MARION COUNTY MISSION - WARM UP WEEKEND

REGIONAL PARISH MISSION BEGINS MONDAY NIGHT

"SENT TO SHINE"
presented by 
Father Ronald Knott


SATURDAY EVENING MASS IN CALVARY



I began my warm-up weekend preaching the 4:30 pm Mass in my old parish (1980-1983) of Holy Name of Mary in Calvary. I was so excited to be there that I forgot to take pictures. I did take a photo of the Saturday night supper group when I got back to Lebanon. This group gathers regularly on Saturday evening. 

SUNDAY MORNING MASSES IN LEBANON

I continued my warm-up weekend by preaching the 7:30, 9:00 and 11:00 am Masses at St. Augustine in Lebanon. 

I had coffee with pastor, Father Bill Bowling, before the early Mass. 

Father Stephen Koola, from India, is the associate pastor.

After the 11:00 am Mass, the Knights of St. Peter Claver, served wonderful fried chicken and country ham dinners. Did I stay? Of course I stayed!

EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING

It seems that they are very excited about the Parish Mission on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm. It is open to the whole region. Hopefully, I will see people from several of the surrounding parishes.
My gospel music group, REFLECTIONS, will be going down with me.
All proceeds, after expenses, will be going to my mission projects down in the island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines where I have been volunteering.
