Many, Many Thanks… to Father Al Camp for filling in for Father Ruane while he was on vacation in Ireland this past month of August. We all wish him well for the coming year and May God always Bless, hope to see him again next year. Thank You. 

 

Welcome Home Mass… all things Considered, father coming in late Thursday night from Ireland and driving up from Jackson early Friday morning, weather permitting, WE WILL BE HAVING OUR HEALING MASS on Friday, September 2, 2011.  We will be anticipating a wonderful breakfast prepared by our Knights of Columbus. This will give us a chance to welcome father home from Ireland and have fellowship. Thank you so much in advance.

Choose Life… The life of Dr. Bernard Nathanson reminds us that change is always possible, even profound change. Science prompted him to publicly profess in 1974 that as director of “the largest abortion clinic in the Western world,” I had “in fact presided over 60,000 deaths.” He presented that reality in his film, “The Silent Scream” that captured the image of an unborn child shrinking from the surgical instruments of an abortionist, an image that Nathanson called, “the silent scream of a child threatened imminently with extinction.”

 

Christian One Liners…                ***Peace Starts With A Smile***

1. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.  2. The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.   3. When you get to your wits end, you’ll find God lives there.  4. The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
