For more than 30 years Annette has diligently constructed the Lay Minister Schedules for the weekend Masses. 

This coming Tuesday, April 12th at 10:30 am, at Nativity BVM, Biloxi, we will celebrate the Chrism Mass as will all Catholics around the world in preparation for the Easter Triduum.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is special in the lives of Roman Catholics. There may be moments when you think you would like to do more as a participant, such as serve as a Lector (reader of the Word) or Commentator (open the Mass with a warm welcome). You may also like to assist the priest as an Altar Server or EM (Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist).

Happy Birthday Father Vincent
