Please join us in welcoming Daru Pancoro, a Missionhurst – CICM (the congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary) missionary who will be visiting our parish the weekend of August 17-18 to present a mission appeal. Fr. Daru is from the foreign mission of Indonesia and will be sharing with us his life and dedication to the people he serves.

Missionhurst – CICM was originally founded in 1862 for the conversion of China. Today, Missionhurst – CICM serves in some of the most remote places of Mongolia, Indonesia, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Unlike some relief organizations that come only when there is a news-making crisis, Missionhurst – CICM missionaries come prepared to stay, living among the people, sharing in their privations, and participating in the day-to-day effort needed to achieve life-long spiritual and material changes. In response to the people’s most urgent need, Missionhurst – CICM missionaries may start a new farming project, build a new chapel or school or lay clean water supply lines. Fr. Daru will be preaching at all the Masses and a second collection will be taken with proceeds going to Missionhurst – CICM. Please help us welcome Fr. Daru on the weekend of August 17th& 18th.
