Reminders for those interested

Hi everybody,

Just a reminder that the October Saint Supper is this Wednesday at Saint Mary's. My friend Clare is leading them this year and they are all centered around Marian feast days. Anyway, the supper is potluck - plan to arrive at 5pm for the "lesson and activity" followed by dinner.

Also, this Friday is Adoration at Saint Patrick's 3-4 unless Allison has other info on that.

My brother in law is being moved to Boston today. They've assembled a surgical team and are no longer talking heart transplant but are planning on a repair so prayer is working - thank you. My family and I are still praying for a miracle. As it is, his surgery will be 12-14 hours and he will be in ICU recovery for 6 weeks minimum according to the doctors. I'll let you know when the surgery is and humbly request special prayers for him and my sister's family during that time.

Thank you and God bless you all and your faith.

Apple Orchard Field Trip

Hi all,

Mark your calendars.

Our first field trip is at Rocky Ridge Apple Orchard on October 11 at 1:00 pm.

The cost is $4 per child, adults are free.

It includes a hayride, an apple picked from a tree, and a small pumpkin.

Does anyone mind if I invite some families from the homeschool league?
Including Katie Williams and Linda Dumonts families, and a few others.

(I understand if you would rather keep it to us, just let me know.)

Upcomming Stuff!!

I am so eager for us to get together I thought it was all THIS week...but it's not! 

Next Week Tuesday the 24th we will meet at Stacy's from 6-8 pm.  Bring finger food to share and stuff to pray about and discuss! 

Then the following Saturday is the Michaelmas party at Stacy's too--boy she's outdoing herself this month!! ;)

I'm going to check on our St. Benedict Abbey reservation because I'm eager for that too!!!

Does everyone likt the new background?  Stacy said the former background gave her seizures or something.

Got All the Tools I need!

OK, I know I am spending too much time on the blog that few read--but I am trying out Firefox as a browser to see if I can post with little details like paragraphs!!

So far so Good!!  I even have spell check on my tool bar!  YAHOOO!! Well I'd like to have more to say but am too stressed by late dinner and crying kids, but really need to go care for lovely children.  Had a fabulous time at the lighthouse remembering the battle fought 200 years ago today.  Really moving and wonderful!  Let's talk about Saturday prayer and fasting plans!  What has Pope Francis said?

First Friday

This Friday is our First Friday Holy Hour from 3-4 at St. Patirck's. Sadly, there is a funeral for the granddaughter of a parish family that day. As a result the Eucharist will not be on the alter, although the church will be open. I will be there with my children and would love everyone to still come. Jesus is present in the tabernacle!! Here is the link to the young adult child's obituary. She suffered from mental health issues and the family is consoled that she is no longer suffering.

Happenings!!

Has everyone started school?!! We are getting a late start on day 2--clearly posting on the homeschool blog supersedes actual homeschooling!! Tomorrow from 3-5 at Pemaquid Light there is a presentation about the 1812 battle that took place there on Sept 5. We would love to see people there--if you need a pit stop at my place before or after! Free! ALSO! You must have heard about the day of fast and prayer Pope Francis has called for this coming Saturday for the intention of peace in Syria. I was wondering what you and your families are planning to do. I have only just asked my people to think about it--and my in-laws are in town visiting, so it might not go over well to tell them we are not serving food on Saturday hahhahahaha! So far all I can think of is a family Rosary....maybe fasting from dessert----which looks lame as I type it, The suffering people in Syria deserve more, and certainly the politicians need more!!!! ALSO!!!!! Don't forget the parish picnic and celebration of Our Lady's Birthday this Sunday in Boothbay!! Sept 24 First Meeting at Stacy's! God Bless You All!!
