Parish and Parish Supported Ministries Please connue to read this page as we provide informaon, resources, new ideas and ways of keeping our ministries acve! Heart of Mary - ‘Uninvited - a Virtual Book Study’ Think of a situaon when you had a choice to walk into it full of Christ, living loved and looking for ways to bless others, or to walk in looking for others to bless you in your empness. What choice did you make? What were the results? What would you do differently, next me, if anything? Don’t be hard on yourself if you tend to enter situaons burdened by your own empness. There is hope! You really can change your habit in this area. This week’s statement to hold onto is “I can choose to bring my empness or God’s fullness into any situaon I face.” How can you know that God’s fullness is already available to you? Read Ephesians 3:14-19 Paul prays that you will be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit in your inner being. What will that accomplish? And why is this important? Divine Mercy Study Group: The Divine Mercy Cenacle study group will resume their Wednesday night meengs online through a Google pla6orm.

During this me of COVID-19 pandemic many of us and our chil- dren are spending much more me on social media. On January 24, 2020 (the Feast Day of St. St. Francis de Sales, patron saint of journalists) Pope Francis released a mes- sage about "fake news" which points out that anything that tells only half truths, uses innuendo to tear down people or instuons, clouds or sugar coats a situaon or offers false promises is actually “fake news”. But he also pointed out that social media along with older forms of print media can be used to inform about truth and pro- mote it. St. Francis de Sales had been named as the pa- tron saint of writers and journalists in 1923. We are en- couraged to consider the proper use of all types of media on World Communicaons Day which will be celebrated Sunday, May 24 at the Vacan and in most dioceses around the world. Shirley Ann 226 661 0164 St. Joseph’s - It’s hard to believe that we have been unable to gather at Mass for 12 weeks!
