EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

On Friday, July 6^th, we will have our First Friday Eucharistic Holy Hour from 8-9 am. On Wednesday, July 11^th, we will have Eucharistic Adoration in the Church from 6-7pm. All are invited to stop in and spend some time in quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

 MISSION APPEAL

Next weekend, Fr. Bill Roland, SM, of the Marist Missions will conduct our summer Mission Appeal. Since its official recognition by the Church in 1836, the Marist Fathers and Brother have committed themselves to the missions of the southwest Pacific. Since that time, they have expanded into areas of Africa, Asia and South America. Today there are nearly 230 priests and brothers working in “bush stations,” teaching, ministering in training institutions, providing direct service to the poor, oppressed and marginalized, and contributing to the development of people for a better society and a strong local church. Contributions to this Mission Appeal will help the Marists in their mission to witness to the Gospel, service to the needy and helping the local Church build a strong base for its promising future. Thank you for whatever you can do to help them in their life-long commitment and work. Special envelopes for this appeal are on the tables at the entrances to the Church.

THE FEST

The best gift you can give is your time. This Father’s Day weekend, make sure to invite Dad (and the rest of the family) to spend time with you at the FEST on Sunday, August 5^th. The perfect family day and free event is full of great music, engaging displays, and fun activities. Of course, the highlight of the whole day is the outdoor Mass, beginning at 8:00pm with Bishop Perez. You and your dad are not going to want to miss any of this, so make sure to head out to the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe for a day full of faith, family and friends.
