August!

Dear Friends,

Okay, it's been a few months since I blogged. Sorry about that. "They" keep saying that it will slow way down in the parish during the summer, but "they" must not know about St. Ignatius Martyr! June and July were fairly busy here as many of our programs continued, our liturgies were well-attended and celebrated, and renovations on the school ceiling were fully underway. (The new ceilings and lights look fantastic, and everything was done on time.)

Even though our teachers are preparing to set up their classrooms and welcome students in a couple of weeks, summer is not over! Please remember to take some time for yourself over these next few weeks to pray and relax a little, if possible. It will, no doubt, get busier soon enough. But as Jesus said, "Let tomorrow take care of itself; sufficient for a day is its own problems" (Mt 6:34). May God bless you abundantly during this grace-filled time.
