All are invited to Father Bateman's Farewell
party, Sunday, June 14 from 2-4pm at the FO Eagle Club in Burnham.
We are expecting a large crowd, more than the capacity of the facility.
We will have a presentation for Fr Bateman at 3pm. We ask
that some come to eat at 2pm and stay until just after the presentation
and others come around 3pm for the presentation and then stay
to eat. This way, we can more easily accommodate everyone and Fr
Bateman will have a chance to spend a moment with everyone. Your
cooperation will be greatly appreciated
As
the parish office prepares for Father Bateman's transfer, he
email account has been deactivated. Please address any correspondance
to Fr. Weary or Marie Bender (frweary OR mbender @sacredheartlewistown.com)
We
are the Catholic community
in Mifflin
County, a reflection of God's love for the world. We support
each other by reaching out to those in need, fostering the beliefs and Tradition of
the Universal
Church, and educating
our youth in knowledge and faith. We live our faith through
Word and Sacrament,
prayer and action, commitment
of time and talent, tithing, and using our resources to honor
Christ and respect all
human life. By doing so, we strive to bring all people into Jesus'
Sacred Heart, uniting us by living the life He exemplified.
Praise
be Jesus Christ! I am so happy to be here with you at Sacred
Heart of Jesus Church. I have just taken office and am looking
forward to meeting all of you, as we work together to radiate
Christ's light to out world. Priorities right now? Unpacking,
of course, plus acquiring web site and other computer skills,
along
with
simply being available to you, the good people of this faith
community.
See you in church and may God bless you all!
