5th Sunday Breakfast

From Fr. Dan and the OLV staff

An Act of Kindness

The neighbor of a four-year-old child was an

elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his

wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old man's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little

boy just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Appeal

Right now, over 40 percent of the dioceses in the US are considered home missions because they are unable to fund

essential pastoral work needed in their communities. Your support of this appeal helps ease the struggle of these dioceses.

Please prayerfully consider how you can

support this appeal. More info found at
