Parish Mission Week
Aug 8th-14th

Beginning Aug 8th our parish will experience an intense week of prayer, inspirational talks, music and fellowship as we come together for a Parish Mission.
You will not want to miss this! There are many different activities scheduled
throughout the week for all ages
What is a “Parish Mission”?
A parish mission is a week consecrated and set aside to draw near to the Lord through repentance, prayer and study both at the church and at home.
How can you help make this mission a success?
• Pray and fast for our parish and for the success of this mission!
• Make a commitment to be at as many of these mission events as possible!
• Bring friends – they will not be disappointed!
• Reach out and invite others who need a spiritual re-awakening!
• Call the Parish Office if you can volunteer to help with hospitality, fellowship, or childcare.

Who will be presenting this Mission?
Brendan Case is a Catholic lay-missionary who has been traveling the US since 1996 presenting
powerful, life-changing retreats where the presence of God is so rich that the hardest hearts are
softened as God’s power moves through His people. As a strong, dynamic, and insightful teacher of the Word of God, Brendan has produced over 120 teaching tapes and study guides to feed Catholics who are hungry to understand the Bible. At Parish Retreats, nights of renewal, and prayer groups, Brendan, with guitar in hand, leads believers into the presence of God, releasing a greater in-filling of the Holy Spirit, Prophetic word, and both spiritual and physical healings. Brendan, a husband and father of five relates the story of how 10 years ago, when this ministry started, God asked Him to give away all that he possessed promising “If you take care of my house, I will take care of yours.” Brendan adamantly states, “No one can argue with me if God is real. It’s simple; if God is not real my kids won’t eat today. I know He’s real and that He’s my Father!” When asked what he hopes and prays for people who attend the mission, Brendan replied, “Do I have faith that people will be healed at the missions? Yes, and they will. Do I pray that struggling marriages will be restored at the missions? Yes, and they will. Do I believe that broken hearts will be mended at the missions? Yes, and they will. But, above all, I pray that every single soul comes to know that they have a Father in heaven who loves them and wants to help them live the most fulfilling life. This is my heart’s desire!"
