    Fort        We are emphasizing the importance of these two very important weeks set aside by the Catholic

Night For   Church June the 21^st through July 4^th when catholic’s can pray, read and reflect on the importance

 Freedom    of religious freedom.  We urge all of our people to pray for the satisfactory solution of this cause

 

                                       Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty__       ______________

O God our creator, through the power and working of           Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and

 your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the         united voice to all your sons and daughters

 midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving              gathered in your Church in this decisive hour in

 truth of the Gospel to every corner of society. We ask             the history of our nation, so that, with every trial you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious           withstood and danger overcome-for the sake of our

 liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to readily       children, our grandchildren, and all who come

rights of your Church and the freedom of conscience of         justice for all”

all people of faith.                                                                      We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN

 

Sincere Gratitude…   Sincere gratitude to the parents and children who participated in our Mini Summer Bible School of Religion, I was very impressed at the goodness of our children but a little disappointed at their lack of knowledge of their Catholic Faith. I wish all of our children could be there and beg our parents to work with them at home.  

 

Congratulations…  Congratulations and God’s Blessings on Michael Marascalco now Father Michael Marascalco who was ordained as a priest this weekend for the diocese of Biloxi, may God Bless his family and friends from the Jackson area and several cousins from the Grenada area.

Choose Life…  What have we done to our children by legalizing abortion and championing it? The daily abortion stories, polls, editorials, and stories showing how the “abortion rights” movement is faring—all this has drummed into our children’s heads the idea that human life is not special, is not sanctified, is not a life formed by God but a fertilized ovum that makes demands and can be removed. (Peggy Noonan, “Abortion’s Children,”  New York Times, 1/22/98)

 

Daily Mass …  Now that school is out and there is a little more leisure time, there is no better up bringing for our children then to take them to Mass from time to time and explain its benefits.

Please… If you should happen to be moving out of our parish, please, let us know and if you are new in our parish we would be so grateful if you would register so we can keep our records straight. Thank You
