Pastoral MessageJune 14, 2026

From the Pastor's Desk: Annual Appeal, Msgr. Tom Update, Graduate Congratulations, Retreats

BECAUSE WE ARE CATHOLIC 2026 ANNUAL APPEAL Many thanks to those who have made a pledge to the Because We are Catholic Annual Appeal. Our Parish goal is $114,100. Thank you to those who pledged. Every gift counts, no matter how small. Your generosity funds the annual budget for important Diocesan ministries in our area. (Online at BecauseWeAreCatholic.org.)

Msgr. Tom update- As you might know, Msgr. Tom fell and broke his left arm on April 29th. He is approaching 8 weeks— no weight on it——and will see the Doctor on June 24th. God-willing, he'll get good news and will be able to return to Notre Dame—— and finally— start therapy. He is grateful for the cards, notes, gifts and prayers that have come his way. So—pending a good report, you might see him on Saturday, June 27th at the 4:30 Mass.

Congratulations Graduates! Msgr. Tom extends his sincere congratulations to all of our graduates—- Pre-School, Grade School, High School, and College. He would like to extend his traditional "Notre Dame Prayer Book," —- as a gift to all high school seniors who call the rectory (610-866-4371, ex. 10, & leave your name and number!. We will let you know when you can pick up your prayer book in the Rectory or Sacristy.

Take a private retreat with Jesus! Daily: enter thru ramp entrance, and spend some quiet time with Jesus- until 3PM!
