SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE

      For those who desire to gather for prayer and worship, and the opportunity to reflect together upon the experience of the godly concerns which were ours this weekend, let's come together in the Erickson Center by 11:00 am.

     The hour will be a time for personal and prayerful sharing from grateful hearts and in an ecumenical spirit.  Please see Fr. Jim O'Brien during the weekend if you wish to reserve some brief time for offering a special prayer or consideration from your own faith tradition.  Musical contributions will be especially welcome.

    For those who wish to join with local communities of their own faith tradition, consult Fr. O'Brien or the local Saturday newspaper.  A Catholic Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am on campus, in the Chapel of Mary and Joseph. 

Thank you for your Attendance and Participation!!
Stay and Celebrate the Weekend!!!
