You may notice that our new music director, Tim Wirth is
not with us this weekend. Sally Guidotti is filling in for him
as he is off getting married! We wish to congratulate Tim
and his new wife, Adriana as they begin their new life together
and offer our prayers for many happy years ahead.
       Adriana is a medical student at U Mass Medical and plans to
go into family practice when she finishes her training.
 Tim has truly helped us to make a seamless transition over
the past month or so. He brings his talent and his friendly
demeanor to this position. We are blessed and fortunate to
have him on our parish staff.
       It is hard to believe that October begins this weekend. The
weather has turned more seasonal and jackets are now in
order. My early morning walk with Abby necessitates
sweatshirts and pants along with that jacket. She loves the
cool weather. All summer she sleeps on the cool tiled bathroom
floor when she comes in from basking in the heat of
the sun! Who says dogs aren’t smart!
         Speaking of dogs, our annual Blessing of the Animals will
be taking place on Tuesday, October 4, at 4:45pm in the
parking lot behind the rectory, the actual Feast of St. Francis
of Assisi. All are welcome along with pet owners!! Looking
forward to that friendly get together!
