WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS | october 19-25

Mass Schedule

Due to our Catholic Bazaar this weekend, we will NOT have 10:30 am or 12:30 pm Mass on Sunday! Please plan to attend either 5:00 pm on Saturday at SJA or 8:00 am on Sunday at OLPH.

Disciple Maker Index Survey

Time is running out to complete the Disciple Maker Index (DMI) survey! This important survey is essential in helping Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. John the Apostle assess our greatest strengths and opportunities, so that our parishes can thrive. If you're a parishioner, take the DMI survey today (see above)! We need your response to help strengthen our parishes and better prepare us for the future — as we strive to grow as disciples of Christ. The survey closes Sunday!!

Italy Saints & Shrines Pilgrimage

Join Fr. Preston for a faith-filled pilgrimage to Italy, November 1-10, 2027, exploring the sacred sites, beautiful basilicas, and rich Catholic heritage of Rome, the Vatican, Assisi, Siena, and Orvieto. Visit the tombs of beloved saints, celebrate daily Mass, and encounter the beauty of our Catholic faith in the places where it has been lived and celebrated for centuries. Informational packets with the itinerary, pricing, and registration details are available at the back of both churches. Take one home to learn more about this special spiritual journey!

Home Visits/Need Communion?

The Legion of Mary members take Communion and do home visits, visiting those who are sick or homebound and cannot make it to Mass! If you're interested yourself or know of a family member or loved one who would be, please contact Linda at 979-236-3978. These ladies go out on Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Potential Scams

Please be aware of any SCAMS that may come as an email, text message, or phone call trying to impersonate Father Preston to solicit donations. He will never contact you personally asking for money or if you have time to chat!
