Annual Mission Appeal
Please join us in welcoming Fr. Willy Ollevier, CICM, a Missionhurst-CICM (the congregation of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary) missionary who will be visiting St. Mary’s next weekend, July 6th
and 7th, to present a mission appeal. Fr. Willy is from the foreign mission of Taiwan and will be
sharing his life and dedication to the people he serves with us.
Missionhurst-CICM was originally founded in 1862 for the conversion of China. Today,
Missionhurst-CICM serves in some of the most remote places of Mongolia, Indonesia, Africa,
Asia, and Latin America. Unlike some relief organizations that come only when there is a newsmaking
crisis, Missionhurst-CICM missionaries come prepared to stay, living among the people, sharing in their
privations, and participating in the day-to-day effort needed to achieve life-long spiritual and material changes. In
response to the people’s most urgent need, Missionhurst-CICM missionaries may start a new farming project, build a
new chapel or school, or lay clean water supply lines.
Fr. Willy will be preaching at all the Masses and a second collection will be taken with the proceeds going to
Missionhurst-CICM. Please be generous.

Lighthouse Catholic Media CD of the Week: Unlocking the Book of Revelation
Dr. Michael Barber, host for Reasons for Faith Live on EWTN, is Professor of Theology and
Scripture at John Paul the Great Catholic University. In this exciting presentation, he reveals
the deep treasures hidden in the Apocalypse, demonstrating the practical implications for
living in today’s modern world. When is Jesus coming? Listen and discover the surprising
truth!
Parishioner Comments:
“It literally blew me away! This CD on the Book of Revelation is so rich in detail and Old Testament understanding!”
“Excellent! I think all Christians need to hear and study this message. It should be widely distributed!”
“The Book of Revelation is notoriously opaque and diffi cult to understand, but Mr. Barber makes it very clear, and his speaking
style is engaging. What I liked most is that, like Dr. Scott Hahn, his mentor, he ties it into the Catholic liturgy.”
This CD and others are available in the Lighthouse Catholic Media kiosk located in the south vestibule of the Church.
