Dear Parishioners and Friends of our Parish,
As this beautiful summer comes to a close, I invite you once again to consider all the social and faith-deepening
events our parish offers. As you enjoy the many photos in this issue, please consider inviting a friend, neighbor,
coworker to come and share with you some of these vital signs of our parish’s community life.
St. Ignatius, founder of the Jesuits, was recently quoted by Pope Francis as saying: “Love is more shown in
deeds than in words.” There are ways for all of us to take these words and to make them real in our lives.
There’s something for everyone at Star of the Sea, thanks to the many volunteers in the varied activities
throughout the year. Perhaps you could add your hands to the many tasks to continue this life-giving work.
And, please remember to support our Grand Annual collection which begins this September.
May God bless you and your loved ones!
