6. Fr. Dan’s Remarks- He attended a Deanery meeting and discussed the need for a Spanish mass on Sunday morning. He is proposing having a mass at 8am in the gym, where the kids could then go to formation class 9:30, which is a convenience. This could be for a trial basis of 3 months, provided he has support from other priests twice a month. Before moving forward he is waiting to hear if the adult Spanish formation class says they are interested in attending the Sun morning mass.
7. Closing prayer- Karen (song)
