Mission Cooperation Sunday is on June 5th & 6th in 2021.  Normally, a missionary comes to visit the parish and speak during homily time at mass.  Because of Covid-19 restrictions this year, there will be no in person talks. Instead, we have asked our mission group, the Salesian Missionaries, to submit a written appeal that will be read at all parish masses. This mission group has been hit very hard by the Covid-19 virus and that has made it very difficult to evangelize and get medical treatment for its people.  The evangelization of the people of the diocese is minimal at this time.  Caring for the basic needs of the people the mission group must supply them with food and other essentials.  Most of all the people need your prayers and financial support. Please realize that while the appeal is not in person the need is greater than ever.  The poor have been hit especially hard by the pandemic. So now more than ever be as generous as possible.  Thank you.
