Dear Parishioners,
Last weekend, I announced a project of praying for those that do not attend Mass on a regular basis. THis weekend, I will write it down, now that most already have heard it. We are inviting you to pray for those that you might be aware of who do not practice the faith by name. We have a little half sheet for that. If you wish, please put it in the white boxes in the sanctuaries of our Churches, and we will pray for these people with you. As part of this effort, we have published bookmarks - we have plenty so take as many as you desire or can use. Eventually, we hope that you will gently invite them back to Mass.
Shortly, we be announcing another project's formal beginning. For a number of years, Lighthouse Media has provided parishes with CDs on various topics of the Catholic faith. We decided that this would be a good thing to do. We will have a number of topics available on hand in our gathering areas. (If there is a particular topic you want, just ask Mike McKeown or me). Each cd has a suggested offering of $2, but note it is only suggested. Once you listen to it, you are welcome to keep it or pass it on to someone who might need to hear it.
Finally, I started a blog for this effort, in addition to several other reasons. I will post the Mass schedule, in addition to other items (such as the bulletin insert regarding the HHS mandate) there. We are developing question/answers for the local papers, and these will be posted there as well. Check it out often at http://lotwafc.blogspot.com (note it is the acronym for the Light of the World Area Faith Community) followed by blogspot.com.
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
