DM Fall 2010 Newsletter

Almost 350 Scapulars distributed

Special thanks to Fr. James of the Carmello Retreat House in Redlands for his time and explanation of the Scapular.

We purchase 500 Scapulars and through our many volunteers distributed 341!

Donations received recovered the cost of purchase plus $13 for a total of $137.50.

Not too shabby!

Scapular Investiture at St. Martha

Vacation Bible School 2010

Once again Patricia D'Carpio well-planned and exiting lessons has captured the hearts and souls of the next generation of Catholics at St. Martha's. This year's program, entitled: Behold Thy Mother, captured the souls of our children who learned:

*Anything is possible with God

*We do NOT worship the Blessed Virgin Mary, we HONOR her as mother, intercessor, example

*The importance of the Rosary & Brown Scapular as tools for our salvation

Many thanks to all the volunteers who gave generously of their time photocopying and teaching. Special thanks to the home school moms for their generous donations of time, food, craft material, and behind the scenes technological support!

Vacation Bible School

Next general meeting-May 29

Our next general meeting will be held on Saturday, May 29, 2010 from 8:30 to 10 A.M. in Straling Hall. As always there will be a free continental breakfast. We will be discussing:

*ministry projects for 2010
*food preparation/delivery for Torretti Family
*callers for new parishioners
*need for additional Eucharistic ministers
*prayer warrior network
*convalescent committee work
*date of next meeting

Prayer Warriors still needed

Is it just me or does everyone know someone who is seriously ill or terminal? How can we reach these people with the message of God's Mercy and wish to heal their souls, and oftentimes, and bodies? We need additional help. People to go out and carry this message: "God has always loved you, He waits for you to call upon Him. Do you need forgiveness? Anything you have done can be forgiven. Do you need healing? God WILL heal you spiritually, maybe even physically. Trust, trust, trust and let go. He will transform your life."
