Daly read at three of the masses last Sunday. Many people asked for a copy. A great tribute to the power of prayer. That prayer has great power Which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour hear sweet, A sad heart merry, A poor heart rich, A foolish heart wise, A timid heart brave, A sick heart well, A blind heart full of sight, A cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little Heart, It drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God. It brings together two lovers, God and the soul, In a wondrous place where they speak much of love. THANK YOU January 4, 2015 Dear Fr. Daly, On behalf of our “little family” of Little Sisters and Residents, I would like to thank you for the wonderful items you donated to our Home on December 18, 2014. We appreciate such special gifts that can meet the needs of our Residents. The items you donated are listed below:  26 Turkeys St. Jeanne Jugan began our mission of humble service to the needy elderly in 1839. In our special mission of caring for those in need, we depend greatly on the goodness of friends and benefactors to help us with the means necessary to provide quality services and care to our 100 Residents. As we head through winter, may you and your family be safe and filled with the joys that life has to offer. Our family of Residents and Little Sisters continue to pray for your intentions. God bless you always! Gratefully, Sister Jeanne Veronique,l.s.p.

He has asked that you make a pledge to the 2015 Cardinal’s Appeal. The Cardinal’s Appeal not only funds the operations of the Archdiocese, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. This year, the theme of the Appeal is, “Seek First the Kingdom of God.” (Matthew 6:33). As we seek first the kingdom of God, we have the capability of helping it to be present in our lives and in the lives of those around us. How does this happen? Through our works of charity, our works of love, our works of love and compassion. Contributions to the Cardinal’s Appeal offers each of us the opportunity to respond to the needs of others by enabling ministries and services that touch thousands of lives. Please prayerfully consider a generous pledge to the 2015 Cardinal’s Appeal. The Liturgy of the Word for Children is celebrated each week at the 11:15 AM mass on Sunday. Children between the ages of 3 years and 8 years are invited to come and hear the gospel in terms they can better understand. We hear the Gospel from the children’s lectionary and do activities to help explain the Word. The children leave as a group after the Opening Prayers. They return during the Offertory to rejoin their parents. This is not a play time. If there is a paper to take home you must pick it up after mass on the table in the Festival Room. Parents may attend with their young child if they wish. We are always looking for people to help with this ministry. Adults need to be fingerprinted and take the Archdiocesan class on Child Protection. If you would like to lead a session or just help keep order in the chapel, please call Marie at 410-586-2151 or call the parish office 410-5350223.
