YEAR FOR PRIESTS: On the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Friday, June 19, 2009, Pope Benedict inaugurated a “Year for Priests” in honor of the 150th anniversary of the death of John Mary Vianney, patron saint of parish priests. This Year, meant to deepen the commitment of all priests to interior renewal for the sake of a more forceful witness to the Gospel, will conclude on the same Solemnity in 2010. As the “Year for Priests” gets underway, let us resolve to keep in our prayers our Holy Father, Pope Benedict, our bishops Daniel and Dennis, and Fr. Umberg and Fr. Rehling.
PETER'S PENCE: The Peter’s Pence Collection, in support of the works of the Holy Father, unites us in solidarity to the Holy See and its works of charity to those in need. Your generosity allows the Pope to respond with emergency financial assistance to our brothers and sisters throughout the world who suffer from war, oppression, famine, disease, and natural disasters. This weekend, June 27 & 28 is the Peter’s Pence Collection. Please prayerfully consider your donation and be as generous as you can.
