Help our fellow Christians in the Holy Land…
On the weekend of August 3-4, our brothers and sisters representing the Land of Peace mission, a nonprofit organization, will be visiting our Parishes speaking about the Christians and the ongoing situation in the Holy Land. They will be selling Crucifixes, religious artwork, and rosaries- all made of olive wood which is native to Israel and Bethlehem- to raise funds to help support our fellow brothers and sisters. Since tourism has greatly depleted, Christian families in the holy land who depend on tourists have been greatly affected. The goal of this mission is to help the poor and needy families in Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Sales of these goods will help them very much, and also give you the opportunity to have something authentic from the holy land. Please browse and buy some articles. It is for a good cause and also a help to your personal devotion. Please visit their website:

Annual Catholic Services Appeal

This May, we are raising funds for the annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA). Your support makes a difference for important ministries in the diocese and beyond. Thanks to generous support of CSA, thousands of families in our parishes, Catholic schools, and ministries are supported each year. Our parish is asked to support the CSA to help provide for these diocesan programs that no single parish could sustain on its own. The CSA effort is a means by which we work together to care for the Church by sharing the gifts God has given to us.   Please make a gift today to support this important mission. Learn more and give online at http://DioceseofGaylord.org/24CSA.
