*From
the Pastor’s Desk:
For this year’s assigned mission cooperative appeal we are hosting
in both parishes this weekend the Fathers of the Holy Spirit (“Spiritans,”
formerly known as “the Holy Ghost Fathers”). We welcome Rev. Dr.
James Okoye, S.S.Sp. who is visiting our parishes July 17-18th.
Father James is from Nigeria, and is presently teaching Scripture at
C.T.U. in Chicago, IL. We will have the customary Second
Collection after Communion for the benefit of the missions of the
Congregation of the Holy Spirit.
Although I have not had any time to make personal plans as of this
writing, I have scheduled several vacation days around the date
chosen for this year’s annual Mission Cooperative Appeal after I
again reconfirmed Fr. Okoye’s schedule (since we usually get a
priest for the appeal every other year). Marcia Waters is the usual
contact at St. Peter’s office in my absence. The Holy Name message
will also often refer you to Roger and Judy Doane (384-4227) for
additional information. Our regular schedule resumes with Saturday
afternoon Confessions and Mass on July 24th.
Bishop Gettelfinger is scheduled to visit Holy Name as part of this
year’s 50th Anniversary of the dedication of the Church. On August
7th the Bishop will celebrate Mass at Holy Name at 5:30 p.m. There
will be NO vigil Mass of anticipation at St. Peter on Saturday,
August 7th.
