The Backpack Ministry blue collection bin in the back
of the church is never empty on Monday morning. The Sunday collection
has brought cash donations as well. So
many parishioners have enabled us to
distribute nearly 1000 items of food
since September to children in need.
The 2014-2015 school year will come
to an end in 6 more weeks. The Backpack food supply is currently well supplied with juice
boxes, macaroni and cheese, and ramen noodles. We
will not need further donations of these items.
We do need a few more weeks supplies of :
Canned pasta meals, Soup, Beef Stew, Canned fruit,
Raisins, Snack bars, Single Serving Bags of Chips,
Pretzels, Fruit Snacks, Goldfish Crackers, Peanut Butter
& Jelly...etc
God bless you all for your generous support of this
parish-wide project.

but the same Spirit.”

Dear Golden Hearts,
I would like to take this opportunity to write a simple letter of gratitude to all of you. Last week you
honored me with a luncheon at the Silver Stallion
Restaurant. I really enjoyed that special gathering
because we took time to make others feel how special our community is. You have been an inspiration to me on how to live my life according to
God's plan. Actually, my parish ministry became
more meaningful because of the love we shared
together. After all, we are all called to live God's
commandment: "Love one another!"
I will be bringing with me lots of good memories
as I go home to the Philippines. The time I spent
with you taught me the meaning of Christian service. I have to say that we really got to know each
other well in a more personal way. As I temporarily leave you, never forget to continue on spreading
that friendship with others. I am sure you will do
fine even without me, especially with the support
and presence of Fr. Ronald, our new Associate Pastor. Always support him because he is God's gift to
you. Continue reaching out to other senior citizens
in our parish, especially those who feel so alone,
and invite them to join your group. The best thing
that can ever happen to their life is to find a loving
God in people who genuinely care for them.
Until we meet again. Let us always pray for one
another.
In Christ,
Fr. John Era, CM
