AN INVITATION From Fr. Bill and our Parish Family If You Are Not a Catholic
You are always welcome amongst us. You may come as often as you like to our Sunday Eucharist and/or any of our other celebrations or activities. You are also invited to come and find-out what we Catholic Christians are all about. In fact, we would really like to tell you all about us. What we believe as Catholic Christians, how we express our beliefs, and how we live it. We are not perfect. We are sinners who have hope because of our faith in Christ Jesus. In fact, we acknowledge that we are sinners who are trying to repent and to change our ways, so as to be able to believe more deeply in the Good News of Jesus and thus live out the Gospel more faithfully in our daily lives. We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Promised One, and that He came to save us. We very much believe in the forgiveness of sin and God's unconditional love for all of His children. We have experienced God's movement and presence in the Catholic Christian Church. We would love to have you as a part of our community, and so we invite you to join us.
We will have a wonderful night on Monday, January 14th, in our Parish Hall at 7:30 p.m. to meet you and hear your stories. Fr. Bill and all of us, would delight in personally meeting you and extending our hands in greeting and welcome.

AN INVITATION From Fr. Bill and our Parish Family
If You Still Consider Yourself a Catholic But You Have Not Been Around in Quite Awhile, you are invited to come back home. We miss you! We are saving a place in a pew for you, and in our hearts. We are looking for you! We would do anything that we possibly could do to help you come home and be part of our family again. We are praying that you can at least come and share with us what is keeping you away: Some Catholic Christian teaching? Some marriage problem? Something that someone said or did that hurt you deeply? Please consider giving us another chance! Please! We are sorry if we drove you away! Please prayerfully find it in your heart to forgive us! We need to be whole again but we cannot be whole without you! You are an intimate part of our parish community. We need you in order to be able to fully help us celebrate with the Lord each Sunday.
You are invited to come on Monday, January 28th at 7:30 p.m. to the Parish Hall for a special gathering. Fr. Bill, Deacon Joe, and all of us would like to extend a warm hand of welcome and say "Hello". We want you to come home! We need you! Come and help us become one again!
