Join us pho dinner!

Our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd year officially begins this next week (September 12th and 13th). We serve the children in our parish who are infants (really!) up through 6th graders. This year we have almost 200 children and 67 volunteers who will serve them over the course of four sessions. We are especially grateful to the Knights of Columbus who will be serving as our hospitality ministers and hallway monitors on Wednesday nights. It is such a joy to see the whole parish pitching in to keep our young people safe!

To celebrate the beginning of our year, our program would like to cordially invite you ALL to come for a special Pho Dinner on Wednesday, 9/12, either for lunch from 11:30am-12:30pm or for supper from 5:30-6:30pm in the parish hall. This dinner (which is a Vietnamese chicken noodle soup or fried rice) is free-will donation and proceeds will support our CGS program. (Want to help out? Click here!)

If you can't make it on Wednesday (and even if you can!) you can also celebrate the beginning of the year by participating in the parish Donut Sunday next weekened (9/17) which happens to be Catechetical Sunday. We will have our atria (rooms) open downstairs after both masses for you to take a look. You will be amazed at all that our parish volunteer catechists, assistants, and of course many generous and talented parishioners have accomplished. Our spaces are prepared and ready, and our newly-carpeted St. Dominic room is adorned with photos from Father Harris's parish trip to the Holy Land from a few years ago, and some beautiful prints of Pope St. John Paul II's visit to a CGS atrium in Rome.

All Saints has a long history of making children's formation a priority, and we are proud to carry on that tradition. Thank you for your support!
