Help the Brethren - that we may be co-workers in the truth.

MISSION EVENT IN AUGUST TO BENEFIT MISSIONS IN NIGERIA, ARGENTINA AND THE PHILIPPINES -
BLESSED SACRAMENT FESTIVAL, NEW BEDFORD, MA

5  Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers, especially for strangers;  6 they have testified to your love before the church.   Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.* 7 For they have set out for the sake of the Name* and are accepting nothing from the pagans.  8 Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.  -  3 John  1:5-8

Our mission events bring abundant graces!  There are many challenges, joys, struggles and lots of gratitude.  Our small efforts in raising funds for the needy missions by selling our handmade religious articles bring so many benefits: the opportunity to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ, to hear the miraculous stories of how God has helped people in their lives, to pray with and for those who are sorrowing, to teach the rosary and other prayers, to lift up the downtrodden and bring joy to their hearts AND to help the missions.  We can attest that Our Most wonderful and powerful God is active and still working miracles in His children's lives because we hear the stories and we rejoice that He allows us to learn of them.  And we witness that Our Lady is also a mother to her children and actively drawing them to Her Most Holy Son, Jesus Christ.  Our Lady surrounds us with Her Mantle: We pray to Her before our events so that She will be with us and help us whenever we need it.  She is our Mother and always at our side.  All praise to the Blessed Trinity - and Blessed is Holy Mary!
