WelcomeWe welcome Father Al Camp who will take care of these weekends that Father Ruane is on vacation. It is almost impossible to find a substitute priest because of the scarcity of priest. So we are most thankful Father Camp is willing to help us out. Please treat him with kindness and hospitality. 

If For any reason you may need a priest for an emergency while Father is 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.

Visiting With Family Fr. Ruane left last 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 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.

Inspirational Quote:

1. “The teacher asks the pupils to tell the meaning of loving-kindness. A little boy jumped up and said, “Well, if I was hungry and someone gave me a piece of bread that would be kindness. But if they put a little jam on it, that would be loving-kindness.”  Anonymous

2. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.   (Mother Teresa)

 

Choose Life “Abortion is the most lucrative part of Planned Parenthood’s operations. They really want to increase the number of abortions so they can increase their income.”  Abby Johnston, former Planned Parenthood clinic director, NRL News, January, 2010
