5th Sunday in Ordinary Time—February 8, 2015
Sunday, February 8, 2015
On this day, we give thanks for the women and
men who have committed their lives to living and
working in and through a religious community.
They do so much good in the world. As Pope
Francis said, “The consecrated life appears to
us just as it really is: A Gift of God!”
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Thank you to our Religious Education students and our
Confirmation candidates who participated by
collecting food and money for our Souper Bowl of
Caring this past weekend at both of our Cathedrals.
Through your generous donations we collected
$714.00 and several bags of groceries for our Food
Shelf at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
This event is a blessing to our hungry neighbors who
get assistance from our Food Shelf.
Again, thank
you for supporting this important event.
Marybeth Hebert, Director
JOSEPH’S HOUSE
Thank you to everyone who continues to support
Joseph’s House! For the month of February we are
asking for donations of women’s deodorant and
shampoo.

FOOD DONATIONS
BISHOP COYNE’S VESPER
Thank you to everyone who donated food for the
Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf at Bishop
Coyne’s Vesper Service on Wed., Jan. 28th.. Your
donation of 218 pounds of food will feed many
hungry people at this difficult time of year. Thank
you for your generosity.
Let us pray:
Good and gracious God,
Who calls every man and woman to live a life
of holiness,
We give You praise for those men and women
we call brothers or sisters.
Grant them the wisdom to know and love You
and to share that love with others.
Grant more vocations to the Church through
consecration to religious life.
We ask all this in the name of Christ, Your Son
and our Lord.
Amen.
