos sobre todos los planes y arreglos en los que querremos pensar antes de ese día en que el buen Dios nos llama a casa. Aunque no es algo en lo que a menudo queremos pensar, es importante tanto para nosotros como para nuestros seres queridos que a menudo tienen que hacer estos arreglos para nosotros cuando nos hemos ido. Espero verte en nuestro Taller de planificación funeraria el día 27.

Por favor recuerden también nuestro servicio de oración en honor a San Pío de Petrelcina, más familiarmente conocido como Padre Pio este domingo, 23 de septiembre a las 3 p.m.

Paz+

Padre Tom
