Catholicism Video Series
- Starting Wednesday, January 25th, we will begin a weekly study program on
this series by Fr. Robert Barron (Word on Fire) from 6:30
to 8:30 pm. Each session begins with a DVD showing and
concludes with a discussion of key questions. If you are
interested in being a part of this study group to learn more about
your faith, contact Mary Kaye Gubenski.
New English Translation at Mass - November 27, 2011, the first Sunday of
Advent, is the scheduled date of implementation of the Third Edition
of the Roman Missal. The Mass isn't changing! But
the new English translation will be closer to the original Latin
texts and will give deeper meaning to the celebration. There
is a pamphlet series available for you in the back of our church so
you can be better prepared to participate in Mass when the changes
are implemented.
