Sponsor of the Week

A Campaign of the Advancement Foundation

Here is an example of how valuable our social outreach program is for the community. “Faith in Action: This week a couple asked for our assistance with food at the Outreach Office. They are living in their car with their 2 children. The father is undergoing chemo treatments and struggling to find help for his medications. We gave them shelf stable foods as well as resources for his cancer treatment. The Outreach Office is a safe harbor for many families who are struggling like this family. Thank you to parishioners who continue to support this ministry with time, talent and treasure.” Please prayerfully consider helping us achieve our Vision 2020 goal by submitting your capital campaign pledge.

Aquí hay un ejemplo de lo valioso que es nuestro programa de servicios sociales para la comunidad. “Fe en acción: Esta semana una pareja solicitó nuestra ayuda con alimentos en la Oficina de Servicios Sociales. Viven en su automóvil con sus 2 hijos. El padre se somete a tratamientos de quimioterapia y lucha por encontrar ayuda para sus medicamentos. Les dimos alimentos y recursos para su tratamiento contra el cáncer. La Oficina de Servicios Sociales es un sitio seguro para muchas familias que luchan como esta familia. Gracias a los feligreses que continúan apoyando este ministerio con su tiempo, talento y tesoros.” Favor de considerar en oración ayudarnos a lograr nuestra meta de Visión 2020 haciendo su compromiso a la campaña capital.

Food Pantry

Please help! Our shelves are very bare. On Wednesday afternoon we had no peanut butter, soup, peas, bread mix, ramen, shampoo, laundry detergent, or toilet paper. These are staples that we put in our bags and it was difficult to include enough items to fill them. We will accept any food pantry items, and especially the items listed above.

Baby World

We are short on size 5 and 6 diapers as well as toiletries. Any donations of diapers, baby wash, lotion or shampoo are appreciated.

Faith in Action

This week a single mother with 8 and 10-year-old daughters asked for our assistance with her electric bill. She had a disconnect notice and was noticeably despondent when she came to our office. She had recently been diagnosed with cancer and lost her job when she was unable to go to work regularly. We were able to help prevent the disconnection but our client will have many struggles as she learns how to manage her finances along with her disease. Please keep her in your prayers.

Please remember the parishes, schools and many ministries of the Diocese of Fort Worth now and in the future. Gifts of cash, IRA distributions, securities, insurance policies, bequests, annuities and trusts can make a lasting difference.

Stewardship Reflection29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

...proclaim the word, be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient...2 Timothy 4:2It is not always convenient to be a good steward, especially when all the temptations of our busy and materialistic world get in the way. Now add our own pride and ego into the equation and living a stewardship lifestyle may be downright uncomfortable! Remember, God didn’t call us to be comfortable. He called us to be faithful.

...proclama la palabra, sé persistente sea conveniente o inconveniente...2 Timoteo 4:2No siempre es conveniente ser un buen administrador, especialmente cuando todas las tentaciones de nuestro mundo ocupado y materialista se interponen en el camino. ¡Ahora agreguemos nuestro propio orgullo y ego a la ecuación y vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad puede ser completamente incómodo! Recuerde, Dios no nos llamó para estar cómodos. Nos llamó a ser fieles.
