Celebrating 121 years of Faith!
You are invited to a series of talks given by Mr. William D. Jones at Sacred Heart of Jesus School of Religion on three consecutive Wednesdays, September 27, October 4 and October 11, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. His topic will be: “Confession of an Ordained Lutheran Pastor or Why I Believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.” This series is free and open to the public. Mr. Jones is a former Lutheran pastor who was received into the Catholic Church in 2021. He will speak about his conversion experience and aspects of the Faith that “cradle Catholics” may take for granted.
The Church celebrates the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Fr. Petro will administer a special blessing to all pets on Sunday, Oct. 1, at 9:30 a.m. in the picnic grove. Parishioners and friends of our parish are invited to bring their animals to the church to pray for the intercession of the saint who loved nature and all of God’s creatures. Members of our Holy Name Society will host a light outdoor social following the blessing. To provide a safe environment for all who attend this event, please be sure that all pets are properly restrained.
“Cemetery Sunday” devotions will take place this year on Sun., Oct. 29, beginning at 1pm in our church. Details can be found in the church bulletin.
