Stewardship

Have you noticed the Meditation Garden being created? The
space alongside our building was formally an overgrown
wasted space that needed to be transformed. Due the efforts
of several very dedicated parishioners this area was cleared
of the weeds, and flowers where planted. This spring their
efforts have been on display and we all are appreciative of
their work. There is always more flowers to plant, earth to be
nurtured.
There is more work to be done, and if you feel a need to
nurtore your green thumb- we have a place for you!
Thank you to all who volunteered their time and work to
make SCB a more inviting community. It is our Church.

Pastoral Institute

Our Diocese sponsors a three year training program designed to equip members of the Parish to develop skills to assist Fr Ed in continuing to grow and develop the parish. In September 2010, the Brooklyn component of the training program will be conducted at Saint Francis College on
Thursday evenings from 7: 15 to 9: 15 pm (beginning September 16). This interactive training program uses an adult model learning approach. It is not like “going to college”, with term papers and final exams!
We need a few good men and women to become part of this program and dedicate their talents to continue helping our Parish grow. If you would be interested in being a part of this dynamic program please see Fr Ed! check Holy Spirit Institute
