FYI

     As I mentioned in a previous post, two Sisters of Mary Immaculate - Sisters Gratia and Ann - visited our parish last Sunday for a Mission Appeal.  They spoke of their Order which is based out of India, but ministers many places, including a House in Leechburg in our diocese.

     They mentioned that their founder, Bishop Louis LaRaviore Morrow (1892 - 1987), a native of Texas and bishop of Krishnagar, West Bengal, India for thirty years, was a great communicator of the Faith.  They brought me a sample of his works, and I thought I might pass this info on to you.  They say that the books are good, and some geared toward children make great gifts.

     Bishop Morrow (who was a good friend of our own late Bishop Connare) wrote a catechism entitled OUR CATHOLIC FAITH, written in an easy to read question and answer format in a hard back edition that is reasonably priced.
     He also wrote a booklet of 116 pages entitled MY FIRST HOLY COMMUNION and a 48 page booklet entitled MY JESUS AND I.

     If interested in more information, you can contact the Sisters of Mary Immaculate at OUR MISSION HOUSE, 118 Park Road, Leechburg, PA 15656.  There is also a website at www.omhsmi.org and an email address at omhsmi@gmail.com.  The Sisters would be most grateful for your interest.  And I thank the Sisters for these additions to our parish library.
