SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2014 World Mission Sunday – Fr. Brendan

Fr. Brendan Cahill will be here to preside and preach at the 10 AM Mass on October 19. Approximately 15 Mission/Missionary Societies will be invited to the Mass and to display their missionary work/program in Founders’ Hall after the 10:00 AM Mass.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul 281.333.2509

Office Hours: Tuesday – Wednesday, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., Thursday: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The good news of this Gospel is that all we need to do is let God tend us and bring us to produce good fruit. All we need do is be faithful; God will take care of the rest. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul brings the love and mercy of Jesus to those who feel left out and abandoned. Neighbors in Need Update: Many of you may wonder what became of the neighbor Deacon Jim visited and spoke of several months ago. The assistance provided by this parish enabled this young Haitian mother and her son to stay in their apartment. Several safety issues with the apartment were resolved, the apartment was treated for bed bugs, and the mother was able to get her employer to give her more hours at work. New bedding was also provided by the St. Paul the Apostle Conference of St. Vincent de Paul!

We invite you to share the joy of serving our Lord by serving others through the SVDP Ministry. Please contact Nancy Pocklington for more information at svdp.stpaulscatholic@gmail.com.

“As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools”. Author Unknown I want to take a minute to discuss our ECP teachers. We have an amazing group of hard working, loving, nurturing women working here. These ladies come in early and leave late. They do hours of work each week that they are not paid for. On more than one occasion, these ladies reach into their own pockets to purchase supplies for classroom activities. The next time you see one of our amazing ECP teachers, give a big thank you for all of their dedication to our young children. We still have a few openings in our pre-school. The fire trucks are coming! This Thursday and Friday the Nassau Bay Fire trucks will be visiting our pre-school.
