An Invitation To Find More Joy & Purpose in Life

Dear Parish Family,

Our Lord came to set us free from oppression and works of the devil and to help us live life more abundantly (c.f. John 10:10).

As we reflect on our contemporary culture, we see that many people are being misled and are not living abundantly. Too often people are lied to about God and His saving plan of redemption for all humanity.

The Lord wants to begin a powerful movement of renewal in His Church so that all of us can be part of His desire to renew all things in Christ. God is generous and wants to lavish the gracious gift of the Holy Spirit upon us in abundance to help us operate in dynamic power.

I personally want to extend an invitation to you to join us for a great opportunity to experience personal and powerful transformation and renewal so that we can be equipped to take our place in the Church to bring the Good News to those around us. The time has come for us to pray for the fire of the Holy Spirit to ignite our lives, burn away doubt and confusion bringing healing and clarity of mind and heart, and giving us supernatural power to conduct the mission of the Church to share the Good News with great joy and enthusiasm.

Please mark your calendars for our All Parish Family Lenten Mission from March 9-11 from 6:30PM-8:30PM at Sacred Heart.

In Christ,

Fr. James Northrop, Pastor
