ANNOUNCEMENTS GRATEFUL THANKS to all the pictorial directory
volunteers who helped organize, schedule and host parishioners for photo sessions this summer. From June 3-4 through July 8-9, Donna McClung, Oscar Gonzales and their volunteers scheduled parishioners after all weekend Masses for photo sessions. Then during three weeks in July, we had wonderful parishioners who gave their time, checking in families and manning the reception area during each and every photo session. These volunteers were coordinated by Melissa Fields. Ryan Edgerly and other members of the Pastoral Council have also been extremely supportive in coordinating all aspects of this large project with Life Touch, the company responsible for our directory. This was a team effort and could not have been accomplished without these dedicated parishioners!! Thank you to everyone who gave their time to make this happen!
