(James 2:5) What is more important - being rich in faith or rich in possessions? Society teaches us that possessions are most important. God teaches a different lesson. When we are rich in faith we know that material things really do not matter and we are more willing to share what we have. jheld@diocesegfb.org New to the Parish? Welcome!

Our goal is the same as always, $300. Thank you in advance for helping us with these expenses!

4 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 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 , ext God bless you for helping us build a strong future for God's Church in our diocese!

Giving.cuatoday.com A Daily Prayer for Priests Dear Saint Gabriel, your very name recalls your particular devotion to Christ, the Man of Sorrows, and to Mary, his Afflicted Mother. You died young as a Passionist religious but left to us all an example of a life of Christ like sacrifice. Intercede for our seminarians and young religious, who are in desperate need of your patronage amid today's sensual and selfish world. Amen. CARE & SHARE: Almighty and loving God, you alone are the source of every good gift. We thank you for all of these gifts: Our lives, Our loved ones, All that we have and All that we are. It is through these gifts that we Proclaim Christ, your Son, Who is Our Redeemer and who came among us to show us the way to eternal life. Fill our minds with His truth and our Hearts with His love that, in His Spirit, we may be bonded together as a people of faith throughout our diocese. Amen.

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! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
