Mission appeal scheduled this weekend

Each year our parish is called to host a missionary group. The weekend of June 20 & 21, Father Mark Brummel, C.M.F., a member of the Claretians, will speak and make an appeal at all the Masses.

Founded in 1849 by Saint Anthony Mary Claret, a Spanish missionary, the Claretians number more than 3,000 priests, brothers and lay volunteers who can be found in more than 60 countries. The Claretians have been active in the United States since 1902. The motto of the Claretians is "The love of Christ drives us on".

Committed to seeing the world through the eyes ofthe poor, the Claretians strive to respond to the most urgent and timely needs of recent immigrants, youth and families, leadership training and spiritual renewal.
