Several
appeals have been made to me encouraging regular, grown parishioners, if possible, to not

use it.

connect with others who have similar interests and questions. CONTACT:
Father Kent Bowlds, vocation director, 601-944-9844, frkent@bellsouth.net.
Catholic
Radio - I am pleased to announce that The
Catholic Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio is on the air! Our first official
broadcast was Mass for the first Sunday of Advent from Saint Patrick's Cathedral, and our
regular programming kicked off the next day, Monday, December 4. We're up
and running, and I hope that anyone with a Sirius radio will tune to Channel 159 to give
us a listen. Here's a link to our Catholic Channel webpage. (From

BIBLE SCHOOL
Now that
Bible School has resumed, we again encourage all of our children to participate in these
classes. We are always disappointed when some
of our children are absent for varying reasons.
