Parish Mission Follow-up Many who attended the mission have requested additional information about the charities that were featured in some of the film clips shared by Gerry Straub. Gerry happily provides links and contact information for all charities he has featured. He does so on his website. For further information on these organizations, for a free subscription to Gerry’s blog as well as to learn about the future projects of Pax et Bonum, you need only visit Gerry’s website at: paxetbonumcomm.org. Thank you to all who attended the Parish Mission with Gerry Staub and those who came to the Soup Supper. There were many comments about the impact of the various presentations. Hopefully it provided good food for thought during the Season of Lent. Special thanks to Lisa Juriga and Val Fournier for all of their work on putting the mission together. www.standrewchurch.org 248.651.7486 March 8, 2015 4 Worship Attention Lectors Q & A about Lent from USCCB The new schedules for weekend and Q.
