Annual Mission Co-op Appeal.- Father Julio Rodriguez will speaking at all Masses this weekend describing the work of and requesting support for his society, the Missionary Fraternity of Mary of Guatemala. He has been invited to our parish by the mission office of our Diocese.
Begun in 1981 as a youth ministry with seven young men, the Fraternity was subsequently established as a Society for Apostolic Life in 1990. Since then it has grown to over 150 ordained priests serving 64 missions in 31 dioceses in 11 countries. Currently there are approximately 100 seminarians in various stages of formation at the seminary in Guatemala. Fraternity mission sites are established where there are no clergy available to fulfill pastoral needs, in difficult economic areas, and among the poor and marginalized. Fraternity priests also evangelize youth, taking young men and women on a faith journey to develop their spiritual lives and strengthen their Catholic faith to help them positively impact the community of village in which they live. Please welcome Father Julio and be as generous as you can be in support of the work of the Fraternity. Website www.missionaryfraternityofmary

On "Vacation." - I will be gone beginning Sunday June 25th for a few days of undeserved but much needed rest.

I'll be back Friday June 30th to celebrate David Otte's funeral in Waterloo.
