Events This Week

Bread on the Common Street Ministry to Homeless Persons

All are invited to be part of a ministry to homeless persons on the streets and nearby the Shrine on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays of each month. We meet in the auditorium of the Shrine at 5:45 p.m., prepare food packets, and then visit with homeless persons on the streets, offering food, socks, and presence, ending at 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, September 25. 5:45 to 7:30 p.m.

Mackenzie Allen Phillipss youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in this midst of his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change his life forever.

Part 2: Tues., Sept. 24, 2013, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. 2nd fl classroom Facilitators: Fr. Richard Flaherty, OFM & Dr. Jackie Stewart Cost: $5 per session Book must be read before joining the group for meaningful discussion.

vibrant Earth community still intact, still able to support life. The module has a strong focus on Catholic social teaching and asks very big questions about our priorities, our moral values, what we owe the world now and the future generations that come after us, and what God intended for this creation. The material is challenging and likely to raise some troubling questions and emotions. By the end of the process, participants will have seen what the crisis has to teach us about how to live faithfully in this moment in time, brought Gospel values to the forefront of their reflections on the state of the Earth, gained a sense of empowerment within the context of community, and explored options for making a commitment to action.
