St. William Parish in Durant recently dedicated a new parish hall as reported in the April issue of the EOC. While the building is finished, furnishings and appliances are still needed so, money raised from their popular annual Calf Fry fundraiser held on April 7 is earmarked for those purchases. At that event, one special item was put up for an extended auction.

We are delighted to announce we will be hosting Sr. Mary Madeline, O.P., Sr. Mary Johanna, O.P., and Sr. John Mary, O.P., of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia for the 2019 Catechetical Conference! The theme of the Conference is "Friendship in Christ: I have called you friends" (John 15:15:). Sr. Mary Madeline will be our English keynote, Sr. Mary Johanna (Hermana María Johanna) will be our Spanish keynote, and Sr. John Mary will be leading sessions of Catholic education.
