Parish Mission - November 13th, 14th, 15th at 7 pm - Holy Spirit Church “Discovering a God Rich in Mercy in a World that Knows No Mercy”

Presenter Fr. Dan Crosby

Scripture often tells us our “God is rich in mercy.” And the prayer, “Lord have mercy” is

daily on our lips. But what is mercy? When was the last time it entered your speech or life (apart from times in church)? When our world constantly cries out for justice, who cares about mercy? Where is mercy?

We’ll explore these areas during our Parish Mission opening up for ourselves this marvelous gift of God and

what it means for us and asks of us in our tension-filled 21st century.

from the Scriptures & from the pulpit remind us of the

need for diligence in the care of our souls in prepara-

tion for the 2nd coming of Jesus the Christ. We hear

all manner of dire things that are yet to come. Because of the

amount of information through our instant technology some peo-

ple think the times are here. It is important to hear the HOPE that

the Living Word of God proclaims to us each & every day of our

lives here on earth; GOD is GOD & Salvation is in GOD’s hands.

There is a quote from St. Augustine that goes something like this:

“Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though

everything depended on you.” When we believe that we begin to

live it. There are so many caring & compassionate volunteers who

look forward to helping those who need a hand up. Thank you for

participating in this work or mercy.

A recliner we have in the front room of the Monsignor House is

broken. IF you are wondering what to do with an easy chair or

older recliner please consider us. Thank you.

The Monsignor House will be open from 9:30-11:30 on Thurs-

day, November 17. Come & have a cup of fair trade coffee, give

your donations &/or take a tour. For any questions about Family

Promise or the purpose of the Monsignor House please stop by or

Liturgical Tidbits: Pray! Invite! Encourage! Affirm!

Vocations! There are vocations:

which manifest themselves. They must be fostered.

which are not conscious of themselves. They must be

awakened.

which do not dare manifest themselves. They must be

found and encouraged.

which are in fear of being lost. They must be reassured.

which meet with opposition. They must be strengthened.

which are paralyzed by poverty. They must be helped

financially.

Look around you. How many men and women in your par-

ishes are caring and compassionate individuals who are

good listeners, articulate speakers, and loving enthusiastic

Courtesy Announcements

Catholics? How many of these special, gifted people have ever

been invited to consider becoming a priest, sister, brother, perma-

nent deacon, or full-time lay minister? Statistics show that 80% of

the 18-30 year olds in the United States and Canada have never

been asked to consider a Church Vocation.

At the same time that the Church is praying for vocations to the

priesthood, it is also reminded that vocations come in different

packages. Married couples, parents, religious — all who have

made a commitment to their relationship with God have indeed

chosen a vocation. Our prayer is for all to hear and respond to

their own vocation.

WELCOME! Holy Spirit Parish welcomes these families who have

joined our parish : Cameron & Michael Barlow; the McCrea family;
