Holy Family New Albany

My Dear People, 

As we continue to be temporarily displaced from our Church Sanctuary, we gathered again on this Summer Sunday for our Liturgies in Marchino Hall as we celebrated the Feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul according to our Liturgical Calendars.

We also gathered the Annual Peter’s Pence Collection this weekend. Hopefully you brought your envelope from your monthly packet for this collection which assists our Holy Father, Pope Benedict, to reach out to people in need to assist them in times of natural and man-made disasters throughout our world communities and countries.

This Friday is July 4^th and the National Holiday of Independence Day. Our Parish Offices will be closed on this day and we will be celebrating a Morning Mass on this day beginning at 9:00AM in Marchino Hall. Please mark your calendars and join us!

Next weekend at each of our Masses we will have with us the first of our two Visiting Missionaries for the Summer of 2008. These Missionaries are assigned to our parish by our Archdiocesan Mission Office. They come to inform us of their work in spreading the Gospel among peoples of foreign lands and to invite us to support them in their duties by means of our daily prayers and through a Second Collection that will be taken up. Sister Mary Claudina Sanz, OSP, will be with us. Sister is a member of the Oblate Sisters of Providence located in Baltimore, Maryland.

God’s peace and all my love,

  Father Sonny Day

 United States Catholic Catechism for AdultsHave you ever had this happen to you? Your child comes home from school or CFF and asks, “Mom/Dad, what are the four pillars of the Church?” (or any such question) and you had to say, “I don’t know, it was so long ago when I learned all of that.” Well, here is your chance to catch up to your child/grandchild. A new group is forming to study the recently published United States Catholic Catechism for Adults put out by the United States Bishops. We will meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 in the Holy Family Parish Activity Center beginning on April 29th and continuing through the end of August. The book cost is $16.50. Also available, a Reader’s Guide for $6.00 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church for $6.60. If this sounds like fun to you, invite a friend and join us. It is not necessary to be at EVERY session since each chapter stands on its own. Please contact Theresa in the Parish Office for more information-944-8283.
