CATHOLIC PRESS MONTH…February is the Month the “Mississippi Catholic” is due. Bishop Latino asks us to send a copy of the Mississippi Catholic to every family in our parish, if you have already done so…sincere gratitude…if not please help us by remitting $20.00 for the parish subscription.

   

Right to Life Campaign…Bishop Latino is asking all parishes in the Diocese of Jackson to participate in a post card writing campaign against the Freedom of Choice Act. As it is written now the Freedom Of Choice Act will take away most of the restrictions already in place for abortions and will jeopardize the mission of Catholic Health Institutions. Cards for this purpose are attached to your bulletin.    

 

“WHY CATHOLIC?”…The emphasis on this upcoming session of  “Why Catholic?” is on Scripture and Tradition. There is still time to participate in this session and I feel that you will find it very enjoyable and enriching.       

 

THE R.C.I.A. will meet this Tuesday February 10th immediately after the 6:00pm Mass.

The Topic will be: A Short Review of The Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Holy Orders.

 

A SPECIAL GIFT…We have as part of our Catholic Faith made available to us almost every day the beautiful gift of the Eucharist. [Mass] When we have the privilege of sharing the scripture readings and dining with the Lord at His table when we receive His Body and Blood, wouldn’t it be wonderful if more of our people would share in this gift.

 

CHOOSE LIFE…Protection of innocent human life is not an imposition of personal conviction but a demand of justice. “Each human being is known by God and loved by him. Each is willed by God, and each is God’s image…whoever violates a human being violates God’s property.” (Pope Benedict XVI)
