Natchez High graduation

Natchez High School’s graduation has been relocated to the Natchez Convention Center because of the forecast rain.

The ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Because of limited space, an admission ticket will be required.

Six admission tickets will be provided to each graduating student.

Employees of the Natchez-Adams School District may attend, but must have their school identification cards to be admitted.

Only one attendee or employee will be admitted per ticket and per identification card.

Ultimate Caregiver

Residents interested in participating in an eight-week Caregiver’s Support Group book study using, “The Ultimate Caregiver: Words from the Cross to the Caregiver’s Heart,” by Bob Willis in their congregation, health care setting or community are invited to attend a training meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. today at St. Mary Basilica in Therese Hall, which is located in the lower level of the church.

Willis is an ordained Baptist minister and will sculpt as he gives the presentation.

In “The Ultimate Caregiver,” Willis examines the final words of Jesus Christ from the cross. Applicable to modern day caregivers and their loved ones, His words relate to forgiveness, faith, providing for family, abandonment, the agony of suffering, the completion of a life purpose and placing total trust in the heavenly Father.

A light supper will be served.

Books will be available for $10 each.

The event is free and open to the public.

For more information or to register, call St. Mary Basilica at 601-445-5616.
