HOLY NAME SOCIETY
During May, our Holy
Name Society is recruiting new members to expand their
organization. Membership in the Holy Name Society is open to
all parishioners who wish to either be active or inactive
members. The Holy Name Society is worldwide Catholic
organization that promotes the Holy Name of Jesus, fosters
prayer, good citizenship, and assists in the mission of the
Parish.
The
Society in our parish is four years old and in that time has
sponsored our monthly Eucharistic Devotion, participates
together at the Holy Name Mass on the second
Saturday of each month at
5:30, it purchased a beer tap for
use at parish activities, and has a cook-out for the parish
each August. They also participate in Holy Name activities
within our region and on a diocesan level. Individual
members of the Society participate in our fund raising
activities, serve as Church ushers, and publish our monthly
“Ministry of Praise” newsletter for our shut-ins. Their
primary source of funds is their monthly split raffle. They
meet monthly on the last Wednesday at
7:00pm. Annual dues at just $5. A membership envelope
is enclosed in the current envelope pack.
ORDINATION

Saturday, June 13, 2015, Deacon Lukas Laniauskas will be
