4 6/17/2018 The Rosary The Rosary is recited every Saturday at 9a.m. in the church. All are invited and encouraged to attend. Peter Pence A little mercy makes the world less cold and more just. Pope Francis, Angelus, March 17, 2013 June 15, 2018 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, On the weekend of June 24, our diocese will take up the Peter s Pence Collection. Our participation supports the charitable work of Pope Francis as he reaches out to those who are marginalized and suffering around the globe. By supporting this collection, you join the Holy Father in bringing a little more mercy into the world. Pope Francis challenges us to look at those around us with the eyes of mercy. At a Papal Audience he said, We encounter so many weary and oppressed people today... And how is our heart? Is it merciful? And our way of thinking and acting, is it inclusive? (Jubilee Audience, Nov. 12, 2016). I invite you to reflect on how you feel moved to answer the call to mercy. In Iraq, many people still live a nightmare of war and violence. This has left many displaced, including young people in the midst of their studies. Without an educated population, it will be difficult for the country to gain stability. Thanks to support from this collection, the Archdiocese of Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan, has received funding for 10 scholarships for young displaced persons. With this help, the students can complete their university education and move forward with the hope of rebuilding their country. Let us join with our brothers and sisters in faith from around the globe to help Pope Francis reach the marginalized in our world. I ask that you prayerfully consider how you can best support the collection this year. For more information about the good works that result and the response over past years, please visit the website of the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at Continued
