The Spirit of the Lord has been given to us
for He has anointed us.
He has sent us to bring the good news
to the poor,
To proclaim liberty to captives
and to the blind new sight,
To set the downtrodden free,
to proclaim the Lord’s year of favor.
Isaiah 61:1-2

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS
Moses told the people, “A prophet like me
will the Lord, your God, raise up for you
from among your own kinsmen.” God still
provides among His people the gifts and
talents necessary to continue the work of
His Church. What gifts are yours to
share?
FOOD PANTRY NEEDS
We are in need of Breakfast Foods for our
Pantry. The following items would be
appreciated: oatmeal, syrup, pancake
mix, jelly, coffee, tea, powdered milk
or shelf milk. Please remember our
poor when you can by bringing your
donations to the doors of the church.
Thank you for your on-going generosity.

WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES
January Theme:
The Meaning of Human Sexuality
The tangible, earthly, corporeal world is more than
inert matter or modeling clay for the human will.
Creation is sacred. It has sacramental meaning. It
reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our
sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in
the dignity of being created in the image of God.
We need to live accordingly.
