Our Heartfelt Thanks

On behalf of my father, Gaylord LaFond and all the
members of the LaFond family, we want to thank
everyone who offered prayers and help in his time of
need; a TIA at mass. A special thanks to Fr. Cory
for his quick response in administering the Sacrament of Healing. The prayers of all were answered
and dad has recovered well. We thank the good
Lord for allowing dad and his family more time together.

Can you not spend one hour with me?

(Mt 26:40)

"I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life

for the sheep...and they will heed my voice." John 10:14-16
When you pray, ask Jesus what He wants you to
do. Listen for the response. The answer is usually
in "quiet whispers". Take time in silent, daily
prayer to hear His answer.

Youth & Young Adult Ministry

Youth and Young Adults are the future of our
Church in this diocese! The Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana is currently raising funds to launch
a new, dedicated diocesan-wide ministry for Youth
and Young Adults. This is a deeply-felt void in our
diocese and one that many people are asking to see
filled. Because of the charitable gifts received to
date, our diocese is currently interviewing candidates
to fill the role of a dynamic, new director. None of
this would be possible without the generosity of
anonymous donors who offered a challenge to match
up to $100,000 from gifts given by people throughout our diocese. Will you help us meet this challenge?
All gifts help! Currently, we have raised $52,000 toward our $100,000 goal. To make a gift that will be
matched, simply send to the Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana, PO Box 1399, Great Falls, MT
59403-1399 and note that it is for Youth and Young
Adult Ministry. You will receive a tax receipt for
your contribution. You may also designate your gift
to the new Youth and Young Adult Ministry Endowment, if you prefer.
Questions? Please call the Foundation at 800-3329998, ext. 120. God bless you for helping us build a
strong future for God's Church in our diocese!

Catholic Homes Mission Appeal

supports dioceses right here in the US and its territories that lack the resources to provide basic pastoral
ministry to their populations. Through grants, Catholic Home Missions funds catechesis, seminarian education, lay ministry training, and other pastoral programs. For further information please see handouts in
the back of the church.

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!
