GOSPEL

When you are merciful, you are kind and

forgiving. Your actions teach others how

to love God and each other. You visit the

sick. You comfort those who are crying.

You pray for those who are in jail. You

share money, food, water, shelter, and

clothing with those who need it. You

forgive the people who hurt you. When

you are kind and forgiving to other

people, they will also be kind and forgiving

to you.

PRAYER

Lord, I want to be kind and forgiving.

DRAW Draw yourself wiping the tears from the face of your brother, sister, or friend.

COLOR

Read the Gospel of the week and color the image.

Thank you for your continued support

of our parish family.

Launched by Pope Francis, MISSIO

connects you with communities around

the world and helps you make a direct

and lasting impact on the lives of others.

Bringing the Gospel to those in need

of God’s Love

Pope Francis invites the

entire Church to support

evangelization in mission

dioceses in Africa, Asia,

the Pacific Islands, and

parts of Latin America and

Europe where priests,

religious and lay leaders

serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. To

Latin America, where catechists travel to remote areas

to bring the Good News of God’s great love to

families – you can send yourself in mission… To

catechists in one of the largest slums in Kenya, who

visit the sick, pray with the dying and teach children

the mercy and hope of the Savior – you can send

yourself in mission. To those in Kazakhstan who have

been unable to practice their faith and need the

sacraments and Church outreach – you can send

yourself in mission. To those new to the faith in

Mongolia – you can send yourself in mission. You can

help bring the love of the Gospel to those most

forgotten around the world. Pope Francis reminds us

to answer God’s missionary call with, “Here I Am,

Send Me.” In the midst of our struggles, we find hope

in the message of Jesus’ Resurrection. Will you

support local priests, Sisters and lay catechists who

help the poor of the Missions experience that same

hope and joy! Your gifts and your prayers this Mission

Month will be a blessing to families who benefit from

this loving outreach in mission countries.

For more information on this and other

projects, please go to

Consider a Gift of Stock to

Support the Ministries of Holy Martyrs

In gratitude for all that God has given us, we, as

Christians, are called to give back to our community and

our church. In addition to the Sunday offertory, one way

of giving back might be transferring appreciated stock

to help Holy Martyrs continue its mission to lead people

to encounter Christ, grow in faith, and make disciples.

By transferring stock directly to our parish, you may be

able to avoid capital gains taxes.

For more information about what you need to do to

make such a gift, please contact

Therese McDonnell at 330-722-6633 or
