Dear Friend,
This past week saw a rare event in the Catholic Church where a fellow American, the deceased Archbishop Fulton Sheen, was beatified. A strongly influential evangelist who was well known for his national television broadcast that took place from 1952-57 entitled "Life is Worth Living," he also was an extraordinary model for justice using his pulpit to promote the dignity of the human person, protect civil rights, deride racism and war. May his example inspire us to pursue holiness. Blessed Fulton Sheen... Pray for us!
And in the spirit of Blessed Fulton Sheen, we are honored that the Knights of Columbus will be holding their annual collection for their Annual Intellectual Disabilities Drive at Masses this weekend. The proceeds of the drive go to serve numerous programs including the Archdiocese's Special Religious Education program and the Special Olympics just to name a few. You'll remember this drive because when the Knights collect money, they exchange with donors a Tootsie Roll. Be sure to bring some extra cash to drop off with the Knights this weekend at Mass or make a donation with them online.
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
