Pallottine Mission Appeal

 Next Sunday our second collection will be towards the Pallottine Missions – whatever way you can help the Pallottines continue our work and missions back in India we will be ever grateful. In the past years you have always been very generous and we thank you for that. Know for sure that your sacrifices will go a long way. If you are not able to help financially do not be disheartened, just offer a prayer for our works and mission and you will receive your blessings in return. The very fact that we as Pallottines are allowed to ministry in this country is already a great help for our Society. As I have mentioned in the past, through our ministry here we are obliged to contribute to our Society through our salary and also through mission appeals so that our work as Pallottines can be enhanced. You have been very generous and gracious towards us by accepting and supporting us in our ministry. Your words of encouragement and support help us to continue our ministry more joyfully. My sincere thanks to each one for your support. May our Founder St. Vincent Pallotti and our Patroness Mary Queen of the Apostles, continue to intercede for us as we all strive to make God’s kingdom come on earth through our lives and activities.

God Bless you all.

St. Valentine Blood Drive coming soon!

Palm Sunday, April 9th is the date!
 Our next Blood Drive is Palm Sunday, April 9, 2017 from 8am to 2pm. Please consider donating since the Red Cross has had low amounts of blood donations this winter and they need our help. You can  email – cgallredcrblooddrive@gmail.com – or see me after mass for the next few weekends. If you can’t donate please consider donating a dish to feed the Red Cross Staff that day. Just see me after mass to let me know. Thank you and God Bless!
