On the weekend of August 6-7, we welcome Father Joey B. Manaran of the Disciples of Mary who will be sharing his missionary experience. His mission apostolate is to the young people in the Philippines who are confronted with serious challenges of addiction, materialism, violence and abuse. We are invited to take part in the worldwide mission of our Church through our prayers and donations, and to receive the full graces of the Eucharist offered for us by this missionary priest. Catholics have traditionally extended their love and generosity to the missions of the world through the Propagation of Faith Appeal. Please be as generous as possible in responding to our Lord’s call for each one of us to take part in His mission to all people.  A 2nd collection will be taken up at all weekend Masses.
