FOOD PANTRY
The items requested for the month of February are
detergent, toothpaste, and soup. Please leave your
donations in the back of church.
Thank you
The books of the law of Moses, clearly describe the
unique relationship of the lawgiver with God. Ascending
and descending the mountain with the tablets of the law
in his hand, he led God’s people then, making the
covenant between the Lord and His people.
Prophets were called to speak in behalf of God,
reminding them of their unique relationship with the Lord
and chastising them for their infidelity in observing it.
They, like Jesus, spoke with authority.
Our world today needs to listen to prophetic voices,
calling us from complacency to renewal and greater
awareness of our covenant relationship with God. Pope
Francis, Pope Benedict, and other witnesses fill that role
for us. Called by the Lord, inspired by the Spirit, their
words and witness bring us back to oneness with God.
Writings like the ‘Light of Faith’ and ‘Joy of the Gospel’
are texts directed to all believers.
Please Remember Our Parish in Your Will. By remembering
our parish in your will, you can help us continue the good work
in the Lord’s name. Remember, God is never outdone in
generosity to each and every one of us. Thank you and God
bless you.

"I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who
have supported the ministry of One Heart for Haiti, with
both donations and prayers...Both are important, you
know. I want to especially thank three parishioners
among so many others, who have gone out of their ways
to make our work successful... Ellen Corbiere
coordinated our beefsteak dinner in October, Ofie Blewitt
coordinated our classical concert at Holy Spirit in
January (which by the way, was outstanding) and Lisa
Siebel is currently coordinating our fish and chips dinner
for March 6th.. We've tried to offer "some bang for your
buck", I know things are tight economically, but giving is
less painful when we've having fun doing it… Thank you
again, all.
