Mark your calendars! On October 6-9, Fr. Bill Rhinehart, C.M., will be in Newcastle to lead a parish mission. Fr. Rhinehart belongs to the Congregation of the Mission, or Vincentians, an order specializing in providing missions to parishes. A mission is simply a time of special grace when God calls us into a deeper relationship with him, a time for personal growth, a time to listen to God, and a time of spiritual refreshment and invigoration. Practically, Fr. Rhinehart will celebrate mass every evening, and in the midst of the mass he will give a special homily intended to increase our spirituality. A social will follow in the parish hall to allow us to spend time with Fr. Rhinehart and each other. Additionally, Fr. Rhinehart will be available each day for individual meetings. This mission is open to everyone, and you are invited to every evening or any evening you are available!
