Welcome to St. Casimir Church.   Alleluia, give thanks to the Risen Lord!

 

 

 

Lord Jesus, this Easter, may we remember why this season is celebrated above all others.  When we see eggs and rabbits, remind us of the joy brought by all new life, both through springtime in nature, and eternal life through your resurrection.  When we see bright ribbons and colors, may we remember the joy of this season, at the conclusion of Lent.   Above all, help us remember the greatest gift of all, your conquest of death and sin, which saved all of us from eternal death and opened heaven’s gates for us all

 

 

This Sunday, April 19th, is Divine Mercy Sunday.  Join the legion of Mary for the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy @ 3:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception.

 

A Reminder that our 1St. Communion will take place this year on Saturday May 2th at 11:00 a.m.

 

On May 21st we will celebrate the Feast of the Ascension with Mass at 7:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon at St. Casimir Church and at 5:30 p.m. at the Immaculate.

 

 

 

If you are planning to schedule a Baptism during the next 4 months, it is important to attend a Baptism Preparation Instruction.  Our next Baptism Instruction will be on Monday, April 27TH at 7:00 p.m.  at the Immaculate Conception Church.   Parents and Godparents should attend.   Godparents need a sponsor’s certificate from the parish they attend.  At least One Godparent must be a practicing Catholic.

 

 

ShareFest is Coming:  Put your faith into action on May 16th and share God’s love.  Experience the JOY of ShareFest.  We need (1) your ideas for community service work and (2) your help as volunteers.  Submit your ideas and commitments this weekend to make Sharefest in Terryville an overwhelming success.  (The paperwork is available at the main entrance of the Church.)  Feel free to call me with your questions.  Thanks in advance for your help, Mike Drozdick 584-8953

 

 

 

Do you have a relative or loved one who is in a hospital, a nursing home or is home bound?  Would they like to receive our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament (Communion) from an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist or a visit from a Legion of Mary member?  We are willing and eager to assist those who desire comfort at stressful times.

Please call or e-mail the rectory with your request.    583-4697 or immclte.cncptn.chrch@snet.net
