A Monthly Ministry Bulletin
WHAT’S NEW?
Cardinal Rigali has recently appointed
Bob Iatesta to a newly formed
Advisory Board for
priestly vocations in the
Archdiocese of
Philadelphia.
This Board is composed
of lay leaders, priests,
religious and teachers with
Fr. Chris Rogers and Bishop
Daniel Thomas directing.
Beyond acting as a "think tank", the Vocations Board is created
to be a listening device for the local Church. What is God
doing? How can we cooperate?
We want each of you to feel connected to this process. It's a
great opportunity to send your ideas and suggestions to Living
Bridges. We'll pass this input on to Fr. Rogers. The greatest gift
each of us can give is dedicated prayer to facilitate this effort.
Advent
Programs
Two great programs are available December:
God's Daring Plan - An Advent series on
Luke's Infancy Narratives, by Gene Krueger at Our Lady of the Assumption Parish, the
last 3 weeks are Friday, December 4, 11, 18
(7:00 am to 8:00)
The third annual Spirit Power Retreat will
be held at Malvern Retreat House, December
8 (9am to 4 pm) honoring Our Lady of
Guadalupe.
Presenters are: Marty Rotella,
Fr. Stephen DeLacy and Anna
Iatesta - as a special guest.
We ask Jesus, our High Priest, to bless and multiply this work.
Reflections 2 - by Anna is now
being given the last touches of
editing and review. This wonderful
booklet of simple, yet profound
parables will bless you and your
family. We hope to have this
second edition of Reflections ready
for Advent. You can order booklets
now for pre-Christmas delivery.
Contact the Living Bridges office
for details. These pearls of Godly
wisdom can make great gifts for
family, friends, and neighbors.
These programs will give
your Advent and
Christmas holidays a
great lift.
New High School: We are beginning
to look into the possibility of adding
high school grades to our Living
Bridges Education Program. A
questionnaire has just been sent out to
our existing school families - grades K
to 8. This is meant to determine if a
new family-based high school program
is now called for, by Living Bridges.
