Parish Registry
We have created a Family Registry form, containing a place to record sacramental information for every member of a household, as well as helpful contact information. We ask all of our parishioners to fill one out by any of several methods - they are available at the welcome table in the church, or you can download a form at this link, complete it online or print and complete by hand. Completed forms can be e-mailed to Bob DeHaven at [email protected] or you may leave it with Manny, Pat, Bob DeHaven or anyone on the Bishop's Committee.

 

Thank you for your help in creating this record of our community and ministry!

Thank you, Fr. Paul, for your gifts of music, laughter and humble service to the Church.  Thank you for sharing your spirit, your talents and your gracious kindness.  You have blessed us all and we are all the better.  God bless you.  Welcome home,dear brother, welcome home.

Go Forth and Proclaim the Gospel
Lectionary
Just a reminder:  After the 10am Liturgy on Sunday morning, August 26th, all who are interested in preaching at St. Nicholas are asked to meet.  We shall gather in the Sacristy/Pantry Room, which is in the northwest corner of Holy Innocents Hall.  All are welcome to share their voices in proclaiming the Word.
Crafts / Games Night - August 31
On August 31st, Friday night, 6:30pm, we will have a Crafts and Games Night.  Bring your favorite craft to work on and perhaps teach others.  Bring your domino set to play "train."  Depending if we have enough material, we can make more Prayer Blankets.  Or, just bring along some munchies to share as we play, chit-chat and enjoy the company of one another.  Coffee and cookies will be available, and if you'd like bring along some pizza, that's fine, too.
