Stewardship Thoughts

"If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide
today whom you will serve...As for me and my
household, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua
24:15)
When we commit to serve the Lord, we must be
willing to become a partner in the work of the
Lord. A partner is a person who invests their time,
talent and treasure. If we say we serve God, we
must actually do something and not merely talk
about it!

RAFFLE QUILT

Sacred Heart ParishGlendive, MT

St. Mary's quilters are once again making a large

queen sized quilt for the PCCW raffle. We have
placed a can in the back of the church and are asking for donations towards the expenses incurred in
making it. The donations will be used to pay for the
backing, batting and quilting. The quilters donate
their fabric for the top and the binding along with
their talent and time. Please be as generous as you
can, but even a couple of dollars will help. Our
goal is the same as always, $300. Thank you in advance for helping us with these expenses!

ThemeThe Joy of the Lord is Your Strength

Youth & Young Adult Ministry

Youth and Young Adults are the future of our
Church in this diocese! The Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana is currently raising funds to launch
a new, dedicated diocesan-wide ministry for Youth
and Young Adults. This is a deeply-felt void in our
diocese and one that many people are asking to see
filled. Because of the charitable gifts received to
date, our diocese is currently interviewing candidates
to fill the role of a dynamic, new director. None of
this would be possible without the generosity of
anonymous donors who offered a challenge to match
up to $100,000 from gifts given by people throughout our diocese. Will you help us meet this challenge?
All gifts help! Currently, we have raised $52,000 toward our $100,000 goal. To make a gift that will be
matched, simply send to the Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana, PO Box 1399, Great Falls, MT
59403-1399 and note that it is for Youth and Young
Adult Ministry. You will receive a tax receipt for
your contribution. You may also designate your gift
to the new Youth and Young Adult Ministry Endowment, if you prefer.
Questions? Please call the Foundation at 800-3329998, ext. 120. God bless you for helping us build a
strong future for God's Church in our diocese!

A Daily Prayer for Priests

Dear Saint Gabriel, your very name recalls your
particular devotion to Christ, the Man of Sorrows,
and to Mary, his Afflicted Mother. You died
young as a Passionist religious but left to us all an
example of a life of Christ like sacrifice. Intercede
for our seminarians and young religious, who are
in desperate need of your patronage amid today's
sensual and selfish world. Amen.

CARE & SHARE:
It is almost unheard of these days within the field of
charity and philanthropy to have less than 2 cents of
every dollar you give go directly to the cause youre
trying to help. That is what is special about Care &
Share! A little more than 98 cents of each dollar
donated to our annual Catholic Appeal goes directly
to supporting our diocesan-wide Catholic Ministries,
including administrative support for our parishes,
when needed.
The new 2015 Care and Share video is at website:
www.catholicfoundationmt.org.
judy@catholicfoundationmt.org

The Christian faithful have an obligation to foster

vocations to the priesthood and the religious life by
living faithfully the call to holiness, by holding vocations to the priesthood and the religious life in esteem, and by encouraging young men and women to
consider the possibility of a call from God to the ordained or
consecrated states.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
