Dear Lovers,

We wanted to let everyone know that our M.E. brother, Ben Tured, passed away on this past Monday. He was with his wife Mercy and family in Yap at the time.

There will be a memorial mass for Ben on Tuesday, September 27, at Kristo Rai Parish Church in Garapan. It will start at 6PM. Please all be there with your family, if you can. Our Marriage Encounter family is organizing the mass details.

Lovers, we also we lost another Encountered brother recently. It was Bill Kintz. Let's also pray for his the repose of his soul and for the comfort of his widow Virginia.

With much Love,

Vince & Hilma and Father Ike

We ask our all M.E. couples to join the community celebrate this special occasion of our local area M.E. Ecclesial Priest, Father Isaac Ayuyu's 25th Years of priesthood.

The Luncheon will be held at the Pacific Islands Club on Saturday, September 3. Reply to this email or call Vince at 287-8089 or Hilma at 789-7881 for Luncheon tickets ($40 per head).
