General Announcements 

Two-night St. Maurice Parish mission features Catholic actor Frank Runyeon

A parish mission featuring Catholic actor Frank Runyeon will be held at St. Maurice Church, 8477 N. Harrison St., in Napoleon, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 25-26.

Runyeon will give dramatic presentations of stories from St. Luke’s Gospel on Sunday night. On Monday night, Runyeon will take a humorous but also deeply challenging look at the story we are actually living, the struggles we face daily as Americans to live lives of real joy in the middle of a media-centered culture.

Runyeon starred for seven years as Steve Andropoulos on “As the World Turns.” He appeared for four years as Father Michael Donnelly on the Emmy award-winning “Santa Barbara,” and as tycoon Simon Romero on “General Hospital.” He has also guest starred on many television shows, in movies, on stage and on radio.

At one point, Runyeon considered becoming a priest. He has a bachelor’s degree in religion from Princeton University and a master’s degree from Yale Divinity School and General Theological Seminary. He now travels giving talks and parish missions.

There is no charge for the mission, although freewill donations will be accepted.

For more information, call 812-498-7512 or e-mail hustedlaurie@gmail.com.
