Thank You … Sincere gratitude to our people who gave the gift of blood, to save the lives of others, this past Sunday. I feel that our Blood Drive was a grand success and may God Bless you all.

 

Congratulations… We congratulate Nick and Martha Liberto whose infant child, Helen Hart, will be reborn in the waters of baptism during the 6:00pm Mass this weekend. May God Bless this family, on this special occasion.     

 

RIP… Please remember in your prayers the happy repose of the soul of Lucille Boudreax, mother of Jerome, whom the Lord called home this week, may she rest in peace. 

 

R.C.I.A… The RCIA will meet this Tuesday January 25, 2011. We encourage those who have been participating, and anybody else who might be interested, to please join us each Tuesday evening after the 6:00pm Mass. 

 

World Marriage Day… is Sunday, February 12, 2011.

Choose Life… As we mark the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the following quote aptly summarizes the feelings of those of us who fight for life: “I am boggled at how in one breath you can call killing a baby ‘murder’ and in the next breath you can justify this murder because you don’t want to tell others what to do.  I cannot fathom how someone can say that life is precious and should be protected, then turn around and support ‘the choice’ to destroy that very life.”  (Brian Kemper of Stand True Ministries in The Southern Cross, 2/10)
