The CACINA College of Bishops
gives thanks to Bishop Anthony Santore for his many years of service in the
role of Presiding Bishop. Bishop Santore announced his plan to retire
last month and the College of Bishops has elected Bishop Michael Theogene as
the CACINA's next Presiding Bishop. My dear sisters and brothers in Christ it is with deep humility that I amsharing with you that the College of Bishops has elected me to be the next Presiding Bishop of the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America. This is a great responsibility and I hope that I may truly be a faithful servant to our God and to our people. CACINA is a family, and this family is a team, and I cannot do it alone but together by the grace of God we will be guided by the Holy Spirit, witnessing the unconditional love of God for all people As your shepherd I intend to follow Jesus’ example of courage,openness, risk, dedication, trust, and sacrifice going forward into the future as a community, drawing others to CACINA spreading the Good News of love and inclusiveness. My dream is to continue the quality and stability we have had over the years. This stability will give us all we need to work toward growth and positive change. I ask for your prayers and guidance as we embark this challenge together on challenge together +Michael Announcing CACINA'S

Dear friends,
This year's
Alzheimer's Walk will be held on Saturday, September 24th at Centennial Park,
10000 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City 21042. The walk in the park
is an easy one on a paved path. I think it took our group about 30
minutes last year with a lot of laughing and camaraderie.
We invite you to join
us if you can between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. This is not an all-day
event. I am serving lunch at my home at 1:00 p.m. Address:
345 Fleagle Road, Glen Burnie
If you would like a
special event shirt designed by my son, David, please respond with your SIZE on
or before September 1st. After that date, I cannot guarantee a shirt will
be available for you. We would be happy to see you either way.
Blessings and thanks
to you all. If you are unable to attend, please keep the fight to end Alzheimer's
in your prayers. A cure is our sincerest hope!!
Thank you. Alice
Jo
