3 St. Denis - St. Columba School REGISTRATION OPEN We are now accepting new registrations for the school year. If you are interested in giving your child the gift of a Catholic Education, or would like more information about our school, please call the school office at or check out our school website at: Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America and Catholic Home Mission Appeal. Catholics in Latin America and the Caribbean face many challenges, including violence and a lack of both clergy and lay leadership to witness to the gospel message. Your support shares the faith with those in need and gives the youth an opportunity to share their faith and break the cycle of violence in their neighborhoods. The Catholic Home Mission Appeal works to support mission dioceses here at home by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, which educate each seminarian at a cost of $35,000 - $40,000 per year. Your support is needed for these young men, so that they can return to serve their parishes. Please give generously to next week s Collection. Dear Fr. Michael: Re: 2014 Mission Appeal The Society For The Propagation Of The Faith Archdiocese of New York Thank you very much for your hospitality to a member of the Franciscan Missionary Union of the Most Holy Name Province on the weekend of 7/13/2014 when he visited St. Columba s Church and made an appeal on behalf of The Society as part of Mission Cooperative Thank you also for the check in the amount of $2,741.00, representing the sacrifices of your good people in response to the appeal.
