Welcome Home Fr. Ruane … we all extend a warm welcome home to Father Ruane, back from his, well deserved vacation. We really missed you while you were gone. We all hope you had a Wonderful time in Ireland visiting family and friends. Welcome Home!

 

Labor Day… It sounds like a contradiction, but on Labor Day everybody usually rest from their labors. We encourage parishioners to participate in Mass, and to make it a little easier for those who would like to rest a little bit, even those who have no jet lag Mass on Monday morning will be at 9:00am. 

  

 Es Special… We will have a special breakfast next Sunday after our 9:00am Mass to show our support and

Breakfast…  our love for our young people in bible school. This is also our year to have confirmation. We would like as many of our parishioners as possible to participate in this breakfast, for a happy and enjoyable time together, as one big family.  

 

Bible School… Instructions in our Catholic Faith, is one of the more important elements of any Church Family. We are hoping and praying that all of our children, little ones through 12th grade, through the efforts of their parents, will participate in our bible school classes each Sunday morning, beginning at 10:15am for one hour.  Registration will be after Mass this Saturday & Sunday and also after Mass next Saturday & Sunday. 

 

The Catholic University of America… Today’s second collection is for the Catholic University of America. The national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, located in Washington D.C. CUA provides an academically rigorous education guided by Catholic intellectual tradition to 6,000 students every year. Every dollar we give directly supports financial aid for students from dioceses across the country, including, ours. Please be generous.  

 

The Bishop’s Cup Golf Tournament… Are you registered? Come play in the 28th Annual Bishop’s Cup Golf Tournament at 12:30pm on Wednesday, September 22nd. It’s not too late!  We encourage women to come out and play for their parish too because it is not just a men’s sport. Registration forms are in the back of the church. The net proceeds will help the Foundation and benefit the Kenneth A. and Mary M. Brown Trust that provides funding for grants. For more information, call 601-960-8479.  

 

Choose Life… Another school year begins. How many desks are empty due to the deaths of children when they were unborn babies? Who can comprehend the talents and gifts lost due to more than 52 million abortions since 1973? 

 

“Why Catholic?”… More detailed information in next weeks bulletin.
