VOCATION AWARENESS

Jesus said, “As the Father loves me, so I also love you” and “This I command you: love one another.” (John 15) It’s the ultimate love story. Jesus also says in this way his joy will be in us and our joy will be complete. This love applies to any way of life we are called to follow: married life, single life, ordained or religious life. Each requires us to love one another as God loves us. Let us pray that each of us accepts God’s invitation to find our complete joy.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteering at Free Clothing helps to get donations from generous community members into the hands of hundreds of families who need them. Please call 252-0038 for more information and to sign up to help!

INACTIVE CATHOLICS

Who are they: Today, more than 20,000,000 baptized Catholics in he United States are no longer active in the life of the Catholic Church. The Gallup Organization (2005) reports that about 1/4 of Catholics interviewed do not actively participate in a parish. The magnitude of this number is more apparent when we realize that inactive Catholics make up the second largest "denomination" in the US. Nevertheless, they remain our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Almost every Catholic who participates in a parish knows at least one person who is an inactive Catholic. They are family members, relatives, co-workers, and friends. Yet for a number of reasons, we are generally reluctant to talk to them about faith. By extending an invitation, we act in love and help them feel welcome. Through our caring and attentive presence, people will experience God's own abundant love for them.

USED CLOTHING DROP-OFF BOX

It is that time of year when we put away our winter clothes and dig out the summer clothes. As you empty drawers and closets, please consider donating those gently worn items to the St. Pauly Box at Sacred Heart or Saint Ann's. Those items you no longer want to wear can be used to help those in need here in the USA and in 3rd World Countries.

All clothing, shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, blankets, sheets, pillowcases and drapes are accepted. Please put items in tied plastic bags. (10/10)
