celebrated on November 04, 2017 in Mobile, AL.

The celebration will begin at 11:00 AM with the

Celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the

Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. At

the conclusion of Mass, we will proceed to the

Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel in

beautiful Downtown Mobile for lunch and the

concluding celebratory program.

The cost of the delicious luncheon will be $30.00 per person. The

reduced cost of each kid-friendly meal for children 11 years and under is

What's the best way to repair a damaged

relationship? Jesus offers his disciples spiritual

freedom and power for restoring broken or injured

relationships.

Thank you for your generous

donations to the Hurricane Harvey

Relief Efforts.

Please take a moment after Mass to give a donation for

the Ribs and Chicken for our Fall Festival. $40 would

be a great donation, but we won’t say no to anything

you can contribute for this worthy event.

Your generosity is deeply appreciated!

to have a Mass offered for a

deceased loved-one or for a

special intention. Make your

Mass requests at the Rectory.

Weekend Masses are reserved

for the Parish only. You may

make your request for Mass

Intentions Tuesday through

Friday.

and pay tribute to our

make a contribution on their

birthdays to the SJM School

Endowment Fund. Consider

m a k i n g m e m o r i a l

contributions in memory of

your grandparents, parents,

children and other relatives

annually on special days.

Contributions may also be

made at any time in honor of

living family members and

friends. No contribution is too

small and, at your request, a

card will be sent to an

honoree or bereaved family.

To make a tribute gift or a

donation to the Endowment

Fund, please contact Sybil

Whitfield at 471-3978.
