Community Service - May 20, 2012
Special Thanks for the help in making the Stained Glass Window Dedication/ Blessing Reception so enjoyable. The guests of honor were very much pleased to celebrate the occasion with so many guests, both from our parish and several from outside our community. We especially appreciate the help from our new volunteers, Teri and Bill Lorkowski who were kind enough to make certain the beautiful cake was perfect for the occasion. It is meaningful that the blessing and dedication was done on Mother’s Day to the honor of Mary, our Blessed Mother and all the blessed women and mothers of the church. These new stained glass windows represent the past, present and future and encourage us all to be living and true servants to the Body of Christ.
A personal note: I (Cindy) will be out of the office from May 18th to May 26th. I am heading down to Juneau to visit my great granddaughter and the family there. I plan to also help my husband, Joe as he and other volunteers help during the Moving Wall display there. Also, I am looking forward to visiting St. Theresa’s Retreat Center. It is such a beautiful setting and a perfectly quiet place in the world.
There is much to do in the month of June. Fundraising is my highest priority. Now that the good Lord has sent a steady weekday volunteer group to help coordinate the basic activities of the Soup Kitchen, we can concentrate on the feasibility of a golf tournament and the Golden Days activities. Please plan to bring helpful and creative ideas to the next CS meeting which will be scheduled and announced at the end of the month. Thank you for your continued prayers - for our works and for those we serve.
“As He blessed them He left them and was taken up to heaven” (Lk 24:51). From Love: A Fruit Always in Season by Mother Teresa… Jesus makes it “easy” – To make it easy for us to really love God, really be holy, Jesus again and again and again said the same thing: “Love one another as I have loved you.” When we look at the Cross we know how much He loves us. When we look at the Tabernacle we know how much He loves us now. And to make it, again I say, “easy for us He says, “Whatever you do to the least of My brethren you do it to Me.” “I was hungry; I was naked: I was homeless….” Please continue to pray for each other with the joy of Easter in our hearts.
