Announcements BISHOP BRAXTON MEETING WITH PARISH LEADERS - St. Patrick, Cairo,

St. Rose of Lima Metropolis. On Saturday July 22, 2017, the Parish Administrator, the

Parish Leaders of our 2 Partnership Parishes met with Bishop E. Braxton in Belleville, to review the parishes progress being made in implementing the Diocesan Pastoral Plan of

Parish Renewal and Reconstruction. The Bishop emphasized that we encourage the

parishioners understand that with the current trend of fewer priests and fewer numbers of

church attendants in some parishes, there is need for parishioners to have more active

involvement of Ecclesial Lay Ministries to help growth of our Churches. Talk with these par-

ish leaders for more details. The Pastor will also explain more details during the next several weekend Masses. God says - I will bless you and multiply you - Hebrews 6:14.

GOD BLESS BELLEVILLE DIOCESE - Amen
