Offertory Collection

 

         June 18, 2006…………………………... $6,237.76
Text Box: BULLETIN CONNECTION There are times in everyone’s life when the difficulties and vicissitudes of human existence can seem to be overwhelming. Just like the disciples in today’s Gospel, we might cry out, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” Whether it is illness, relationships, financial hardship, or family problems, there comes a time when we might cry out to God for help. And sometimes it is very clear that God has heard us (just like in the Gospel) and other times it may seem as though God has never heard us at all (as in the first reading from Job). Of course, one way or the other, God responds. God does care that we are perishing, and God saves us.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

 

JESUS IS CALLING!!  Jesus calls us to come to HIM with repentance, prayers, and adoration.

 

As Pope John Paul II stated at the Eucharistic Congress, “It gives me great hope to kneel before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, in an act of humble and fervent adoration, and in thanksgiving.”

 

Let us visit JESUS in the Adoration Chapel.  Open hours: Monday noon, Wednesday 11:00 a.m., Thursday 11:00 a.m., Thursday 4:00 p.m., Thursday 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 11:00 a.m. For information call 612-605-2558 or 612-781-4806.  Thank you.
