The Missionaries of the Precious Blood On August 15, 2015, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood (C.PP.S.) will celebrate the 200th anniversary of their founding. Their
members minister in our St. Augustine parish. Over the course of the next year, we
will join in their celebration by sharing the story of the C.PP.S., and learning about
their spirituality and mission. ***************************************************************************
Did you know???
St. Gaspar, the founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, was ordained in 1808, at the age of 22. While studying for the
priesthood, he visited the sick and the poor, often stopping at a bakery first to buy a sweet treat to share with them. He offered
constant encouragement to others, and founded a young persons’ religious organization, whose members prayed and did charitable
work together. He had the gift, said one of his biographers, Amilcar Rey, of multiplying time, “of forcing his day to expand to include everything his busy mind could imagine.” Can we imagine new ways of serving God and his people, especially those most in
need of our care?

Palms for Ashes Please place your palms from last Palm Sunday in the basket next to the baptismal font. Fr. Don will use them to make ashes for Ash
Wednesday. Please cut them into small pieces. Thank you!
