I have been notified of the sad

Education and for the Department of Catholic Schools for many,
many years. Her funeral mass will take place Friday, April 21st

Please keep Mary Lou's family in your prayers.

CONGRESS LITURGIES
This Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, as called for by Pope
Francis, has inspired many people already and given the Church
great energy moving into the next year. It had a great impact on
our work in preparation for Congress 2017. The jubilee year, along with Pope
Francis' encyclical on the environment, sparked some wonderful
creativity in our liturgy preparations. Our hope is that the
liturgies of Congress may be a Spirit-filled encounter with
Christ Jesus and a celebration of the life of the Church.
We invite you to experience a liturgy from among the many
cultures represented.
