In the early hours of Sept 13, Uncle Don Ogle passed away. He was married to our Aunt Ona, and they were happy together. When she came down with cancer the second time, he took extremely good care of her. He will not be forgotten.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:4-6
Received the following information from Mark Welch: Beginning Monday Sept. 23, 7 p.m. – 9 p.m., in the Parish Hall, St. Mary’s in Pittsfield will offer a weekly class on the Catholic faith.This class will cover the apostle and nicene creed, baptism, confirmation, eucharist, confession, anointing of the sick, priesthood, marriage and the ten commandments. This class is commonly called The Right of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and may be used for persons who wish to become members of the Catholic faith. However, it is also used for anyone who has an interest in Catholic teaching and would like to learn more. Many Catholics use the class as continuing education. The classes are offered for free and will be instructed by Fr. Mark Schulte. The classes conclude at Easter.
Pittsfield High School Class of 1973 luncheon will be Sept. 27 at the Cardinal Inn at noon. All classmates and significant others are welcome to attend.
There will be a bingo night Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Barry
