The Corpus Christi St. Vincent De Paul Conference will sell rickets for the Art Raffle fundraiser after Masses this weekend. Prices are $2 for a single ticket, or $5 for three tickets. The drawing will be Tuesday, September 17 at the Conference meeting.

We hope the St. John basement work will begin October 24. It's delayed because the company doing the work is unable to find supplies. Groups may use the kitchen and basement until sometime near the start-of-work date. When work begins, the basement and kitchen will close. The stairs at the church entrance also will be blocked off, but the sanctuary stairs will be open. The recent flood damage created a bigger project. We hope that sump pumps and drainage systems prevent future damage, and correct the long-time basement drainage problem. Thank you to generous donors who contributed extra funds during our novena for parish improvement.

Classes are at St. John, Sunday after the 11:30 AM Mass, at the rectory. We are holding classes for ten weeks throughout the summer for teens and adults who want to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and/or Holy Communion). Classes cover Catholicism fundamentals including Prayer, the Church, Catholic moral teaching, the Sacraments, and the Creed. If you are interested, contact the Parish Office (751-8129 or [email protected]) or Deacon Tom Lovett [email protected]).

We are looking for people to teach part-time in these subjects: middle school science, humanities, and pre-Algebra. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your love for education and work with really great kids. Please note: Your employment will not impact your retirement benefits! For more information, please contact Lynn Cartularo at 802-751-8223 or email: [email protected]

Calling all Veterans! I am looking for the names of men and women, living and deceased, who served in the military from Notre Dame School, Mount St. Joseph School, St. Gabriel School, and Good Shepherd Catholic School. We would like to honor our veterans at a ceremony in the fall and need your help to gather their information. You can give names to Fr. Harlow directly, stop by the parish office, or via email at [email protected]. God Bless You! Fr. Lance W. Harlow

Daily Masses will keep their regular schedule during these three days of diocesan priest meetings. There is Mass Tuesday morning at 8:30 at St. John, no Mass Wednesday, and 5:00 PM Adoration followed by 6:00 PM Mass at St. John Thursday.
