Photographers will be available to take pic-tures and can assist in uploading to the site for those not having computer access. Also, there were requests to change the time of the Saturday Mass so that those with vision difficulty do not need to drive in the dark dur-ing the winter. To best decide on the best time, there will be a vote by those attending the 5:00pm Mass on September 29th. About half the local parishes have a 4:00pm and the other half a 5:00pm Mass. The three options to be voted on will be 5:00pm; 4:30pm, or 4:00pm
