A note from Sr. Susan:
|
As Fr. Casey mentioned in the bulletin
this week, I will be embarking on an exciting adventure starting
this Fall.
I am very grateful to Fr. Casey for his kindness and support
in making this time possible for me.
My religious congregation, the School Sisters of Notre Dame,
has invited me to spend September to June in
international study. From September to December, I will be
in Los Andes, Chile learning Spanish and the
culture. From January to June, I will be in Rome with the
7 other sisters who are part of this program.
In the summer of 2009, I will return to St. Agatha with great
joy. I expect that the sabbatical
time will have enriched me in ways that I can bring back to
all of you, both directly and indirectly.

letter explaining my new adventure. |

ROSARY RESOURCES
FOR KIDS
Do you remember what Fr. Charlie, Deacon Dan, and his friends
from Puppetville taught you about the Rosary last week?
A Rosary is a prayer where we join Mary as she remembers stories
about her son, Jesus. Mary wants to share the story of their
lives together with us because the stories tell us how much
God loves us and can help us no matter what is going on in
our lives or how we feel.
There are many excellent on-line resources geared to children
on teaching them how to pray the Rosary.
Four of them include:

REMEMBER: Bubba referred to the Rosary as…….

May 2007 - Pastoral Planning Report |
In January 2006, Cardinal Sean O’Malley
identified three areas of pastoral life that he considered
particularly challenging for the archdiocese today—Faith
Formation, Marriage, and Pastoral Planning. He appointed a
committee to study each area and charged each committee with
bringing its findings and recommendations to him and to the
Presbyteral and Archdiocesan Pastoral Councils. In elaborating
on his charge to the Pastoral Planning Committee, the Cardinal
asked that the Committee look at what exists in terms of services
and programs; review the best practices locally and nationally;
and formulate recommendations and priorities to guide the
archdiocese into the future. |
