“It’s the most wonderful time of the year9.”

These are the words of a very joyous and popular Christmas song. Some parents feel a similar joy at this time of year as students of all ages return to school. For some people who have difficulty finding a break in life, joy is most fleeting. Catholic

Charities helps people in all circumstances find hope which leads to joy. Please help us to bring hope by contributing the following to the donations bin: used clothing, small appliances, shoes, linens, sheets, towels, stuffed animals, novels and children’s books. Thank you.

We appreciate all OLMC parishioners who volunteered on August 11 at The Vincent Methodist Church Care Kitchen. It was a great turnout and we plan on doing it again in October. Details to follow.

Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal

This year’s Appeal, Sharing God’s Blessings, is a perfect opportunity for us to reflect on God’s generosity to us and to share the blessings we have been given with those around us. This year, our parish goal is:

Parish Goal 201Parish Goal 201Parish Goal 201Parish Goal 2018888: : : : $2$2$2$28888,8,8,8,815151515

We are often reminded by our Holy Father Pope Francis and Sacred Scripture that in order to love one another we must share the blessings which God has provided to us.

We are called to similarly share what is granted to us by God and return it to Him so that not one of our brothers and sisters goes without: without the gift of faith; without the essential human needs; and without a personal relationship with Our Lord. We are called to Share God’s Blessings, and when we do, we find freedom and joy in proclaiming the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, as the Apostles did over 2,000 years ago!

Will you join your brothers and sisters in Sharing God’s Blessings? May God bless you for your generosity!
