Ano Jubileo de la Misericordia: Un Recuerdo que Se Piden Ropa Y Bolsos Para Llevarla.
Koinonia Farms tiene un ministerio que se llama Ministerio de Viajero. Este
ministerio sirve migrantes que habían sido encarcelados y pronto estarán
deportados. Nuestra parroquia de Santa María, como parte de nuestro compromiso al Año de Jubileo de Misericordia, tiene una colaboración con este
ministerio que da ropa a los hombres listos a salir del cárcel. De hecho, a
través de este ministerio estamos practicando dos obras de misericordia, de
ayudar los que falta ropa y los que están encarcelados.
Por eso estamos cogiendo regalos de estas cosas:
* bolsos de viaje de cualquier tamaño
* camisas : medio y grande
* Pantalones: cintura de 30, 32, 34
* Zapatos: tomato de 8, 9, 10
* Calcetines
* Camisa interior: medio y grande
* Ropa interior: cintura menos de 36
Hay una caja el fondo de nuestra iglesia a poner una o otra cosa o antes o después las misas el fin de semana (favor, solamente el fin de semana). Para mas información, favor llame Elizabeth Dede at 229
591-0114 o por email: [email protected].
¿Tiene una lavadora y una plancha? Si con-
teste sí, pues a lo mejor usted
podría ayudarnos con el ministerio en torno del altar. Es decir, de vez en cuando, lavar y
planchar los linos como purificadores para las copas, tela del
altar, ropa blanco (soltanos) de
los monaguillos, etc. La coordinadora de este ministerio,
Señora Maureen Turner, solo tiene unas pocas
mujeres de la comunidad Anglo y por eso busca ahora ayudantes de la comunicad hispano. Ella podría dar una enseñanza por este ministerio en
una reunión en la iglesia a las
interesadas. Favor, llame la
oficina y deje un mensaje para el párroco Padre
Paco informándole de su interés.
CORRESPONSIBILIDAD,
10 avo. del Tiempo Ordinario. Adán y Eva fueron expulsados del Paraíso por su
desobediencia. Pero Jesús
dice en el Evangelio de hoy
que cuando obedecemos la voluntad de Dios –
cuando usamos nuestros dones para ayudar a los
demás- nos hacemos parte de Su familia.
“Quienquiera que haga la voluntad de Dios es
hermano, hermana y madre para mí.”

“As Jesus drew near…a man who had died was being
carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was
a widow. …Jesus was moved with pity for her and said
to her, “Do not weep.” He …touched the coffin…and he
said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” The dead man sat up
and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.”
(Luke 7)

Giving of our time, talent and
treasure to our parish and a local
community of which we form a
part, is less about giving until it
hurts than about giving until you feel good about
what you have given.

In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, parishes
throughout Christendom
have committed themselves to the practice of a
specific corporal or spiritual work of mercy. Our own
parish, after a lengthy process of discernment by our
Pastoral Council, combined two works of mercy
as our identified Jubilee Year of Mercy ministry.
This Mercy ministry therefore has the added appeal
of twining two corporal works of mercy, one outreaching to prisoners and the other clothing of the
naked.
Its additional appeal is that it does not invent the
wheel but uses the operative infrastructure of Koinonia Farms where a group of our parishioners live
and work. And so, in recent months we have invited parishioners to support these twinned works of
mercy per the needs listed below. And thus this
note in our bulletin is to remind us to continue to
support this effort. For more information, please
contact Elizabeth Dede at 229 591-0114 or
[email protected]. (also 229 924-0391 .
Koinonia Farms’ Traveler's
Ministry and St. Mary’s parish are gathering donations of
clothing and duffel bags. This
ministry serves migrant men
who are detained at the nearby Stewart Detention Center.
Father Francois Pellesier, assigned there as chaplain, provides information and liaison
about this ministry to those who are about to be
deported. The men then write to Koinonia listing
their clothing sizes; Koinonia members prepare the
duffel bags. The bags are delivered to the prison
and each man is given one upon arriving to his
"country of origin."
* Bags: any zip-able airline carry-on sized bags
* Shirts: medium and large
* Pants: waist size 30, 32, 34
* Shoes: size 8, 9, 10
* Socks
* Undershirts: medium and large
* Underwear: waist size less than 36
* Cash to purchase any of the above.
Before or after weekend Masses (only), items are
to be left in the big box on the left as one enters the
back of our church.
Knights of Columbus of St. Mary’s are
grateful to all who
supported their 19th

evening.
Protocols For Use of Sherlock Hall Kitchen
The full inventory of
the kitchen
in Sherlock
Hall was
taken last
year thanks
to the painstaking efforts of parishioner and
K of C
member Larry Bank. Since then the protocols published a
year ago have been by and large observed and
thus we are grateful to all kitchen users. Periodically we publish these protocols as a reminder to
all parish groups and thus the following.
First, a request for reservation of the kitchen is
made with Larry Banks who serves as Coordinator of the Kitchen (942-9405);
Second, the group or just its coordinator meets
with Larry to review the protocols for use of hall
and kitchen , e.g., care in arranging of tables and
chair, setting and resetting of AC/Heat thermostats, VIRTUS certified persons on hand if children and/or youth are present, etc;
Third, the group’s representative and Larry review the inventory of kitchen items and the proper use of the kitchen and its equipment and sign
off on it.
Fourth, after the event is over, the Coordinator
and the group’s representative meet again to go
over the inventory and condition of the kitchen
and sign off on it.
