Fall Faith Sharing Groups to Begin October 19th
September 15, 2008 - Pope Benedict XVI has declared this year the "Year of St. Paul." What better way to experience the year of Paul, then by reflecting on his writings in a faith sharing group! Paul's 1st and 2nd Letters to the Thessalonians will be our focus. Thessalonians was chosen for a number of reasons: 1) it is a focus throughout the Sunday readings at Mass this fall, 2) it delivers a message of hope in the midst of life's trials, 3) it reminds us to stand firm in the Lord, 4) it gives us a chance to share our faith, and 5) it allows us to unite our trials not only to the cross of Christ, but to others in our faith community.
It is only a six-week commitment of approximately an hour and a half each week. Fr. Neil will "kick off" this season of faith sharing between morning Masses on Sunday, October 12. This will be a time to get materials, learn a deeper background on St. Paul, as well as the Thessalonians. The cost of materials is $8 per book.
** If you would like to preview the materials, please stop by the parish office during office hours, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Trish Lokmer, Director of Faith Formation, at tlokmer@seasp.org or 393-3778. Hope you will join us on this journey of faith!

Find the Ministry Schedule on the Calendar
April 27, 2007 - We have recently updated the calendar to include the ministry schedule or the assignment of altar servers, cantors, Eucharistic ministers, hospitality ministers, lectors, music ministers, sacristans, and ushers. You can access it by clicking the "Calendar" tab above. You can have the calendar show only ministry schedules by using the filter on the top left corner of the calendar page. Instead of seeing "All Events" just click the arrow to the right of that and drop down to select "Ministry Schedules." You may then select the date and Mass time you are interested in viewing. You should be able to now see who is assigned to serve in the various ministry roles for that particular Mass. In addition, you may see the entire schedule through September 3, 2007 by clicking, "click for more information" at the bottom of the an opened Mass time screen. The entire schedule is also available on the Liturgy Committee page. If you have any questions regarding obtaining the ministry schedule, please contact us.
