This weekend Fr. Lamar will be coming to speak about the Co-Redemptorist Association.

Co-Redemptorists are lay men and women who take an active role in helping to recruit and support young men who choose to pursue religious life as Redemptorist priests and brothers.
In the past 50 years, Co-Redemptorists have helped over 300 men become Redemptorist priests and brothers. Co-Redemptorists close the gap between our costs for educating our seminarians and our resources from past gifts and savings. We suggest that each Co-Redemptorist offer to cover the gap for one seminarian for one day each month. This gap is $15 a day for each seminarian in the program. Co-Redemptorists are currently aiding 88 seminarians to become Redemptorists in three countries: USA, Brazil and Nigeria.

St. Gerard Majella Church will be having its annual Blue Mass for police officers and first responders on July 15, 2018 at 10 AM.

Lunch to follow in the parish hall.

You can find the Facebook Event here.

The office will be closed today for the 4th of July. May everyone have a safe and blessed holiday.

We are all called to serve the church. Please consider volunteering to be:

• Ushers
• Lectors
• Eucharistic Ministers
