We welcome   Fr. Joseph J Arackal V.C.,   a Vincentian Missionary Priest from India, to our parish this weekend to participate in our Annual Missionary Cooperation Plan. He is preaching at all the Masses this weekend and will make an appeal on behalf of the Vincentian Missions. The Vincentian Missionaries, all natives of India, need our help to carry out their many missionary, educational and charitable activities in their missions.

 They need our special financial support for the training of young men studying for priesthood. The second collection today will be to help the Missionary work of the Vincentian Missionaries.

I ask you to be very generous in your mission offering since these Missionaries need our help. If you did not have an opportunity to make an offering today or would like to make an additional offering, you may make your offering through the general parish collection next weekend in a specially marked envelope.

Please keep Fr. Joseph and all the Vincentian Missionaries and seminarians in your prayers.  Thank you very much for your prayers and generous financial support.
