The next few weeks will present an opportunity for every parishioner to participate in a building needs survey. We would like to hear from everyone (beginning with your youth who have been confirmed as they are now fully initiated members of the Church). The survey will be available through a computer link to Survey Monkey through midnight on Sunday, October 4. Let us know what you think, not just personally, but also for the good of our parish family, for the next five, ten, twenty years and beyond. To access the survey, click on "Parish Building Assessment Survey." You may also access the online survey by using the QR Code in the October 4 bulletin.

After much deliberation and thought, our parish FallBack Committee has decided to cancel this year's FallBack Dinner and Dance due to the unpredictability of COVID and discouragement by health authorities from gathering indoors in large groups. The good news:  The faithful financial stewardship by our parishioners has made this year's  fundraiser less urgent for us to meet our budget and pay our bills. The better news:  We are planning a family-oriented "Trunk or Treat" on the originally scheduled FallBack date, Saturday, October 31. Details about this parish event will be forthcoming.

With the return of in-person ministry in October, the youth program needs adult volunteers to help teach and facilitate small groups classes for grades 6-8 on Wednesday nights, and grades 9-12 on Sunday nights. If you are interested please contact Joshua Dutchover at jdutchover@stannsofcanyon.org.

With more and more parishioners returning to Mass, we need your help to run the live video feed at each weekend Mass. If you are interested in being trained for this ministry, please contact Joshua Dutchover. at jdutchover@stannsofcanyon.org
