action, support those who are

called to service as priests and

religious? (Mark 9:38-43)

The Sanctuary Lamp signals the Presence of the Lord

Jesus in the Tabernacle and burns for seven days. We

invite you to have the Sanctuary Lamp memorialized in

the name of a sick person, a deceased loved one, or a

special intention for a weekly donation of $20.00.

Please contact the office to arrange a memorial for the

Sanctuary Lamp.

stewardship: Our

collection last weekend was

$1472.50. Thank you for your

offerings in support of our

parish as a place of Christian

worship, instruction and

mission.

“Anyone who gives you a cup of

water to drink because you

belong to Christ, amen, I say to

you, will surely not lose his

reward.” (Mark 9:41)

Does your life reflect the life of

Jesus? Remember, we were

made in His image. We tend to

forget this. When others see

you, do they see the face of

Jesus? When you look at others,

do you see the face of Jesus in

them?

Step Two: Look into Your Life

Question for Children: In what specific ways do you share with the poor from what you have been given?

Question for Youth: Who are the people you have met who are against you? Are there people who
