“1” Week Early Since I will not be here for the first Friday in August we will have our Mass of Healing this Friday, July 30th at 10:00am. So please join us to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and conversation.  

 

Visiting With Family Fr. Ruane leaves next Sunday afternoon to visit with family and friends in Ireland. He asks for remembrance in your prayers while he is away and promises to remember you in his daily Masses. IFIf for any reason you might want to call Father while he is on vacation you can get his number in Ireland from Karla at the Rectory.

 

During August While Father Ruane is away unfortunately we will not be able to have daily Mass, the weekday services during the month of August will be a Communion service. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please avail of the opportunity to follow the Scripture for these days at church and to receive the Lord in Holy Communion.

Choose Life “In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court looked at the slave, Dred Scott, and came up with the wrong decision, declaring the slave as “property” and not a “citizen”… The slaves life was still protected. In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court got it wrong again and handed down decisions on abortion which declared “open season” on unborn children throughout the full nine months of pregnancy…. Most people have not noticed that the population descended from U.S. African slaves, comprising around 12% of the population, make up about 35% of the abortion population. [Since1973, more than 14 million unborn black children have died from abortion.] (Dr. Mildred Jefferson, M.D.)
