CONNECT: Small group experience
Connect with others. Connect with Christ. Connect Christ with all the parts of your life. CONNECT Small Groups is a fantastic opportunity to
enjoy stimulating discussions with others interested in
growing in faith AND to learn about this amazing faith
we share as Catholics. We’d love to welcome YOU to this
experience, which so many in our parish have found to
be valuable and worthwhile. It is the goal of CONNECT
groups to enable you to Connect with others, Connect
with Christ, and Connect Christ with all parts of your life.
We invite you to join others who have said “yes” to
growing through CONNECT groups.
When people meet the real Jesus in Scripture, lives
change, hearts heal, and the grace and power of our
baptism is unleashed to truly change all that has become
so negative and contentious in our world today. Our
Christian faith is a faith of deep joy and peace and every
Catholic can access that peace and joy even in the midst
of societal conflict and discord
CONNECT small groups will be starting up again in
mid-September. The meetings will be held virtually;
not in person.
Watch for further information and registration
information in the coming weeks .

Provide Schooling & Basic Care
for Children, Ghana
Ancilla School Wa has been in
existence since 2010. The
school founded by the Sisters
of Handmaids of the Holy Child
Jesus, started as an early
childhood educational center
with 35 kids - ages 18 months -
five years. Today, the school
has a population of over 2000
children – from newborn to Junior High School. The school
provides scholarships to about 500 pupils from very poor
homes and educationally disadvantaged communities. The
school is concerned about the total wellbeing of children
and provides nutritional, emotional, spiritual, and health
needs. Each day, children in the school are served a
nutritious breakfast and staff eat as well. The school
feeding programs serve as motivation for needy children do
have access to quality education. Since March 15, schools
in Ghana were asked to lockdown because of the pandemic.
Our children who were safe and nourished are suffering
hunger and deprivation. The sisters have lost their source
of livelihood and can no longer support them. We want to
be there for our kids in this time of difficulty and exposure.
We want to provide at least one nutritious meal for them.
We need your assistance to support our ministry to
vulnerable children during this pandemic.

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

From visionary writer-director Terrence Malick comes this
story based on real events, about an unsung hero, Franz
Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World
War II. Although the Austrian farmer is faced with the
threat of execution for treason, his unwavering beliefs
and his love for his wife Fani and their three children
keep his spirit alive.
