ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO…

• Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?

• Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist?

• Just wants to know more about the Catholic faith? We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, your insights and your faith story in a warm accepting setting. For information about the 2017-2018 Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults beginning September 11 or you would like to be a member of the RCIA team, please contact Bill & Georgia Kincer at brgkincer@icloud.com or 979-532-3519.

The U.S. Catholic Bishops invite the faithful to join a movement of prayer and sacrifice for the protection of life, marriage, and religious liberty in our country. Serious threats to each of these have raised unprecedented challenges to the Church and the nation. When confronted with challenges, our Lord calls us to sacrifice and pray. View www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/take-action-now/call-to-prayer/index.cfm to learn more about how you can answer the Call.

Pope’s July Intention for Evangelization: Lapsed Christians. That our brothers & sisters who have strayed from the faith, through our prayer and witness to the Gospel, may rediscover the merciful closeness of the Lord and the beauty of the Christian life.

THE SILENT SENTINEL

A vigil candle is a “silent sentinel” and your representative before our Lady’s Shrine. A vigil candle can burn for your special intention or for someone who is in need of prayers. This is a thoughtful expression of your sentiments and best wishes for any occasion. Open dates are available this year for remembering or honoring your loved ones with a Blessed Virgin Mary vigil candle intention. The cost is $10 per candle and proceeds benefit the Holy Family Altar Society. Please contact Kay Kunkel at 979-533-3555 or rubykunkel@yahoo.com to schedule an intention.
