Even though most of our parishioners are not affected much by the resumption of school (unless you get stuck behind a school bus that keeps stopping numerous times along the roads in the Village), the start of the school year means the resumption of religious education offerings for our children, young people AND adults.  I invite anyone and everyone in the parish to sign-up for the OREMUS (Latin for "Let Us Pray") program, an eight-week experience in which the participant grows in their prayer life at home and through a once-a-week video program and group discussions that happen at church.  I especially encourage those who participate in perpetual Eucharistic Adoration to participate in OREMUS as a good way to grow in your prayer options when you spend time with the Lord.  We are also urging all parishioners to invite and bring people to our first inquiry session into the Catholic faith on Thursday, September 18, in one of the classrooms in the Education wing of our church complex.  This session is open to any currect Catholic, any who have been away from the practice of the faith for awhile, and anyone who wants to inquire into the Catholic faith for the first time.  We will find out who's there and what questions people might have initially about the Catholic faith.  We are eager to see our ongoing evangelization efforts bear fruit in growing numbers of new Catholics and Catholics who are interested in reconnecting with their faith tradition or just becoming stronger Catholics.  I hope to see all of you at one of our religious educations offering for the Fall.
