Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 08/13/23

Please join me in welcoming back our children for their new school year here at All Saints this Wednesday, August 16th.  This new school year will be very special to all of us because of the new HVAC system being installed for our school.  This new system will last us for many years to come.  However, it is a great sacrifice for our church family to provide this nice system for our children, with one heating and air conditioning unit per classroom.  It costs around $700 thousand for this project, so we all need to put our hands and hearts together to help pay for it.  Please, parents, grandparents, relatives of our children, benefactors of our church and school, alumni of All Saints, and all good-hearted people, please help us with your contribution so that we can pay for this very important project for the good of so many children today and many years to come.  Every dollar is needed and appreciated. Thank you to so many parishioners for your tithe and generosity to our church and school, and for your love, prayers, and financial support.
Holy Day of Obligation—all Catholics are obligated to attend Holy Mass this Tuesday, August 15 th  at our church or at another Catholic church.  Holy Masses are 12 noon and 5pm in English, and 6:30pm in Vietnamese.  Mother Mary was taken body and soul to heaven because she loved God so much, she trusted in God, and she served God every moment of her life on earth; therefore, God crowned her as our spiritual Mother, to always pray for us sinners until we all are in heaven with her and our Lord Jesus.  Holy Mary, pray for us, Fr.
