Abatement of the building continues. For those unfamiliar, this involves the safe removal of hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead.  The contractor has now removed all the interior flooring and plaster and has found a few surprises. Surprises are general a good thing but not in construction. In this case, the surprise is another layer of unseen material, which will need to be removed. This will take a few more days, and dollars, to address. Thank you for your support and prayer. 

 
Dear Fellow Parishioners:
Last weekend we introduced our parish’s new initiative for making our great community even better and more effective in living up to our mission statement: “To hear the gospel and make a difference.” Fourteen months ago, Fr. Paulson gave our core team the task of designing a program for parish adults, one created BY our parishioners FOR our parishioners. Our team ranges in age from those in their 20s to seniors. Over the past year, we have worked to create a renewal program that meets Fr. Paulson’s “home grown” goal.

We are calling this new initiative ctkAlive!.

      This program aims to develop a close-knit community—despite the size of our congregation. We want to be a parish family that strives to gain an even deeper, more mature understanding of our Catholic faith. We want to expand the scope of our prayer lives, by exploring time-honored Catholic spiritual traditions. And we hope to re-energize our faith-filled social action ministries, meeting needs close to home and beyond the physical reach of our local community. In doing so, we will fulfill Pope Francis’s challenge to all Catholics everywhere: don’t just be disciples of Christ, become “missionary disciples.”
       Starting in 2018, we will offer ctkAlive! at least 3 times a year over the next three years. The program consists of 6 sessions (once a week). Each session has 3 parts: updating our understanding of our Catholic faith and practice; deepening our prayer lives; and exploring new ways to take part in our parish’s service outreach at home and abroad. Last weekend, people told us they had been looking for “something” to help grow their faith. Well ctkAlive! is that something. This fall (Wednesdays, Sept. 27-Nov. 8, 7-9 p.m.), we invite you to take part in a pilot program. Your participation and timely feedback will help us fine tune the process. If you’d like to attend—and help in some capacity—signup forms are available in the vestibule. [Return them to an usher or the parish office.] We look forward to sharing ctkAlive! with you in the months and years ahead.

Your ctkAlive! Core Team
