The members of Ministry of Assistance extend their thanks
and appreciation to the PSR students, their families, teach-
ers, and support staff, for food items they donated to our
pantry during the past school year. Their efforts helped to
keep our pantry stocked each month as these children pro-
vided basic food supplies for those in our community who
are in need. The spirit with which these items were given
shows the compassion for those less fortunate in our com-
munity and puts into practice the words of Jesus “to feed
the hungry.”

Pastor’s Notes
Recently, I received a sad letter from an older person, a relative-
ly new member of Holy Martyrs, who described a long illness
that kept her homebound for a year, and the physical challenges
she faced during that time.
What made it so sad for all who minister to the homebound in
our parish is that, during that year, she never told anyone at our
church about her illness. She had gone for a year without the
consolation of the sacraments or regular home visits because her
situation remained unknown to us.
Regularly in our bulletin, a notice reminds parishioners and their
families and friends to let us know when someone is home-
bound, is going to be hospitalized, or is in a nursing home. Even
if they are incapacitated for only a short time, pastoral visits
from our parish can be an important part of their care. Our par-
ish staff and Eucharistic ministers are eager to visit, to offer our
prayers and support as part of their ongoing care. But we need to
know when someone is ill.
The pastoral care of the sick is a central part of Catholic beliefs
and practices. It is one of the ways Jesus reached out to others
and it is a fundamental part of the ministry of the Church today.
One of the most serious responsibilities of family members and
friends during a time of illness is to inform the parish when
someone is ill or incapacitated. It is the only way we can know,
and it is essential so we can respond. Sometimes, people simply
assume the parish staff knows about someone’s illness, but un-
less we hear about it firsthand, we are not able to respond or pro-
vide the care they need and deserve.
Every member of our parish should take this responsibility seri-
ously. As soon as someone you know is not able to come to
church because of illness or incapacity, the parish should be
notified so we can respond and provide timely, meaningful pas-
toral care.
Also, if you or a loved one is going into the hospital or having a
procedure, we encourage you to receive the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick before you go. This sacrament is a power-
ful prayer for health and healing. Hundreds of our parishioners
have received this sacrament in the chapel before or after Mass
or in their home. It is a meaningful way to celebrate God’s pres-
ence when we need that presence the most. Simply let me or a
member of our staff know.
Please keep this in mind. You are an essential part of our
parish’s outreach and care.
God’s Blessings,
Father Steve
