Our pre-Lenten parish mission "Being a Faith-Filled Catholic" begins this weekend with Father Oscar Lukefahr, mission director, preaching at all the Masses.  Mission talks will be given each day, Monday through Thursday in the mornings immediately following the 9:00 a.m. Mass (lasting about an hour).  The same talk will be repeated at 6:00 p.m. each day (with Father Lukefahr making himself available each evening at 5:40 p.m. for any questions about the Catholic faith).  On Thursday, there will be a Mass at 6:00 p.m. in addition to the regular 9:00 a.m. Mass, followed by the last talk.  A reception will conclude the mission Thursday after each session.  Please be ready for a collection that will be taken up on Thursday to help the work of the Vincentian missionary order.  Also note:  we will offer the Sacrament of Anointing for our sick and elderly parishioners on Tuesday both at the morning Mass and during the evening session. This mission talks are as follows:

Monday:          "Being Catholic is Knowing Jesus"
Tuesday:        "The Bible and Catechism: Listening to Jesus"
Wednesday:  "The Four Levels of Happiness: Following Jesus"
Thursday:       "Mass and Holy Communion: The Real Presence of Jesus"

Morning coffee will be available in either a classroom or the classroom hallway.  Please contact Don Ritter at 224-659-5001 with questions.  Please join us and bring your friends!
