Sophia and Giuliana took Flat Francis on their family vacation to the Smoky Mountains. They stayed in a log cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN, visited “The Island,” rode the Ferris Wheel, and did some shopping.
They also went to the Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN; traveled up the Smoky Mountains, had a picnic lunch, and waded in the West Prong Little Pigeon River. They continued up the mountains even further to the Appalachian Trail at the Tennessee/North Carolina border, spent an entire day at Dollywood, took the SkyPark ski lift up the mountain on another day, and walked across a 680-foot-long cable bridge that had a glass bottom in the middle. Flat Francis even saw 3 black bears up close! They ended the trip with mini golf and an evening at Dolly’s Stampede. Lots of Dolly Parton was sung on this trip…particularly Jolene!

Beginning Sunday, August 25, at 9:00 Mass, children ages 3 – 7 will be invited to come forward when the Mass readings are about to begin. After a blessing from the priest, two adult leaders will lead the children to a classroom in the school for a lesson specially geared toward their age level. This allows the children an opportunity to wiggle around and learn while their parents are able to fully devote their attention to the Word of God. Children will be led back to church and reunited with their parents after the homily. We have assembled a team of volunteers who have all been approved by Fr. Hamilton and fully certified in Protecting God’s Children. Please encourage your children to take advantage of this special program, that will be offered every Sunday during 9:00 Mass.
Contact Linda Pudlowski if you have any questions, 314-799-9744 or BLPud@aol.com

Flat Francis went to Kauai, Hawaii last week!
After his layover in Phoenix, he had a great view from the airplane, an ocean view in Kauai where he could watch the chickens and roosters roaming the island. He took a boat tour of the Na Pali coast and a day trip to Oahu where he visited the USS Arizona and hiked Diamond Head. He loved a kayaking trip upriver and hiked through the rainforest to see Secret Falls!
