fontana.jpgA Mass and healing service with Father Glenn Fontana will be held at St. Agnes Church in Springfield on Friday, June 6, beginning at 5:30 p.m. People who have experienced physical, mental, emotional, psychological or spiritual pain in their lives and suffer from those wounds are encouraged to attend the service. "You Must Forgive: God's Path to Healing" is the theme of the Mass and Healing Service.

The evening will flow from Mass to the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, a chaplet of Divine Mercy, rosary, individual healing, Benediction and reconciliation. The Mass and healing service is open to everyone. A free will offering will be taken up during Mass.

Father Fontana is a Peoria diocesan priest who has been involved for a number of years in a healing ministry called Mary's Helpers (www.maryshelpersinc.com). He has permission from Bishop Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, of Peoria, to conduct healing services as his full-time ministry.

Father Bob Jallas, St. Agnes pastor, who will concelebrate Mass with Father Fontana, said Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Decatur has held several healing services with Father Fontana.
