Together in Faith: And the woman’s daughter was healed at that moment. Matthew 15:28

Care of the sick and needy became a hallmark of the early Christian movement and has remained so for thousands of years. In that tradition, let’s seek ways that we can reach out to those hoping for a loving, caring hand.

Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Anali Perry.

Project for the homeless: Members of our Cursillo group are crocheting mats for the homeless, using plastic shopping bags. We need bags and will have a box for that purpose in the Narthex. Anyone interested in assisting the group in the making of the mats may contact Monica Larsen at 480-621-8158 or mlarsen498@aol.com.
