Membership Sunday YOU, TOO, CAN BE MY WITNESS

Today… Join in the worldwide mission of Je-sus … by reaching to the furthest ends of the earth to open wide the doors to Christ and to the wonders of God’s world; to educa-tion, to medical care, to spiritual peace. We are all called at baptism to be “missionaries.” Please say “YES” in this special way this weekend. Deacon Ray Moon will be speaking at all our Masses today on the missionary endeavors of the Church and how we can help our poorest brothers and sisters in developing countries.

Domingo de Membresía TÚ, TAMBIEN, PUEDES SER

MI TESTIGO Hoy… Únete en la misión mundial de Jesús… llegando a los confines más lejanos de la tierra para abrir de par en par las puertas a Cristo y a las maravillas del mundo de Dios; la educación, la asistencia médica, la paz espiritual. Por medio de nuestro bautismo estamos llamados a ser “misioneros”. Por favor di “SÍ” en esta manera especial este fin de semana. El Diácono Ray Moon estará hablando en todas nuestras misas de hoy acerca de los esfuerzos misioneros de la Iglesia y cómo podemos ayudar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas más pobres en los países en desarrollo.
