Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Our Knights of Columbus are hosting the traveling icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The icon is traversing our nation in an effort to foster devotion and to beseech our Lord to bring peace

and unity to our beloved country. Our celebration will be a holy hour in St. Mary Magdalen Church, be-ginning at 7:00PM on August 7.  Special prayer books will be distributed to guide us in our prayer. Please invite as many people as you like from within or outside of our parish to this blessed event.

On the weekend of August 9 & 10, we will participate in our annual mission appeal. We will welcome two priests from Tanzania in Africa to relate to us the good work that we may assist with our prayers and donations.

And just to remind you, the work on our sister parish, St. Anthony’s in the Diocese of Sunyani (Fr. Domi-nic’s diocese) has reached the halfway mark of completion. The parish is in need of $20,000 dollars (US)to finish the construction. If you are able to assist in this important work please make your donations assoon as possible. Checks should be made out to St. John the Evangelist Church. Our office will make the transfer of funds to St. Anthony’s.

With Blessings,

Father Langan
