Youth & Young Adult Ministry

Youth and Young Adults are the future of our
Church in this diocese! The Catholic Foundation of
Eastern Montana is currently raising funds to launch
a new, dedicated diocesan-wide ministry for Youth
and Young Adults. This is a deeply-felt void in our
diocese and one that many people are asking to see
filled. Because of the charitable gifts received to
date, our diocese is currently interviewing candidates
to fill the role of a dynamic, new director. None of
this would be possible without the generosity of
anonymous donors who offered a challenge to match
up to $100,000 from gifts given by people throughout our diocese. Will you help us meet this challenge?
All gifts help! Currently, we have raised $52,000
toward our $100,000 goal. To make a gift that will
be matched, simply send to the Catholic Foundation
of Eastern Montana, PO Box 1399, Great Falls, MT
59403-1399 and note that it is for Youth and Young
Adult Ministry. You will receive a tax receipt for
your contribution. You may also designate your gift
to the new Youth and Young Adult Ministry Endowment, if you prefer.
Questions? Please call the Foundation at 800-3329998, ext. 120. God bless you for helping us build a
strong future for God's Church in our diocese!

Care and Share 2015

What is the impact of your gift in support of the
2015 Care and Share Annual Catholic Appeal? Topping the list is helping to ensure a sacramental presence in all of our parishes in this diocese. There is
nothing more fundamental to our faith and our Catholic family. Your gifts help bring priests to our diocese, support the formation of Deacons, and train
Lay Leaders of Prayer. Thank you for your generous
support of Care and Share your stewardship is truly Proclaiming Christ in our diocese!

Prayer for Our Youth

God, our Father, we thank You for the gift of
love and the gift of life. We thank you for the
gift of our children. We ask You to send Your
holy angels to protect and guide them each day
so that they will walk the narrow path of purity, self-control and obedience, as was taught to
us by Your own Son, Jesus Christ. We ask this
through Jesus Christ our Lord, in union with
the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Year of Consecrated Life 2015

freedom and imitating Him more closely through the
practice of the evangelical counsels, each in their
own way leading a life dedicated to God.

Life, Perfectae Caritatis, no. 1

Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of

the least of these, you did not do for me.'

Mass Intentions
As Catholics, we have a long tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we wish to offer up in prayer.
The Mass is the ultimate form of prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an intention. We ask $10.00 per
mass intention.
Please consider having Masses celebrated for family and friends on special occasions and anniversaries, as
well as those who are in need of prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of those loved ones who
have died, especially on the anniversaries of their deaths. Contact Fr. Cory for more information!

Stewardship Thoughts
March 29, 2015
We have been given gifts through the Holy Spirit.
This is a vital time for us to use those gifts to build
the Kingdom of God. St. David of Crete said this of
Palm Sunday: Let us run to accompany the Lord as
He hastens toward His Passion, not by covering His
path with palms, but by being humble and by trying
to live as He would wish.

As Gods family, we are all called to look out for
one another. Its not just about me. Its about

Jesus emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.
How are we called, especially during Lent, to empty
ourselves for the good of others?
