The CFM Friday Commitment - We try our best to have large group events that appeal to all, but these events are optional.  It is the adult group meetings that are truly the centerpiece of our program and they are most successful when all group members attend. The group meetings are usually only 1, rarely 2 Fridays each month.  While we realize that schedules can conflict, remember that as you join you are making a commitment to your group to attend these meetings.  Please make the Friday night meetings a priority. Thanks.

 

Spread the Word - For many years CFM has served to welcome families to the parish and make SLM a true community.  During the next week, please give the enclosed brochure "Do You Think Families Are Important?" to at least one person or family you know who would benefit from CFM.

 

God Bless You and Your Family!

 

Dan & Noreen Thomas and Greg & Brenda Argano
