would like to receive a printed copy of the Newsletter via US Postal service we would
appreciate a donation of $15.00 to cover the years mailing. The email News letter is
sent as an MS WORD Document attachment and can be opened safely.
Mission Update for the beginning of our 4th year
I want to begin by thanking all of you for your support and prayers for this ministry that God has called me too.
As we enter the fourth year of the founding of Mission Saints Sergius and Bacchus I am happy to report that our
mission appears to be growing every day all around the globe. At the present time more than 600 persons receive
our monthly news letter either as an attachment to an email or by postal mail each month. Because of the increases
in Postal Rates it has been necessary for us to ask those who desire to receive the newsletter by postal mail that they
send a request to that effect along with $5.50 (Five dollars and fifty cents) to cover the mailing costs.
Every week the reflections on the readings of Scripture are reaching more than 3000 people all over the globe either
by direct email to them or by the postings on Christian group pages or sites like HI5, MY CHURCH, FACEBOOK
AND the Mission 360 Blog and Yahoo group blogs and MSN pages.
The mission has affiliated with the RCCI (Reformed Catholic Church International) which has expanded our
outreach in the New England Area and beyond and on May 17th I and the Franciscans of Divine Mercy were
officially incardinated into the RCCI.
In January we received a very generous donation to obtain a car which has allowed us to resume hospital visits and
to attend local clergy meetings, celebrate liturgies at the Veterans Rehab house in New Bedford Mass. As well as the
Taunton State Hospital and some Catholic faith communities in surrounding towns as well as resuming home visits
to shut-ins and nursing homes. Unfortunately it broke down on July 3rd and cost $748.00 to repair.
Our web site has had over 5856 visitors; the Yahoo 360 Blog receives an average of 90 hits a day.
On May 10th our mission had an information booth at the New England Youth Pride event on The Boston
Common which was very well received and most gratifying since many of the young people thanked me for being
there and some came over to give me a hug.
The mission also had an information booth at the Boston Pride Festival on June 14th on Boston City Hall which
attracted hundreds and added to our email list by more than 50 people.
We have performed one wedding, 3 funerals and 1 Baptism and have had one convert to the Catholic Faith and will
be performing a Holy Union in October.
As of the Feast of Divine Mercy, March 30th, We became a ministry mission of the FRANCISCANS OF THE
DIVINE MERCY AND LOVE OF GOD or OFD with Fr. Robert Johnnene as the Father General.
We also became incardinated into The Reformed Catholic Church International which upholds the basic truths of
the Church while disputing all the man made regulations that have nothing to do with giving glory, honor and
praise to almighty God or participating as full members of The Mystical Body of Christ, the Church, and partaking
of all the sacraments.
There is much more that we could and desire to do in furthering the message of the infinite and everlasting love of
God for ALL his children and to reach out to all who are hurting especially the poor, sick, needy, and aged and with
God’s help we will have the resources to achieve these goals as well as obtain a permanent location for a chapel and
office in order to offer liturgies and the services that meet the needs of God’s children.
I ask you to continue to offer prayers for the success of the mission and especially prayers that Almighty God will
continue to guide me and sustain me with the necessary health and strength needed to serve Him well.
May Almighty God bless you and keep you safely in the palm of His hand.
Fr. Bob
Please consider giving a donation to the mission no matter how small, If all who receive our messages were to
contribute $1.00 a week or $52.00 a month to assist us in spreading the message of God’s infinite and everlasting
love for ALL His children we would be able to eliminate our shortfall and also be able to obtain a suitable space for
a chapel and office.
