Easter Greetings… I take this opportunity
to wish all of our people a happy and Christ filled Easter, and Easter season. May the risen Christ give us the joy and peace that
we can receive only through Him.
Let us continue to remember those less well off than we are, the sick, the hurting,
and the suffering. God’s blessing to all!
– MR.
Welcome & … It is with great joy we
welcome, Luther Owens, Blair Owens, Judy Bloodworth, Stanley
Congratulations Bloodworth, and Shirley Cupsid into full communion with the Catholic faith on Holy Saturday
night.
Pave the Way – CSA … The annual Catholic Service
Appeal Weekend will be April 30 – May 1. Bishop
Latino is asking every Catholic family to participate. As a Catholic community, we are
called to respond to God’s grace in our lives. The Catholic Service Appeal is an
opportunity to respond to His grace by sharing our treasure to help our neighbors
throughout our diocese. Please go online to www.jacksondiocese.org to learn more or to make
an on line donation.
A Happy for the Children
… We have planned an extra
Happy for our children. We began this a couple of years ago and it seemed to be tremendously
popular. In place of an Easter Egg Hunt we will be inviting all of our children
and their parents to gather in front of the Church on Easter morning after Mass. Among our
surprises will be a show of love for our children and their Bible School Teachers.
Priests Retreat … Father Ruane will be
participating in the annual diocesan clergy retreat with Bishop Latino and a majority of
the other priests from our diocese. The
retreat will be at St. Mary of the Pines in Chattewa, MS
beginning on Monday and ending mid-morning on Friday. If you should need Father Ruane while he is on retreat just call the rectory and Karla will
get in touch with him.
Sincere Gratitude … To all who helped make our Holy Week services
meaningful and sacred as Lectors, Eucharist ministers, Mass Servers and those who helped
decorate and fix up our Church for the sacred ceremony of Holy Week.
Very Important … Vigil Mass on the 30th
will be at 6:30pm please be patient and make note of this change, Fr. Ruane
is involved in a wedding.
Choose Life … As we celebrate
Christ’s victory over death, let us pledge ourselves more fervently to battle the
Culture of Death that threatens the very moral foundations of our society. Christ came
that we might have life and have it more abundantly, not so that some might take away the
gift of life from defenseless others.
