N E W S & E V E N T S 5 FIGHT HUMAN TRAFFICKING Sr. Monica from Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries, a religious community from the Archdiocese of Cebu, Philippines, will visit us this weekend! She is asking our help to support their mission of saving women and children victims of human trafficking and prostitution in the Philippines, and shelter them in the Home of Love. The Home of Love provides all the programs and services with loving care, free of charge, without limitation to age, and for a maximum of five years. The following interventions are provided with love and discipline: Temporary shelter, food and clothing, medical and dental services, psychological therapy, guidance and counseling, educational assistance even to their children, livelihood training and spiritual formation, childcare, and parenting. Rosaries and other religious articles will be available for donation after all Masses. We will be taking up a second collection to aid in sponsoring the 4000 children they are helping with their high school education. The Home of Love now continues its expansion to accommodate another 100 women and children. Any donation from your hearts would make their missionary work possible. For more information, please stop by the table at the front doors of church after mass. Information is also available on their website http://www.mqhm.org/. Facebook: mqhm missionaries. Or you may also contact Sr. Monica Baul, MQHM at 818-261-6214. The SMG St. Vincent de Paul Conference invites you to attend our meetings to learn more about our ministry. We meet at 10:00am, every other Sunday in Piper II (see parish calendar). Contact Ann Collins at 480-451-0898. If you or someone you know in our parish boundaries is experiencing a crisis and in need of help with food, clothing, rent, utilities or medical/dental attention, we have many resources available. Call SMG SVDP at 480-948-8380, ext. 50. We are overwhelmed and truly grateful for your continued generosity to our food drives and special donations. We are in need of paper products for our upcoming food drives (first weekend of the month). To schedule a pick up of donated items, call 602-254-3338. It s summer vacation time, and we sincerely thank our parishioners who mail or deliver their weekly envelopes to the parish office while they are away. As many of you understand, our parish expenses and obligations do not take a summer vacation when you do, so it is very helpful to be able to rely on your continued support even when you cannot personally attend Mass here. Before leaving town, set up your electronic giving by visiting the parish website at www.smgaz.org, click the donate button and create your account. It s easy and secure! No need to worry about sending your envelope, and the parish is able to budget accordingly. The first weekend of every month! Thank you for supporting those in need in our parish with your donations of non-perishable food items. We are in great need of paper products at this time!
