Kobonal Water Project
The parish appeal for the Kobonal Water Project, to build a well in rural
Haiti, concludes this weekend after having met and exceeded its goal of
$14,686. The parish has generously raised $16, 919 that will enable a
well to be developed in a small rural community in Haiti, providing
fresh, clean water for the residents. The goal was pushed over the top
through an anonymous donation matching the parish donations during
the last two weeks. Throughout this relatively short appeal parishioners
and friends have responded most generously. It is clear that parishioners
heard the message of “Laudato Si” the encyclical of Pope Francis on the
environment as well as the plight of the poor living in Haiti. Pope
Francis challenged all Christians to do all in our power to protect the God
given blessings of creation and to ensure that all are able to share those
blessings. Through Cross Catholic Outreach we learned of the need and
opportunity to put the Gospel in action by doing what we could to make
clean water available to the people of the Kobonal area of Haiti. Our
prayers accompany these funds as they are forwarded to Cross Catholic
for the people of Haiti.
ChristLife - Discovering Christ The ChristLife series “Discovering Christ” will be offered on Tuesday’s
at 1:00 - 2:30 PM at Pope John XXIII parish for seven weeks beginning
on Tuesday, February 28. Each session will include a prayer, a
“Discovering Christ” video and small group discussions. This offering
of Discovering Christ is a repeat of the series offered in October and
November and is being made available for anyone that was unable to
attend the first course. Participation is free but reservations are necessary
by mail (Pope John XXIII, 8290 Soule Rd., Liverpool), or by phone
652 - 6591 or email ([email protected])

A Family Perspective February 26, 2017
Eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Because we believe we can control and create our own world, we attempt
to juggle multiple agendas and we pay a price for neglecting those closest
to us. Too late we reach the point of asking “Was it worth it?” We really
can’t serve two masters.
