BISHOP ZUBIK INVITES ALL TO SPECIAL MASS on Thursday, August 5 at 5 PM at
St. Paul Cathedral in anticipation of the beatification of 19TH century Roman Catholic philosopher Cardinal John Henry Newman
(1801-1890). Homilist for this Mass is Jack Sullivan, the man who was healed through Cardinal Newman's intercession. Cardinal
Newman is one of the most renowned converts to Catholicism and his teachings became the foundation for many changes that took
place in the Church post-Vatican II.

Pastoral Council Completes Pastoral Plan

This information is also posted in the church and will remain there for several weeks. Please take the time to review this
important information so that you can become familiar with the work of the Council and what it proposes to do over the next

What the Men’s Group is NOT!!
Several men when either approached to join and/or have considered it have drawn conclusion
with many pre conceived notions. So to set the record straight here is what the Men’s Fellowship is NOT!!
• It is NOT a Bible Study Group • It
is NOT solely devoted to prayer • It is NOT focused on any particular
issue • It is NOT structured with formal commitments and responsibilities
