February, 2011

  Fr. Eugene Schmitt:

On February 26th we will celebrating an exciting event in our two
parishes.  Jesse Manibusan, a Catholic motivational speaker and
singer, will be at St.Celestine Church to celebrate community and
family along with thanking all those who helped with the clean-up
efforts of the tornados a year ago.  We are very fortunate to have
someone of Jesse's talent to come to our area.  Jesse is one of the
top Catholic speakers in our country and has very uplifting and a
positive message about life and faith.  He was in the area  several
years ago at a Jasper Deanery tailgate gathering and made quite
an impression on the youth and adults there.  The Adult Faith
Formation team will have a Chili Supper (free will offering) from
4 to 5:30pm before Mass which will start at 6pm followed by
Jesse performing from 7 to 9pm.  If you want to learn more about
Jesse, you can look at his website at www.jessemanibusan.com
