“SURGE OF THE HEART” 3- DAY PARISH MISSION

The time has come for our parish mission! Are you ready??
Next week on January 13-15, we will be hosting Catholic speaker and best- selling author Jon Leonetti for our
three evening parish mission. Jon will be presenting from 7:00 pm-8:10pm on three distinct topics within our
Catholic faith.
Evening 1- Who is God and why does that matter?
Evening 2- Jon will outline the lives of some of the most fascinating and holy people to ever walk the planet .
Evening 3- Jon will help us live an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ in the messiness of everyday life.

Make sure to invite a family member or friend, no sign up is needed!

Day care is provided for those who signed up, at the K of C hall during the time of the mission.
Also, we will kick off the mission with a Chili and Cinnamon Roll dinner from 5:30-6:30 at the K
of C Hall on Sunday, January 13 the first night of the Mission.

We hope to see our entire parish during these 3 nights!
