SSJ Parish Mission - Sunday, March 1st to Wednesday, March 4 at 7:00 pm with Paulist Father John Collins, C.S.P. from NYC. Father John's approach is humorous, down to earth and a joy to behold. Father John will be preaching at all of the masses the weekend prior to the Mission so you can evaluate first hand how enjoyable this Mission promises to be. Don’t hesitate to bring a friend who might have wandered away from the Church. This might be the golden opportunity that a person may need to find peace and a way home. There is no need to sign up ahead of time. Just mark the dates on your calendar and prepare for a positive, uplifting series of sessions. Look for more information in the coming weeks.
