The People of St. Roch invite all residents of our Skinker-DeBaliviere Community to come for a renewal of your faith and to stir you with prayer and song to a better life in the spirit of Christ and a dedication to His work in our world. To light up the Church as Christ left the world. to go to His Father; to inflame the apostles in their love for Him; to stir them to put their lives on the line for His teachings, Christ sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
We need another Pentecost. We need the freshness and dedication of the early Christians. It is our hope and prayer that the various speakers and ceremonies at the YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER seminar outlined below will bring this about.
Among the priests who will participate are: Rev. Luke Rigby, O.S.M., Prior of St. Louis Priory; Rev. Bernard Nienhaus, Prof. of Theology, Kenrick Seminary; Rev. Donald Reck, S.J., Prof. of Theology, St. Louis Univ.; Msgr. Robert Peet and Rev. Jack Fleming of St. Roch will open and close the prayers at each session. Among the witnesses will be Fr. Ed Griesedieck, Pastor of St. Mark’s and Fr. Frank Krebs of Sts. Peter and Paul. Sisters Sharon Ann and Philip Marie will conduct each of the eight Wednesday evening sessions.
Place: St. Roch’s Church.
Dates: Eight Wednesdays, September 6 thru October 25.
Time: 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Please come and give of yourself for Christ and His teachings, to dedicate yourself to His way of life; to unite with your neighbors in the large effort to change our world back to Christ and His teachings.
