WHY CATHOLIC – Last week I enclosed a letter in our Sunday bulletin from our Bishop Latino on,

 Why Catholic, a journey through the teachings of our Catholic Faith.

It especially…Fosters the goals of Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us.

…Encourages adult learning in a prayerful small community setting. 

…Provides leadership workshops with strong catechetical content.

…Offers a vehicle for whole parish catechesis.

P.S. – We will keep you updated as we prepare, as to when and how this program will be implemented in our parish.  I feel that this is a wonderful opportunity for evangelization for our parish and I give it my whole hearted support.

 

MASS SERVERS – We are hoping to meet with our Mass Servers new and those who have been Serving next Sunday November 11th immediately after Bible School. We thought this will be easier since the children are already here and I will do my best to notify the children about this upcoming meeting during bible school this morning…….David Upchurch and Michael Liberto have agreed to work with these children. I am asking the parents for their kind cooperation.

 

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY – If any of our couples have been married for 25, 50, or 60 years, you might want to fill in the register form (in the back of the Church) and you will be invited to a special anniversary Mass offered by the Bishop and you will receive a personal invitation.

 

Words Of Wisdom I love the person that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.  (Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British-American Writer)
