Note to Councils and all Commission Members: Parish Council, Finance Council, Liturgy Commission, Service Commission, and Community Commission You will remember that prior to our Novena to St. Jude, I spoke briefly at the weekend Masses regarding the status of our Councils and Commissions. I am now requesting that all leaders and members of the Councils and Commissions attend a joint meeting in the Community Room on Saturday, December 8th, immediately following the 4:00 PM Mass, to discuss this further. Please mark your calendars now in order to make certain that you all will be able to attend. Pax Christi, Father Jim
