As the 2017-18 school year in Bamako, Mali,  a recent photo of the students. One student, Mariam Ballo, was ill and  her father is on the right of the group. During the school year it is not unusual for several of the students to have bouts of malaria. It is remarkable how well these students cope with conditions that American students never encounter, such as no air conditioning and only a well in the center of the compound as a source of water. Thank you again for your generosity and faithfulness.

If you ever have to miss Mass because of the weather or illness, here are some tips to keep your Sabbath holy.

• Read the Sunday Mass readings.
• Watch or listen to Mass on EWTN. Check your cable or satellite provider for the channel.
• Pray for the intentions of Pope Francis alone or with your family.

IMPORTANT:

• Fr. Andy and most other pastors advise that a priority for your safety and the safety of people on whom you might cough, excuses missing Sunday Mass for serious illness such as a chronic cough. Please if you have a chronic cough stay home and take care of yourself. And above all PLEASE avoid drinking from the cup until your cough or condition is gone.

LANDINGS
 

Summer is well upon us and the new school season will begin before we know it. Along with these dog days of summer comes the time to start thinking about the upcoming RCIA year!
Who needs to consider the RCIA program?

1. Anyone who is not baptized or from another denomination.
2. Any Catholic person who is missing any of their sacraments.
3. Anyone, Catholic or otherwise who wants to learn more about our faith.
4. Any Catholic who is in proper standing within the church who would like to be a sponsor for our inquirers.

We will meet on Wednesday evenings in the church hall. Mass begins at 6:30 and class starts at 7:00. All participants will be provided with everything they need to be in the program. My team and I will provide a full meal for all attendees. Babysitting is available for anyone who needs this service and all materials are provided for you to deepen your understanding of all the lessons we will present.
This program aims to educate all seekers about the truths and doctrines of the Catholic Church. We look forward to accompanying you on your journey of faith and want to share in your experience in this journey.
Our first class will be held on August 30 at 7:00pm in the church hall, we look forward to meeting all who are interested in this course.
