PARISH BULLETIN |
 |
Dear Parishioners, Often, I hear from children (and, at times, also from adults) why should we go to Mass on the Lord’s Day? A few months ago I asked members of the Parish staff to come up with a small list of reasons that we could all use when talking to the children at school and at religious education classes. You might find them helpful to review yourselves and with members of your family. 1. Jesus invites us "DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME" Sincerely, Fr. Ring |
