THE CHURCH OF S AINT I GNATIUS L OYOLA Catholic Education In Our Schools and Parishes: Educating the future generations of the faithful. Shaping the next generation of the faithful through a Catholic education in our schools and parishes is an essential mission of the Diocese of Scranton. Last year, more than 5,000 elementary, middle and high school students benefitted from the academic programs and spiritual guidance offered by our Catholic Schools. More than 18,000 children received religious education in parish-based programs, instilling in them an intimate knowledge of the faith and the love of God, and fostering a desire to serve one another. Our parish goal is $90,000.00. Please prayerfully consider your response. Thank you! WORLD MISSION SUNDAY - OCTOBER 18TH Next weekend we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. This year we are invited to support the 1,150 of the youngest dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe. Please keep the Missions in your prayers and please be generous in next weekend s collection for the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. Envelopes can be found in your packet of envelopes mailed to you for October. Please make checks payable to St. Ignatius Loyola Church as we will forward one check to the Diocese.
