Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish

First, if you know of someone who is homebound or in a nursing home who would like to be visited and receive Holy Communion, please call our parish office. We want to make sure that all those who desire to receive the Lord are able to do so. Just another reminder to turn in your pledge card for our Capital Campaign. We are making good progress, but we will need everyone’s help to meet our goal. Thank you to those who have already pledged. Finally, don’t forget our October 15th event on our parking lot from 11am-2pm. We’ll have food trucks and we are inviting members of the local community to share in fellowship. If you’re able to help with this event, please contact Tina Schutte in our parish office. Let’s pray the Hail Mary this week for those suffering mental illness. May the Blessed Mother accompany them in their sufferings. Thank you and have a great week!

First, thanks to those who have already returned their Capital Campaign commitment cards. If you are able to return yours at your earliest convenience, I would be very grateful. We have already had a great response. Secondly, I announced this past weekend at the Latin Mass that Bishop Siegel has decided to move that Mass to Sacred Heart Church here in Evansville. There are a number of reasons for the move, but I sincerely hope it will provide a stable home for that community. That move will take effect on the first Sunday of October. Finally, this coming weekend is Catechetical Sunday and I just want to thank all those, parents and teachers alike, who help to pass on the faith. Let’s pray the Hail Mary this week for them, that Mary will intercede for them and give them patience and wisdom. Thank you and have a great week!

First, if you are interested in joining a small group that is focused on studying creation care and how it relates to our faith, you can contact Jenny DiLegge at 812-306-4512. There is more information in our bulletin about this group and what their focus will be. Secondly, I just want to let you know that you will soon be hearing about a Capital Campaign that we will be launching in our parish to replace the roof on our church and make some necessary repairs to our façade. In the coming weeks you can expect a letter from me in the mail about these much-needed projects. We have been so blessed by your generosity in Sunday Giving that we are able to keep what we are asking of you to a minimum. Let’s pray the Hail Mary this week for farmers and for all those who provide for our needs. Thank you and have a great week!
