WOMEN’S DAY OF PRAYER

Saturday 5/20/17

On Saturday May 20th Sister Carol Fitzsimmons,

CSJ will lead the women of the parish in a day of prayer.

Resurrection, budding trees, blooming flowers, longer days all bring to mind new life, hope and grace. Being a seaside community we know how busy the days can be once summer arrives. This is a wonderful time to gather as women of faith and reflect on the blessings in our lives and give thanks to our good and gracious God for all He gives to each of us.

If you enjoyed a small group during Lenten Longings, come back with the women from your group and refresh for a day. Or, if you want to spend time with faith friends before the summer rush, join us this day. "

In order to plan for the day, please sign up at the table in the Gathering Space.

St. Paul welcome you to

tled Finding your Great-ness. We will be joined

world. Whether you are ready to let God take your spiritual life to

the next level or want to help grow your parish, Finding Your Great-ness promises to take you on a journey that will help you to live out

the genius of Catholicism in your everyday life.

Please join us on Saturday, May 20th from 10am - 2:30pm. The

0587.

The USCCB in their document Communities of Salt and Light said: “Just as the gospel tells us our lives will be judged by our response to the “least of these,” so too our parishes should be measured by our help for the hungry, the homeless, the trou-bled, and the alienated – in our own community and beyond.”

Every summer a group of students and chaperones head out beyond the boundaries of Hull to live this charge from the USCCB. These trips are transformational times for students and chaperones as well. How do we know this? The following quotes from students who participated last year tell us:

GLASTONBURY ABBEY

“ Each day groups brought holy water to their worksites to sprinkle around, blessing the organi-zations and people they met. Not only did each group have a tremendous impact on their worksites, but we were all inspired by the people we met.” - Christian Olivieri

“Some of my favorite moments were

getting a lecture from a boy named Will, on

who was a better soccer player; Messi or

Ronaldo. Or learning to play the drums on

five gallon buckets. Or simply sharing lunch

with these fabulous children. . . . I really do

not know what kind of impact I had on all

these children. But I can say, with certain-

ty, that they all made an impact in my life.”

- Joe Meschino

“My buddy that week was a girl named Maya. She

was a beautiful nine year old who loved gossiping

with me about her boyfriend and reading with me

during story time. One day she picked out the

book I Want My Mommy, a story about a child

who spends a day with his grandmother. In the

story, the boy says it’s his first day without his

mom. Maya turned to me and said “I’ve spent a

couple days without my mommy before, she left

me and my family 7 days ago.” My heart broke for

Maya. . . .I am not sure if Maya will remember me

years from now, but I am so happy that I was able

to be there to offer her light in a dark time. There

is always going to be someone out there who

needs your help. Just listen for God calling on

you.”

- Lauren Saniuk

“As we became closer with the kids, we

learned more about their background. For

example, some kids have been in emergen-

cy housing their entire lives, causing them

to move locations constantly, making it

hard to build friendships. Other kids at

Bethany Hill Pace had domestic violence in

their homes as they grew up, making it

difficult to trust others. . . It was an honor

to spend a week with these wonderful peo-

ple, making it very hard to say goodbye

when it was time to come back home.”

- Victoria Fuda

“This service trip I was with a group that helped out at Boomerang’s, a company that runs thrift stores to help AIDS re-search. My group worked on a step of the clothes donation system that I nev-er really thought about before. The clothes, of course, don’t go right to the store. Before that they go through a warehouse, which sorts, tags, and pass-es along the clothing. My group helped by working on this step. I will admit, it was made more difficult by the fact that we didn’t get to meet with the people feeling most of the assistance, those people being the AIDS patients and the people buying from the stores, but I feel there was still an important lesson to be learned. The lesson is that some-times, you just need to know that you are helping and you won’t get to see the definitive proof. This work also taught me that somebody along the line has to do the most difficult and/or gru-eling tasks and sometimes one must accept these tasks. I believe that this lesson has helped me to grow in dedica-tion to service.” –Aidan Leahy

Ralph Stowe, Doreen Trahon, Rob Mortell, and the rest of the Dufresnay Haiti Foundation staff were simply amazed by how much Cathy Bowes and the CCD kids grades 1-5 doing chores around the house; and grades 6-8 the Glastonbury Abbey walk, raised to help the desperately poor people of Dufresnay Haiti and surrounding villages. They raised an incredible $2024.44. 6 Thumbs up, you all did a fantastic job. God is well pleased.

With your very generous donations we will continue to develop the sewing project, the baking oven project, the fish farm in the village of Jimba, and also will be able to continue the Mobile Health Clinic that travels to 8 villag-es in the mountainous region of Dufresnay, Haiti.

I (Rob Mortell) just wanted to share a funny little story of our April 2017 trip to Haiti. We were having a pizza party for the now 38 orphan girls when a little 4 year old came up to me and poked me in the stomach, held her hand over her mouth, and then giggled. It was so cute I just had to laugh. Kids are so honest. I guess she wasn’t used to seeing people with a little extra weight on them.

God Bless your very generous and compassionate hearts always. The Dufresnay Haiti Foundation

Have you ever wondered… What ancient Rome was like in the 60’sAD? What was it like to sneak away from Roman guards? What games did kids play in ancient Rome? How it felt to be one of the very first Christians?

The 8th annual Vacation Bible Camp is coming very soon! This summer we will travel back in time to the very center of the Roman Empire. Saint Paul will tell stories of the challenges faced by early Christians. Games, music, arts and crafts, and snacks will fill the week with fun for children entering grades K-5 (2017-18 school year). Middle and high school students are invited to volunteer as camp counselors…a great way to earn service hours. Adult volunteers are also needed to make this year’s camp a great success.

More information to come in the weeks ahead!

Check out St Mary of the Assumption Facebook page for photos from last summer’s camp.
