The Lakeshore Hispanic Ministry Program is looking for a reliable small to mid-size car for use by our summer visiting priest. Our preference is for a 2010 or newer model with under 125,000 miles that does not require significant maintenance. There must be enough cargo space to carry a small table and other items for Mass. If you have one you would be willing to donate, or sell at a significant discount, please contact Fr. Dave.

This weekend, August 17/18th., our brothers and sisters representing the Land of Peace mission- a nonprofit organization will be with us speaking about the Christian situation in the Holy Land and selling Crucifixes, religious art work, and rosaries- all made of olive wood which is native to Israel and Bethlehem. Since tourism has greatly depleted, Christian families in the holy land, who depend on tourists, have been greatly affected. The goal of this mission is to build a Charitable Hospital in Bethlehem and help the poor and needy families in Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Sale of these goods will help them very much and also give you the opportunity to have “something” authentic from the holy land. Please browse and buy some articles. It is for a good cause and also a help to your personal devotion.  see Website:    www.landofpeace.org 

There will be a Vigil Mass on Wednesday, August 14th at 6:30 p.m.
Mass on Thursday, August 15th will be at 8:00 a.m.
