TWE�TY-SECO�D SU�DAY I� ORDI�ARY TIME AUGUST 31, 2014

Dear Parishioners,

I have the sad duty to report that our parish organist, John Norigian, has accepted a

position in another parish which is more in line with his personal goals for the

future. John has been with St. Catherine’s Parish Family for several years now.

From what I have observed he has added a great deal to the musical praise of the

parish. I have heard from several people that John has been very easy to work with

and has supported the parish choir. John will be missed but we pray for him and

wish him well in his new position. Best wishes and prayers also go to his sister,

Kate, who will no longer be able to be with us as well.

"What profit would there be for one to

gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

Or what can one give in exchange for his

life? For the Son of Man will come with his

angels in his Father's glory, and then he

will repay all according to his conduct."
