Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time February 4 & 5, 2012 Blessed Sacrament Church welcomes all of its parishioners, and as a Parish Community, we welcome all of our visitors! Whether you are here for a few days, or weeks, or months, we are pleased that you have chosen us to be your parish "away from home." Those of us who reside here permanently are few – perhaps twenty percent of those seated among you. We are inspired by the many who join us in celebrating the Mass -- the beautiful example of faith you give us by your presence increases our commitment to serve you. We look forward to you joining us at all of our liturgies. Our little Church was expanded for you, our visitors. Please help us meet our rising weekly expenses by your generosity to our first & second collections. Alternatively, perhaps you will remember us when you return home if you can. We want to ensure that you have a Parish "home away from home" for many years to come here in Stowe and we pray for your safe return home and your return to us very soon!

Please drop off cans of soup to our food basket at the back of the church, either during the week or next weekend. More families and individuals are visiting the food shelf than ever. Unfortunately, contributions to LCFS have dropped after the Christmas "Giving Season". This week our Parish volunteers noticed how bare the shelves were and how many new families came in for food. The food shelf appreciates the generous donations as well as the food that was delivered to them from our Parish. Thanks to all who have thought of our needy neighbors and dropped off bags of food and other supplies such as toilet paper, baby diapers and personal products. During this cold season, many people have trouble paying for their heat and there is little money left to buy food.Thanks also to our Parish members who deliver the food and volunteer at the Food Shelf. All donations are greatly appreciated by the LCFS. |
