Special Effort… During this Easter Season, which last 50 days, we ask you to make a special effort to attend daily Mass and to give praise to God! {THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SAY ALLELUIA!}

 

Graduation … We will have a breakfast after Mass on Sunday May 6, 2012, to honor our high school graduates and they are; Albert Salinas, Jeremy Mumme, Reid Walker, Chace Holland, Paul Liberto Adam Palazzolo and  Cassie Bennett. Please, please, if we have omitted anybody we are sorry, and please give Donna Mumme 662-897-2201or Fr. Ruane 226-2490 a call.

“First Communion”   We Rejoice with our children who will receive the Lord for the first time in Holy Communion this Mother’s Day [what a nice gift to their mother’s] we will also honor, all of the mother’s with a special breakfast after Mass this Mother’s Day. The children making their First Communion are: Abigail Griffin, Alexxis Cook, Caydence Trost and Yesenia Gary.     

 

Sharing Your Blessings … What we have has been entrusted to us by God. It is not ours. We only have it for a short period by time. God wants a return on our talents, our abilities, our treasures. Let your support for the annual Catholic Service Appeal, “Sharing Your Blessings.” Be a thought-out, conscientious, responsible decision. Let it be a response in faith. “… God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8). Please go online to www.jacksondiocese.org to learn more about the Catholic Service Appeal or to make an on line donation. 

 

Bible School … We are asking all of our children in bible school, little ones through 12^th grade to be with us this Sunday for bible school, beginning at 10:15am.  

 

RIP … Please remember in prayer the happy repose of the soul of Russell Cooper, husband of Kathleen Cooper one of our good parishioners, whom the Lord called home this week, may he rest in peace.
