March 7-10, 2010

The recent months have a lot of us wondering, is there still hope for our future?  It seems like most of the news we hear is negative. Come to the mission and hear the good news and hope in Jesus Christ as Father Bill Garrott, O.P. presents, “A Future Full of Hope.”

Fr. Garrott plays the piano, organ, guitar and composes music.  He enjoys a wide variety of music from contemporary Christian to Jazz.  Fr. Garrott was a 17 year-old high school soccer player when he first began to experience and understand the joy of knowing Jesus Christ in a deeply personal way. Once a fan of the rock group Led Zeppelin, Fr. Garrott now uses his musical talent to draw listeners into a deeper knowledge of that unconditional love which the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have made known to us through the richness of the Catholic Faith.  Fr. Garrott has preached over 30 musically based missions through out the United States and has released a CD of selections performed during parish missions, some of which are his own compositions. Currently, he is Director of Vocations for the Dominicans of St. Joseph’s Province, headquartered in New York City.

See the Limerick and Bulletin for more information.

A group of about 50 parishoners from Sts. Joan of Arc and Patrick in Kokomo and St. Mary in Muncie made a pilgrimage to Washington DC  to participate in the peaceful protest of the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the infamous case which paved the way for no-fault abortion. This included 25 adults and 25 youth. During their pilgrimage they attended the Vigil Mass for Life at the Basilica, toured by night the Lincoln Monument, Jefferson Monument, and Roosevelt Monument. They also toured the Franciscan Monastery prior to beginning the March for Life before heading home. Here are some pictures to share of their experience while standing up for the fundamental belief of the Catholic Faith: All human life is sacred.
