August continued to be a busy month for our Men’s Ministry. We had a great turnout for our monthly meeting when Gary Dorighi presented pictures and video from his recent Nat Geo trip to Alaska. We provided traffic control for the monthly Our Lady of Fatima procession.   We were also called on to provide traffic control and parking support for the  St. Francis Jubilee Mass and Dedication of the Ohlone Memorial Garden with Bishop Barber. Thank you to the many people who helped at this event at short notice as many of us were out of town on vacation or at family gatherings.   

Our last August event will be the funeral Mass for Kenny Zulawski on Saturday August 29 at 12pm. Kenny was a was a faithful member for many years and Fr. Manny will preside. I know that his family will greatly appreciate our support by attending and wearing our blue shirts.

We will have our monthly general meeting on Sep 1 and on Sep 15 will provide traffic control for the monthly Our Lady of Fatima procession. Other dates to add to your calendar are Nov 20-22 for our annual retreat at the St. Francis Retreat center, Dec 5 for our annual Christmas party. Also for our October general meeting on Oct 6, we will have a special guest speaker, so you won’t want to miss this meeting.

God bless,
Tom
