CHOOSE LIFE…“The best way to respond to those who face pregnancy in difficult circumstances is to demonstrate our love and support for the mothers and children who are at the center of such challenges. The pro-life movement has done this for decades by participating in and supporting thousands of pregnancy care centers that help woman and children to meet these challenges.” (Senator John McCain, remarks to 2008 National Rights to Life Convention)

R.C.I.A. You are invited to join us this Tuesday evening after the 6:00pm Mass to continue our discussion of our Catholic Faith. Discussion this week: The Gift Of Happiness.

THE RENEW “WHY CATHOLIC?” PROGRAM We strongly encourage all our participants to be faithful by meeting with their group and to try to be somewhat familiar with the material prior to the meeting. As you know by now it is very important for each group to have a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church at their meeting.

THE SEVENTH HISPANIC ENCUENTRO There will be a gathering of the Hispanic community (and those who speak Spanish) from around the diocese on Saturday, November 8^th, 8:30-5:30 at the Leflore County Civic Center, Greenwood MS. Our theme is “Together on a Journey of Hope.” We ask the non-Hispanic community to share this day with us through your prayers and fasting that God may bless the Hispanic community, as well as, our entire Catholic diocese that we all may be one.
