Celebrate Family in the Month of September
Eat together on September 25
"Faithfulness Around the Table"
The purpose of Family Day is to promote and strengthen all families and the parish family. The parish celebration of Family Day is meant to include all ages and stages of family life—children; those not married; elderly; adolescents and young adults; engaged and newly married; widowed and divorced; married for any number of years; grandparents; adoptive, natural and stepparents; clergy and religious; and those who live alone. These diverse families, and any we may not have mentioned, are all members of God’s family as we come together to worship and celebrate in our parish family/community. The Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, gives us the strength and graces to know that our family is sacred through ordinary life. We are the Body of Christ, the Family of God.
