Sincere Gratitude … I am most grateful to all of the parishioners who participated in the brunch for Fr. Michael Marascalco and especially to the Knights of Columbus who at a very short notice prepared the food. It was mention by many that there was a grand spirit of cooperation among our church family. Those of you who skipped out and went home missed a real treat. 

 

Mass Servers…  We are running a little low on Mass Servers at the moment because those who were very faithful have moved and this time of the year especially some are out of town on the weekends. It is a wonderful privilege to serve Mass and wonderful training for our young people. I would be most grateful if you would give your name to Father Ruane or call the Rectory and we will organize this group.

 

Diocese Of Jackson 175^th Anniversary … in celebration of the diocese’s 175^th Anniversary a special t-shirt with the 175^th diocesan logo and the diocesan coat of arms has been designed and can be ordered by going to the diocesan web page www.jacksondiocese.org or by calling the Dept of Evangelization at 601-960-8474. The cast is $15.00 each.

 

Choose Life…  “In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court looked at the slave, Dred Scott, and came up with the wrong decision, declaring the slave as “property” and not a “citizen”… The slaves life was still protected. In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court got it wrong again and handed down decisions on abortion which declared “open season” on unborn children throughout the full nine months of pregnancy…. Most people have not noticed that the population descended from U.S. African slaves, comprising around 12% of the population, make up about 35% of the abortion population. [Since1973, more than 14 million unborn black children have died from abortion.]

 (Dr. Mildred Jefferson, M.D.)
