'Come Share the Wine:' What is MISSION?
Pope John Paul wrote: “Clearly we are the Body of Christ because we are all 'anointed' and in him are 'christs,' that is, 'anointed ones,' as well as Christ himself, 'The Anointed One.”
“A new aspect to the grace and dignity coming from Baptism is here introduced: the lay faithful participate, for their part, in the threefold mission of Christ as Priest, Prophet and King.” (Christifedelis Laici)

Pray for and Support Kaitlin Perks:
Kaitlin, a member of our parish, has received news that after 5+ months fighting AML leukemia, there is nothing more that Doctors can do for her other than try to keep her comfortable. The Perks family has been members of the community for years, and could use your help as they pray for a miracle. She is now too ill to go in public, but please pray for her together in the church as she returns to God.
