PARISH NEWS JOINING OUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY: THE RCIA If you are reading this right now, and you are not a member of our Roman Catholic Church, then we’d like to invite you: Come and see. That was Jesus’ response to Andrew’s question as to where Jesus was staying. (John 1:39) And that is our invitation to you if you’ve ever thought about being baptized as a Christian disciple of Jesus, or, if you’ve been baptized in another denomination, and you’ve thought about becoming a Roman Catholic. Our preparation and formation program, the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults), is always ready to accept those inquiring into becoming fully initiated Catholic Christians. Please email Deacon Pat McCusker at psmccusker.yahoo.com or call (318) 4432145.

NEXT WEEKEND 2ND COLLECTION Next weekend, we will participate in the Retired Priests collection for our priests who have reached retirement age after years of faithful and dedicated service to the Diocese. With costs continually escalating, the monthly retirement benefit for our 17 retirees must be adjusted periodically as well. I appreciate your generosity in helping to assure that the needs of our retired priests will continue to be met, and I ask that you also keep them in your prayers.
THANK YOU!!! To everyone who donated protein for the Shepherd Center & candy for the Halloween Booth.
