OTHER INTENTIONS: Our Holy Father, Bishops and Clergy, Service men and women, firefighters and police, families of the Minnesota Bridge disaster and for the Canonization of Fr. Michael J. McGivney.
Fr. Michael Magiera led the Assembly in the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary.
NEW MEMBERS: Ron Malan and his son Tom Malan, both sponsored by Ken Konklin, Welcome to our Assembly.
Acting Faithful Friar Fr. Michael Magiera delivered “Words of Wisdom” and urged the Assembly to actively recruit younger men for membership in the order and “lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor” as the prayer for the canonization of Fr. McGivney states that Fr. McGivney did. Fr. Magiera recently attended several Ordinations and asked the Assembly to recommit to support our priests always, and to plant the seeds for vocations as often as possible. He also advised he was available to the members for help or service required.
Faithful Navigator Nate Schallert is trying to locate 3 sets of cd’s on the Life or Fr. McGivney and to get them circulating throughout the membership. If you have one, bring it to the next meeting. The title is “Parish Priest Michael McGivney and American Catholicism”.
