2nd Annual Veteran’s Day Concert

Our 2nd annual Family Fall Festival and Ministry Fair will be on Sunday, November 4th from noon-2:00. This is a free event that is open to our parishioners and any guests they would like to invite. We will have fun games and prizes and plenty of yummy food. This is a great opportunity to get to know your parish family and find ways that you can serve in our parish. We are in need of people to make food and to help work the games. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Narthex for those of you willing to help and contribute. You can sign up to work a tent for any of our ministries even if you may not be interested in volunteering for that ministry. Volunteering is a wonderful way to get to know the members of our awesome parish family. Please call Cherie at 228-365-4017 or email me at cmprentiss@att.net if you have any questions. We hope to see you all there!!

Our Children’s Choir is resuming with a few new changes. First, we are extending the age of participants. Our choir was for children ages 4-12. It will now be open to children ages 4-14. We will still sing once a month at the 11:00 mass. We may have some additional performances throughout the year for some special events.  Our practices will now be on Tuesday evenings from 5:15-6:15. When we are preparing for special events we may extend the practice time. Once a child reaches the age of 15 they are welcome to sing with our Lifeteen music ministry or our Sunday morning adult choirs. I am so blessed by the beautiful singers that we have and very happy that they desire to continue to share their special gifts with our parish. If you are new to our parish and would like to join any of our music ministries please contact me or just come to a scheduled practice. Thanks as always for the endless support you give to all our music endeavors!    God Bless!  Cherie
