Pastoral Reflections- Fr. Tim Wenzel

Every three years in our parish, our Diocesan Mission Office schedules a speaker who speaks about a particular Mission and invites our financial support.  On August 28 and 29, Fr. Tom Garvey will be talking about his work with the Carmen Pampa Fund, a St. Paul based organization that generates resources to support the Unidad Academica Campesina-Carmen Pampa (UAC-CP).  The UAC-CP is a Catholic college in rural Bolivia that generates social and ecomonic change through community-centered education. Recognized by the United Nations as an award-winning model for the eradication of poverty, the College educates students in subjects chosen for their relevance in creating self-sustaining communities.  For more details of this outreach program see the website www.carmenpampafun.org .  Your generous support will be greatly appreciated.

 

World Mission Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, you told your apostles to proclaim the good new and to make followers of nations.  They gave their lives to you, and for you, to spread the Gospel throughout the world. Today the faithful still strive to bring your name to those who need it most. Give your strength to missionairies around the world who give their lives every day in lands far from home. Help those charged with bringing your word, to be an example of you for those who cannot read your word themselves.  Help those who do their work in your name, to inspire others to seek you as their Savior. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Savior of the world.  Amen.
