Beginning the week of

Your group leader will call to welcome you
to confirm the time and place.

In a series of three talks, Fr. Dan Merz will
explain why a new translation of the Mass
has been done and will go into some depth
exploring the changes affecting the people‟s
part of the Mass. The day begins with breakfast and includes lunch with afternoon options of Safe Environment Training and Liturgical Musicians Workshop. For more information call Rosie Francka at 866-0841.

Each week from 50-60 welcome envelopes
are discarded because they were used for
drawing by children during Mass. At .05
each, that amounts to about $150 a year that
could be a saving if parents could provide
something else for this activity.

Thanks for caring! Thanks for sharing!
The first son in today’s Gospel said he would do
his father’s bidding, but did not. The second son
balked at first, but then repented and did as he
was asked. What service is God calling me to
do? Which son am I more like?
