Bon VoyageWe all wish Fr. Ruane Bon Voyage on his trip to Ireland for a well deserved, rest and visit with his family and friends. We hope that your vacation will be a happy and pleasant one.

 

Visiting With Family Fr. Ruane leaves this 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. IF If 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.

 

Father CampAs you know it is getting more difficult to get a priest supply. So I am most grateful that Fr. Camp is willing to take care of us during these next few weeks. MR

IF… For any reason you may need a priest for an emergency while I am on vacation please call Fr. Al Camp at 601-951-3063, Fr. Sam Messina at 662-563-2273 or call Fr. Gregory Plata at 662-453-0623.

 

Rite Of Christian Initiation Of AdultsThe R.C.I.A. will resume in the fall. If you know of anyone interested in the R.C.I.A., or for more information, please call the Rectory at 662-226-2490. This is primarily for people who are interested in the Catholic Faith. They will find these gatherings very enjoyable and interesting and the decision to embrace the Catholic Faith is always made by the person participating.

The teachers that have accepted are as follows… K-1- Vacant, 2 - Irene Stark, 3-4 -Tara Trost, 5-6 Christy Strong, 7-8 Karla Houston, 9-10 – Frankie Fortier, 11-12 [Confirmation] Lynn Bennett.  Thanks          

 

Choose Life Yet another example of the ongoing flood of success stories with non-embryonic stem cells is that of three year old Alyssa Dupuis who suffered brain damage at birth that caused cerebral palsy. Her parents decided to bank her umbilical cord blood which was recently given to Alyssa via stem cell transfusion. Immediate positive results were seen and at last report this little girl, according to her mother, is “about 85% cured from cerebral palsy.”  (NRL News, Feb-March, 2010)
