Small Church, Big Mission
January 17, 2026 All day
Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Pass Christian is a small but high energy, spirit filled Catholic Church. It has been serving the community of Pass Christian for over 114 years. Under the direction of Pastor Fr. Rofinas Jas, the church offers a variety of programs to enhance the Catholic presence on the Gulf Coast but is now embarking on an international effort.
Our Mother of Mercy is supporting a Catholic Church being built in Indonesia, his home country. 87% of the population of Indonesia is Muslim, so the Catholic presence is extremely important. The Church is moving forward, and construction has begun in earnest. In order continue bringing the Catholic presence to this country, Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church adopted the Catholic Church, Saint Catherine’s, as it’s sister Church.
In order to keep funding for this project moving forward, Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church is sponsoring a “Drawdown raffle”, with ALL the proceeds being contributed to the construction of Saint Catherine’s Catholic Church. In order to get a drawdown ticket, please contact Gail Barnes, at Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church, at (228)234-5294. Thanks you in advance for your prayers and generosity. The drawing will be held January 17, 2026.
