The Healing Mass… Mass this coming Friday, at 10:00am, November 2^nd is the first Friday of the month. We are encouraging as many people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health of mind, soul and body. Hopefully our Knights of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and conversation. 

                                                                                                                                

November 1^st “All Saints Day” … This is a “Holy Day of Obligation” and we have two masses, one for the “Vigil” at 6:15pm on Wednesday evening and Thursday, the Holy Day, at 8:00am. We hope that everybody will make a genuine effort to come to mass for “The Communion of Saints.” 

 

All Souls… Traditionally we remember the souls of our dear departed ones during the month of November. Masses will be celebrated, unless otherwise requested, during the month for the souls of our dear departed ones. Please place the names of those you wish remembered on the Altar beginning on All Souls Day, November 2^nd.   

 

Knights of Columbus… A Memorial Mass will be celebrated for the deceased Knights of Columbus on November the 15^th at 6:00pm. This mass is to be followed by a baked chicken supper. And…..      

Special Thanks to, who helped in any way with the Installation ceremony. Jim Hertel and Glenn Smith deserve most of the credit for cooking and with thanks to all who helped with the set-up and clean-up.    

 

Happy Anniversary… We rejoice with Lee and Karen Munstenteiger on this very special occasion, fifty years of wedded bliss! We will have a special blessing for them and their marriage at the evening mass this Saturday, October the 27^th followed by a reception at the Family Life Center. May God Bless you and give you many more happy years.        

 

Evening Mass … We will start back our evening Mass and RCIA on Tuesday November the 6^th Mass at 6:00pm followed by the RCIA.  

 

Church - Beacon of Faith… A faith formation for the Year of Faith will be given at St. Jude Church in Pearl, Ms. on November 17^th at 1:30 through 5:00pm. The keynote speaker will be Dr. John Switzer, Professor of Theology, from Spring Hill College, Mobile Al. If planning to attend please call 601-960-8470 by November 9^th or fabvienen.taylor@jacksondiocese.org.

 

Family Life Center… As a result of our discussion at out pastoral council meeting this past Thursday evening, September the 20^th we decided the following:

1. No charge to members of our church family – ONLY!

2. For all others even friends of parish family members, there will be a reasonable charge of $200.00.

3. We decided to give a list of requirements to the person responsible for securing the building and these will be given to that person before hand.

4. The rental fee should be paid before the building is used.

5. We have a beautiful Family Life Center and we are trying to keep it that way.

 

Choose Life…  “Young people, in particular, are now casting a critical eye on the culture of abortion, maybe asking themselves if they were once considered a choice rather than a person.” (Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport, CT, 1/21/2012)
