DIOCESAN NEWS

The Jackson Diocese Cursillo Weekends are coming soon.  The Men’s Weekend is scheduled for April 27 through April 30, 2006 and the Women’s Weekend is scheduled for May 4 through May 7, 2006.  The weekend starts Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and concludes Sunday at about 5:30 p.m.  Candidates are still being accepted.  The Sponsor’s Sheet and Candidate Application are available on the Jackson Diocese website at www.jacksondiocese.org/resources.html#cursillo.

 

Our Catholic Charities and Mission Parishes – All members of our parish have received Bishop Latino’s letter asking for generous support in stewardship of our diocese through the Catholic Service Appeal.   Deepening, widespread social ills, coupled with ministry to evacuees and Catholic immigrants, have expanded the need for more services from our already stressed Catholic Charities.  In addition, our Catholic Charities will need our increased CSA stewardship for its new outreach work in northeast Mississippi.  We cannot overlook the fact that our mission parishes would be ill-equipped to handle routine expenses, and their ministry in our Hispanic communities, without CSA funds.  Please respond with a generous heart to Bishop Latino’s request for support of our CSA on May 6,7.

 

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
