Names for the sick list come from hospital visitation lists; also from telephone calls made to the parish office. We are aware that there are many others in the parish and community who are suffering and, therefore, we ask those who are praying to include in your prayers “all in our parish and community who are in need of healing, physical or spiritual.”

Please remember to let the parish office know when a loved one goes into the hospital. A priest or Church representative will come to visit and minister the sick person.

Please join us in praying the Rosary before the daily Masses on Tues, Weds, and Thurs at 8 am. If you would be interested in leading a decade of the Rosary on a certain weekday, please contact Nellie Johnson 228-864-6098.

The Diocese has asked us to support a special collection on Father’s Day (next Sunday). It is important for you to know that this collection is for retired diocesan priests in this diocese. Diocesan priests are provided a modest pension in their golden years by an endowment to which parishes pay a yearly assessment. In addition, priests who are in their senior years receive a small pension through Catholic Sharing Appeal.

If you are still looking for a special graduation or Confirmation gift, the Good Shepherd is located in the East Foyer and will be open after all masses. Also coming up is Father’s Day so this could be a good opportunity for something for a great dad!.
