Parish Mission: “Where Is God These Days?” October 18-21
“Evangelization” or “preaching the good news” does not necessarily mean standing on a street corner shouting or waving the Scriptures as people pass by. It encompasses the many ways that we show we are disciples of Jesus.
One way is by invitation: Do you have friends who were raised Catholic and, for one reason or another, now feel alienated from the Church? Do you know someone who may be curious about the Catholic faith community? Do you have family or friends who may benefit from this renewal experience? Invite them to join you.
A complete schedule of the Mission is on page 2 for your planning purposes. Information is also on our website at saintspeter-paul.org The Nursery will be available on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
