A Special Thank You…to Father Mario, who filled in for Fr. Camp this weekend, for giving us a beautiful Mass for The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and staying with us through the weekend to say our Masses.  Fr. Al Camp was in Cleveland Ohio this weekend attending a funeral and will be with us next weekend.

 

FATHER CAMP – As you know it is getting more difficult to get a priest supply. So I am most grateful that Fr. Camp is willing to take care of us during these next few weeks. MR

IF…For any reason you may need a priest for an emergency while I am on vacation please call Fr. Al Camp at 601-951-3063 or call Fr. Sam Messina at 662-563-2273.

 

VISITING WITH FAMILY - Fr. Ruane is with family and friends in Ireland. He asks for remembrance in your prayers while he is away and promises to remember you in his daily Masses. IFIf for any reason you might want to call Father while he is on vacation you can get his number in Ireland from Karla at the Rectory.

R.                      The R.C.I.A. is the usual way by which people come into full

  C.                    communion with the Catholic Church. If you or anybody you

     I.                   know is interested in becoming a member of the Catholic Church,

      A.                   Please call the Rectory at: 226-2490.

 

Why Catholic?...This fall, all parishioners will be participating in a program designed to strengthen our relationship with Jesus Christ as well as give us a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith. Why Catholic? promises to be wonderful opportunity for our Church Family to develop a stronger relationship with God, a greater love for their faith, and a greater love for one another.

 

COMMUNION SERVICE – Since we will not have a priest for daily Mass while Fr. Ruane is on vacation we will have a communion service each day at 8:00am.

 

TEACHERS MEETING – Father would like to meet with all our teachers on Wed. Sept. 17th at 6:00pm.

 

CHOOSE LIFE – Scripture makes clear the challenge before us in deciding our role in the right to life debate. Jesus says, “Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.” (Matthew 25:46) If we do nothing for the protection of the unborn, surely the least among us, then we do nothing for Jesus.” (Culture of Life Family Services Newsletter, 11/07)
