Without the fundamental right to live, the right to not be killed, no other rights are meaningful. In fact, without life no other rights can exist.

We welcome Father James Huvane of Maryknoll this weekend, August 11th and 12th, at Blessed Sacrament. Maryknoll in brief Maryknoll is the overseas heart and hands of the Catholic Church in the United States. Founded in 1911 as the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, Inc., Maryknoll s job is to bring God s Word to foreign lands. Maryknollers share the Gospel, not in words alone, but in practical and concrete actions: by feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving shelter to the homeless, comforting the oppressed. In their joyful commitment to serve God s poor, Maryknoll Priests, Brothers, Seminarians and Priest and Brother Associates use their diverse talents and skills in a wide variety of apostolates. Among these activities are sacramental ministry, community development, teaching public health, farming, refugee work, lay leadership development, and orphanage administration. Respecting the rich culture of the peoples they serve, Maryknollers make every effort to develop Christian communities and encourage a native Catholic Clergy. Maryknoll depends entirely upon friends for support. Each benefactor s name is held in sacred trust. All gifts received are used solely in mission work, mission education, recruitment, training, and care of ill and retired missioners. If you have a child who will be in the Second Grade this year or any child older than Second Grade who may have missed their First Holy Communion, plan on attending a mandatory meeting for all First Communicant parents and children on Sunday, September 9th, following the 10:30 a.m. Mass, in the School Cafeteria.
