REVERSE MISSION 2011
Reverse Mission 2011
A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of welcoming home a dear friend, Sr. Joan Williams. Years ago she shared her musical talents and leadership with us planting the seeds of a wonderful music ministry program. We had the opportunity to hear about Sr. Joan’s ministry with the people of Honduras and were invited to share in that ministry. I want to thank you for your hospitality to her and generosity in supporting the missionary work of the Dominican sisters.
Recently, I have been in communication with Fr. Steve Dudek about jointly leading a Reverse Mission experience to Oaxaca, Mexico. As many of you know he has lead many on profound experiences of mission to parishes in Oaxaca in the past and would like to combine his next one with our sister parish of San Andres Chicahuaxtla. I look at this as a wonderful opportunity to reestablish communication with the parishioners of San Andres and to join with other people of our diocese on a Reverse Mission experience.
I would like to invite you to consider participating in this trip. The dates of the trip will be February 14–24. The cost will be between $1000 and $1100. Since we will be going with others in the diocese, space is limited so I will need to know your interest very soon. Please do so by sharing with me in writing why you are interested by September 15. Please mail or email it to the parish office.
I will keep more information posted in the bulletin and the parish website in the weeks ahead.
Peace,
Fr. Charlie
