Page 4 Our Lady of Lourdes, Toledo, February 4, 2018 WE NEED YOUR HELP! Due to illness, limited mobility or just a time of need, many of our parishioners are unable to get out. We are forming a ministry called "Home Bound Connection Ministry" to address this need. Please call us with names of parishioners who have no family near-by or who have become reclusive. This ministry is meant to be one of compassion and hospitality. Our goal is first to identify these parishioners. Here is where we need your help. We then will seek volunteers to make a regular call to check on their wellbeing, make a connection with the parish and provide them with community resource information resources. Please call one of the following individuals with the parishioner's name, address and phone number.

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 Soul Sisters: Holiness and the Feminine Spirit February 24, 2018 9:30 am - Noon Regina Hall Conference Room Sister Shannon Schrein, OSF, Ph.D. Women know what it means to be a saint. It involves self-sacrifice and a heavy dose of service, and it flows from the heart from the love that is God s grace and gift. Our moms are saints who would argue with that? Women disciples and saints live today as well as in the past. The lives of women like St. Mother Theresa of Calcutta, St. Josephine Bakhita, St. Edith Stein, Blessed Chiara Badano and others teach us about living holy lives. Come, let s share our stories and celebrate women saints!
