Visit the classrooms, computer room, science lab, library and families and students. Parishioners are also welcome, those who have not been in the school for a number of years, stop by to see what is new. Hope to see you there.

The conversation includes updating and enhancing our technology communications. Electronic bulletin boards and email blasts reminders are part of this discussion. Just wondering what others in the parish think. Let us know - on this blog, in the suggestion box, talking with a Council member or the staff.

As the Catholic faith has it's mysteries, so does Fr. Joe. We certainly displayed a strong sense of feowship in the offer for free dinner, entertainment, open bar and camaraderie to our parish family. It would make a Protestant envious that we are using a long standing feature of theirs. Above all, wasn't it great the way raffle (cash) winners returned their prizes all in a way to show support for the new air conditioner! They all displayed how much Fr. Joe means to them.

We are considering at least three sessions to give an overview of the process of how this came about, what the differences will be and how to implement along with music for the parts for the people. stay tuned....Fr.

Joe Mon, 23 May 2011 20:01:50 +0000 http://blog.stjosephbristol.org/?p=17#comment-3 I am considering a fall offering of once a week going over a part of the Mass after the daily 9:00 a.m. Mass. I am wondering if a few more parishioners would come to something like that to prepare for the new translation and better understanding of the Eucharistic liturgy. Fr.

She explains how the changes of the wording help move the liturgy from ordinary words to more powerful expressions of our faith.
