Parish Mission – October 15, 16 & 17

SMM is hosting a parish mission on October 15, 16 and 17 with  Fr. Ron Hoye, C.M.  presenting.  The theme of the mission is “Ignite Your Faith”…a series of talks intended to affirm the Catholic character of the individual and group while at the same time raising the process of conversion to which each faithful member is called.  Come join the
spiritual gathering of story, prayers and scriptures you don’t want to miss.  For those attending the mission, there will be a free will offering on the last night.
