To those who sold doves he said, "Take
these out of here, and stop making my
Father's house a marketplace." His
disciples recalled the words of
Scripture, Zeal for your house will
consume me.

Pope Francis
Speaks to Our Hearts
Money has to Serve, Not Rule
Money has to serve, not rule! The pope loves everyone,
rich and poor alike, but the pope has the duty, in
Christ’s name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to
respect them, to promote them. The pope appeals for
disinterested solidarity and for a return to personcentered ethics in the world of finance and economics.

Penny Fair Report: Our thanks to the
parishioners that supported this year’s Penny
Fair by donating items, buying the cash raffle
tickets given out at church or by attending and
playing on the day of the Penny fair. Thank
you to Patty Kellogg for all the advertising …and we give a
great thanks to all who worked on Friday and on Saturday.
We are also very grateful for the businesses in the Vergennes
area and beyond and to Knights of Columbus and St. Anne’s
Society who were so generous. The Penny Fair would not be
successful without all of you. Our profit this year is
$7,077.92. Please keep in mind that anytime during the year
that you have something you would like to donate you are
able to leave it at the rectory or give it to one of the
committee members. Co-Chairpersons: Missy Campono and
Jeanne Senesac

signs of love! Thank You.
