To:
Our Lady of Sorrows Parish Family, Chandler, OK
St. Louis Parish Family, Stroud, OK
Carol and I wanted to thank all of you for all that you have
gifted us during the Christmas season, as well as my birthday.
Your generosity in greetings, gifts and prayers graced us with a
sense of thanksgiving and humility.
I also wanted to make you aware that Archbishop Coakley
has granted me an extended leave of absence from my assignment
at both parishes.
I am hopeful that all of you will understand and not feel
any sadness or confusion about this matter. It is a time that is
needed for healing of mind, body and spirit. A time of seeking
direction and clarity of the role of “Deacon” that I am bound to
God to live out.
During this absence know that God is with all of us and
draws us throughout our lives ever closer to Him.
Again, we thank you all.
Rusty & Carol
Thank you for all the prayers, calls, food,
cards & acts of kindness for our family before
& after the loss of our beloved brother, son &
uncle, Robert Davis. You have eased our pain
and lifted our spirits. A special thank you to
my Renew Group for the Funeral Dinner.
Love, Marilyn Moore, Jody & Stephen Davis
& Family

February 28, 2015 - The Oklahoma Fellowship of Catholic Men
will be hosting the 19th Annual Catholic Men’s Conference, “In the
Father’s Footsteps” on Saturday, February 28, 2015 at the
Embassy Suites Conference Center in North Norman, Oklahoma.
For years, men have been coming to this day of learning, reflecting
and fellowship…walking away with encouragement and
enlightenment that we are able to be men of faith in our families,
with our friends, and in our work locations. We learn through the
talks how we can be better husbands, dads, step-dads, sons and
grandfathers. The conference entwines Sacraments and
sacramental traditions into the day’s events with opportunities for
Reconciliation administered by the priests of the Archdiocese and
the opportunity to celebrate the Eucharist with our very own
Archbishop Coakley at the close of the conference.
Our theme for this year’s conference, “Forged by Grace,”
continues our venue of building and sustaining solid relationships
in our daily lives. We have 4 great main session speakers that will
provide us with the right tools to persevere and thrive in our faith
journey. The cost for all the day’s activities (including lunch,
snacks, beverages and admission to all presentations) is $55 prior
to February 2nd and $65 from February 3rd through on-site
registration. High School students can register anytime for $29.
College Students can register anytime at $39. More info on our
speakers and agenda can be found in the brochures, or online at
www.catholicmen.net, or call Allen Smith at 405-249-7705.

Repent – Repent and believe the good
news! Come, follow me! Andrew, first
to respond, brought along his brother
Simon whom Jesus named Cephas,
which means Peter, which means rock.
Then came the fisher brothers, James &
John. These four are the great witnesses
to Jesus’ public work. We ourselves
hear the same call: “Come, follow me”
into new life. God raises us up, too, if
we follow Jesus. Time is short. The
world we know is passing away. Are we ready to give witness?
