THE FEST
 

As the summer season begins, mark your calendar for the highlight of the summer season - The FEST. On Sunday, August 7^th, from 12noon until 10pm join together with thousands from across our diocese for a day of faith, family and fun. The 16^th Annual Catholic Family FESTival will be held on the grounds of the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe. The FEST features great Christian artists: Newsboys, Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, and Lauren Daigle, and has engaging activities and displays for the entire family. The FEST is free and open to all. The day concludes with an inspiring outdoor Mass at 8pm. It’s the highlight of summer, everything that your family needs for a great family day. For more information, go online to: www.theFEST.us

As the month of June begins, we know that summer is near. Each summer is packed with activities that will keep many people away from the parish on Sundays. Summer vacation trips, this summer’s dance celebration in Baltimore, and weekend activities will keep many of you away from St. Casimir’s for weeks at a time.

     I wish everyone have a safe and relaxing summer. I also remind you to participate at Mass every Sunday and Holy Day, and when you are away from the Parish on a weekend, to PLEASE make up for your missed offerings. Also, I ask that those who are able to make a generous contribution to our repair fund. We have several projects to complete this summer including parking lot repairs and major repair work that needs to be done on the air handling equipment in the Church building. The sooner we raise the money, the quicker we can get the projects completed.

     Our goal in all our repair projects is to maintain our buildings and property to provide a safe and inspiring place for worship, for conducting parish business, and providing space for the spiritual and cultural needs of all our members. Together, we can make this happen.
