End of Year Report… We have furnished to the best of our ability an end of the year financial report. If we have missed anybody we are sorry and if you reminded us we will make it good.    

 

World Marriage Day… is Sunday, February 12, 2012. Couples celebrating their 25^th, 50^th, or 60^th wedding anniversary in 2011, please call the Rectory at 662-226-2490, so that you can be included in a special Mass and celebration with the Bishop at St. Peter’s Cathedral on World Marriage Day. 

 

Sick or In The Hospital … Just a friendly reminder because of the Hospital confidentiality requirement, if anybody you know from our church family please let us know so we can be sure to visit them.     

 

Choose Life… a new report in a prestigious medical journal (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology) confirms what previous studies have shown: abortion is associated with an increased risk of premature birth in subsequent pregnancies. Although the link is well-established, women are not normally informed of the risk when they are counseled at abortion centers.  (Life News)   

 

Thank You… for picking up your church envelopes and if there should be any church family who did not receive envelopes please let Father Ruane or Karla know and we would be happy to help.
