2010 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES ANNUAL APPEAL
Diocese of Joliet
Sign-Up Weekend, April 24/25
In today's Gospel, while crossing the
sea in their boat, the Apostles see
Jesus coming to them, walking on the
water. Many challenges and problems
frighten us. Christ's presence through
our Diocesan Ministries becomes the best compass and guide.
The Catholic Ministries Appeal begins in our parish this
weekend. Every family will receive a letter from
Bishop J. Peter Sartain asking for a pledge to help us in calming
fears and taking our brothers and sisters safely to shore. Please
return your pledge card to the parish next weekend,
April 24/25, 2010.
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Do your children look forward to
the Liturgy of the Word for Children?
PLEASE NOTE: The Children’s Liturgy at
Sunday Masses will begin a summer
schedule on June 6 th .
This Liturgy will be offered only at the
9:30 am Mass until after the Labor Day
Holiday. We are in need of adult volunteers
in order to keep this ministry going!
If you are interested, please contact Beth
Tortorici @ 630-627-6288.
