PRAYER CORNER
Parish Office Summer Hours The Parish Office has begun our Summer Office Hours. Summer hours are: Monday-Thursday 8:00am to 4:30pm (closed Noon-1:00pm) and Friday 8:00am to Noon.
Christians Encounter Christ (CEC) Christians Encounter Christ (CEC) is both a personal and communal encounter with Christ through the Holy Spirit which leads to a lifelong relationship with God by living a method of ongoing spiritual growth and evangelization for our Catholic faith. As Pope John Paul II reminded us, we are to be leaders for Christ who share God’s love with everyone whose lives we touch. On the weekend you will join others in song, prayer, and discussion. The discussion is centered on talks given by laity and clergy which help you to know, love and to serve God. The retreat starts on Friday evening and goes until Sunday evening. This is a joyous opportunity for you to allow Jesus to work into your life, experience Him in your lives and to keep Him in your life. The weekend is an all-inclusive cost of $80 which is held at the Archdiocesan Re-treat and Conference Center (60th & Military). For more in-formation, please call Phil & Sue Franco at 402-556-9290 or visit the website at www.cecomaha.org.

That Man is You! That Man Is You will meet at 6 a.m. on Saturday mornings in the STM cafeteria throughout the summer. The DVD series "The Bible and the Sacraments" will be the focus of the Sat-urday morning meetings. The series investigates the deeper mystery of the sacraments as illuminated by Sacred Scrip-ture. Examining the rich relationship between the Old and New Testaments, it reveals the sacraments as more than mere earthly rituals. They are incredible “‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116). Please join us. If you have any questions, please contact Jerry Hassett at 402-650-0360 or [email protected].
