PARISH MISSION! Encounter the Risen Christ Presented by Fr. Cedric Pisegna, C.P. April 14-16, 2008 10am and 7pm each day (morning and evening sessions are different) A Parish mission is a retreat or “revival” for the parish community. During this time the universal message of the Gospel and of the Church is preached. It is a time of God’s special grace. Through prayer, music, and preaching God’s word, the missionary tries to create an atmosphere through which peoples’ hearts will be moved. The centerpiece of the mission is the Lord Jesus Christ and his Paschal Mystery. Jesus died so that we could be forgiven; he rose so that we could know new life; he will come again in Glory to raise us up and take us home to Heaven. New life is the goal and purpose of the mission; the refreshing new life that God offers us in the Holy Spirit. Fr. Cedric will preach at all the Masses on April 12 and 13. Daily Themes Monday: Faith in the storm Tuesday: God's Mercy and Our Surrender Wednesday: Mass of the Holy Spirit

BUSINESS OWNERS!

If you are a parishioner who owns a business, please consider advertising your company on the back cover of our bulletin. Since April, 2004, we have been printing the bulletin in-house, and the income derived from the sale of advertising space helps defray the cost of paper, copier toner and supplies as well as the time used to create the bulletin. We began in-house publishing in order to make the bulletin as timely as possible. Previously, our bulletins had to be transmitted to St. Louis by mid-week, which made it impossible to insert late-breaking items of interest to the parish. Now, with a later deadline, we can make the bulletin more relevant to the people of our parish. Our ad prices are reasonable, and we can create almost any type of ad for your business. For more details on our bulletin ads, please contact either the parish office or Dave Lexa at 364-2954. All advertising funds now stay in our parish.

Please patronize our bulletin advertisers.
