President's message - August 2024
|
|
|
While we encourage all to participate in the Parish cleanup on August 10, our main effort will be to provide a well-deserved BBQ lunch for all the helpers. This event will combine our summer BBQ with a parish wide attendance and consequently, could provide some good exposure if we show well. Please plan to save this date; we will have the details at our monthly meeting on Tuesday, August 6th.

If you enjoyed the June meeting on AI, be sure to check out our August Meeting. This will be a follow up to the June meeting where now techno-buff Ashley will demonstrate the real applications of this device. You are invited to bring your own questions and we will see how well it works. It should be an interesting evening.
|
Hope to see you in the Church Hall on Tuesday evening, 7:00pm on August 6th.
Light refreshments will be served.
|
Yours in Christian Brotherhood,
-Greg

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha – Lily of the Mohawks
|
|
Saint Kateri Tekakwitha was born in 1656 in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon, which is in present day New York. Her father was a Mohawk chief, and her mother was an Algonquin who had been baptized Catholic.
|

|
At a young age she and many in her village were afflicted with smallpox which left many scars on her face and impaired her eyesight. This outbreak killed her father, mother and little brother. Her name “Tekakwitha means “she who walks groping for her way”. She converted to Catholicism at the age of 19, on March 25th, 1679, and took a vow of perpetual virginity (she never married). She died on April 17th,1680 at the age of 24.

Saint Kateri was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II and she was canonized in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. She was the first Native American Saint in Canada and the United States.
