    News from Foster Care Support Ministry

    This new ministry, which hopes to offer an array of supportive mentoring relationships, donations,

    services and mechanisms for Foster Parents in the north-east valley, began with a Come and See

    breakfast on March 23rd. What a joy to see quite a strong number of parishioners there to see how

    they could help!

    That morning also saw Marie Cancella take on her new role as Leader of the ministry, supported by

    teammate Anne Johnson. Please feel free to offer our new ministry team leaders Marie and Anne

    your congratulations at [email protected] (for Anne) at [email protected].

    Congratulations to our own Kris and Joe Jacober! Being foster care advocates formany years, they are being honored as 2013 Phoenix Champions for Children for

    their tireless advocacy and personal dedication to improving the lives of children in

    foster care by Childrens Action Alliance, community leaders, legislators and fellowadvocates!

    Thank you Kris and Joe for being a strong witness to Christian Disciples in

    Mission!

    Eucharistic Adoration Ministry

    The Eucharistic Adoration Ministry consists of indi-

    viduals who have committed to a specific hour of prayerbetween 9AM and 8PM on either Mondays or Wednes-

    days each week. If your Ministry would like to commit

    to having people pray in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel

    at a specific hour on either of those two days, please

    contact Rosemary Cudzewicz at 480-513-1762 for more

    information.

    As the heat intensifies so does the need for water for our neighbors who thirst.

    Once again, our community will be collecting water curbside before and after all Masses from May 4through June 30. The water we collect is taken to hydration centers and distributed to the homeless,elderly and disabled by outreach teams from Basic Mission, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army andStand up for Kids just to name a few.

    Last year we engaged various ministries to coordinate each Mass collection (with the help of a WaterDrive coordinator for guidance). As a Ministry Leader, we want to invite you to consider involving yourministry to take part in the collection.only ONE Mass with time spent before and after Mass. Familiesare welcome! We found the children are very helpful and good thankers to those who donate!

    The drive was very successful last year and we established a goal this year of 100,000 bottles of water!!With the help of your ministry, this goal is attainable and we will be helping save the health and lives of

    our neighbors who thirst during the heat of our desert summers.

    Matthew 25:35 .. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink..For more information, please contact Cheryl K@480-998-3843 or [email protected].
