 | Mission Cooperation Plan Appeal 2010 This weekend, July 31st and August 1st, we will welcome Fr. Michael T. White, C.S.Sp. to preach at all the Masses on behalf of the missionary work of his religious community the Congregation of the Holy Spirit. The Spiritans were founded in 1703 to serve God’s people who have never heard the Gospel, to those in our world who suffer the most because of poverty and injustice, and wherever the Church finds it difficult to minister. |

Your awareness, prayers and financial assistance will assist them in fulfilling our mission as a Church – to reach out to the lost, the least and the left out of our global family. Spiritans go to people, not primarily to accomplish the task, but rather to be with them, live with them,accompany them, listen to them, and share with them. At the heart of their relationship is truth, respect, and love. |

On this adventure, the Holy Spirit is in charge, and the needs of the people on the side of the road will determine the stops made. 'We go where the Spirit leads us.' Our mission is consistent; we respond to our changing world.” |
