Dear Friends,
As many ministries and parish activities start up again in this time of the year, one spring/summer ministry is continuing into the fall at Saint Catherine’s. “Lemonade on the Porch” has been a long time enjoyable moment to gather following Sunday mass. It’s a wonderful opportunity to gather with parishioners, those folks visiting and to meet new people from the communities of our two parishes.
Volunteers make the lemonade and provide goodies! The goodies can be sugar based, fruit, or whatever the volunteers wish to provide. This past summer “Lemonade on the Porch” has been so successful under the direction of Charlene Merrill.
Because of its success “Lemonade on the Porch” will shift to a new name. “Tailgate on the Porch” will bring us into our fall days offering refreshments after the Sunday mass.
I am happy to be hosting “Tailgate on the Porch” this weekend with the help of members from this year’s Parish Pastoral Council. It will be an opportunity to meet its membership and familiarize ourselves with the women and men who generously serve on Council.
This year’s Parish Council is made up Meg Chaides (SCS), Tom Cincebox (SCS), Frank Gacioch (SCS), Skip Lehman (SCS), Lindsey Ricci (SCS), Charlene Weeks (SCS), Youth Rep Keaton Yates (SCS), Bob Ciccone (T), Linda Gintner (T), Rebecca Hartman (T), Mike Lutz (T), Mike Schell (T), Diane Yacoby (T), and Youth Rep Sarah Gargano (T).
I hope you may stop by and meet these good women and men from our two faith communities.
Come enjoy, “Tailgate on the Porch”!
See you then.
Blessings to all,
Father Rob
