The bulletin for August 10, 2008 is available by clicking here to view it.
Listed below are a few of the items from this week's bulletin. See the bulletin for more details and to read all of the announcements.
NEWS FROM HAITI: While many of us are busy planning and taking vacations, we can still take a minute or two to reflect on the desperate needs of the children and elderly in Saltadère. Remember only 48 cents per day or $5.76 per month will provide three meals a day for a child. You can assist a needy older person for 70 cents or $21.10 per month. Please make your checks payable to Holy Comforter Church with "Haiti Food" on the memo line. Your donations are always welcome, regardless of size. Even if you are unable to assist financially, please help by praying for the people of Saltadère.
PANTRY: It is Reverse Collection time again. If the parish continues to open hearts, grocery bags, and wallets, we will be able to help our neighbors through these tough economic times. Each of us helping just a little makes a big difference.
IMPACT: IMPACT has become a powerful force for justice in this area because the 28 member congregations were able to bring 2,000 people to the Nehemiah Action where we asked people who could make changes for the better to make those changes. There are still unfinished justice issues, and there will be new justice issues. Please plan to become a part of IMPACT.
THE LORD NEEDS YOU: How can you do this? Become a Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. As individuals have left this ministry, the need for new ministers at all masses has become urgent. Training will be provided. PLEASE contact Margaret McElroy at 973-6429 or mdm1909@embarqmail.com.
CATECHISTS UPDATE:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
HOLY COMFORTER 'HELPING HANDS': The Pastoral Care Committee wants to develop a program where our parishioners can demonstrate their giving spirit by ministering to each other. There are times when we can use extra help due to illness, surgery, or birth of a child. If you are able to prepare a meal or provide a ride, you qualify to be part of this giving ministry. What can we do to help our Holy Comforter family? Sign up on the sheet on the table in the Commons to make a meal, provide a ride, or help coordinate this program. Making a few phone calls is all the coordination this program needs. There are no age or gender restrictions--all are welcome to join this giving group. You will truly be spiritually rewarded.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: Installation of Father Louis A. Rowen Council 3670 Officers for 2008-09 will be held on Monday, August 18th, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. at the Stone Chapel of the Church of the Incarnation (off Route 29N behind Toys "R" Us.) Dinner will follow. Council 3670 will supply the main dish. Families are encouraged to attend and are asked to bring the following based on the last name: A-L to bring a vegetable, and J-Z to bring a dessert. Reservations are required. Call Bill Phillips at 973-6726, Jim Morrisard at 973-6570, Tom O'Rourke at 244-2852, or Ernie Sardi at 980-4180.
