Parishes welcome mission priest on August 31, September 1
By our baptism, we are all called to be disciples and evangelists. Each year at this time, a mission priest reminds us that, through our prayerful support and financial resources, we can ensure the message of Jesus Christ is carried to nations filled with conflict.
At all Masses on August 31 and September 1, 2024, Father Clifford Hasler, MS, will share the mission efforts around the world of the Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette.The Missionaries of La Salette minister to people of every race, language, culture, and way of life – beginning at the La Salette Shrine in France where our Blessed Mother appeared in 1846. Her final words, “Well, my children, you will make this known to all my people,” echo Jesus’ Gospel mandate.
When the Missionaries were called upon by the Vatican to preach the Gospel in foreign lands, they eagerly responded. This spirit brought them to 27 countries, especially among the poor in Angola, Argentina, Bolivia, Haiti, India, Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Philippines, and the most recent addition, Ukraine.
With your prayerful and financial assistance, the Missionaries of La Salette can continue to provide spiritual and financial help to these mission countries as they bring God’s reconciling message to the poor.
