WE INVITE YOUR PARTICIPATION
IN LIGHTING UP THE CHURCH
On
several occasions, it has been brought to our attention that
our Church is poorly lit. This is not something new, as it
has been a problem since the Church was built. However,
today’s new lighting technology can remedy this situation.
Father Bacevice and the Pastoral Council would like to
form a committee of interested parishioners to look at
various options, decide on what is best for our Church
building, raise the necessary funds, and arrange to have the
new lighting installed. Those interested are asked to
contact either Fr. Bacevice or Ted Kowalski.
PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE
OF YOUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS
On
Sunday we have three Masses here at
8:00,
10:00 and 12:00. We once again remind those who are spending
time after the
10:00 Mass
and will still be here at
11:45,
to please park in the Marcella Road parking
lot so those arriving for 12:00 Mass have a place to
park.
Also, we remind everyone who uses our parking lots to
not block the entrances to the parking lots, or buildings,
and not to park on the sidewalks. Beginning this weekend,
those who do, will be ticketed and towed
HOME MISSIONS
There are many places right here in the United States
and in its overseas dependencies where the Church is poor,
the communities are scattered, and priests are few. Money
given to the Catholic Home Missions Appeal helps Catholic
communities across America survive and thrive by
underwriting evangelization, religious education, education
for future priests, training for lay ministers, and poor
parishes that would have to close their doors without
outside help.
The Catholic Home Missions Appeal helps strengthen the
Catholic Church at home. More than 92 cents of every dollar
contributes goes directly to the missions. We will be
accepting donations for this appeal next weekend. Please
use the envelopes provided.
