MISSIONARY COOPERATIVE PLAN IS ON THE

WEEKEND OF JULY 2/3, 2005.  Fr. Joseph Phan Hien from the Diocese of Phat Diem (Viet Nam) will be here to speak to us regarding this mission.

 

               

The following was written during the Battle of Bastogne.  The author was one of the soldiers under the command of Sgt. Andy Gonda.  With Andy’s permission, we reproduced it just as it was given to him some sixty years ago in Belgium.

Bastogne

The crops should be full in Belgium next year, the soil should be fertile, but the price has been dear, the wheat should be red on the hills of Bastogne, for the roots have been drenched by the blood of our own, battered and reeling we stand in their way, Attack and throw back, we hold another day.

     Embittered, Wrathful, we watch our pals fall, God, where is the end, the end of it all?

     Confident and powerful they strike at our lines, but we beat them back fighting for time.

     Berserk with fury they are hitting us now, flesh against steel, we will hold but how?

     Yes, honor the men who will some day come home, but pray for the men neath the hills of Bastogne.

 

           

 

The Pregnancy Aid Center is sponsoring a trip to the Hilton Theatre to see the musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on Wednesday, July 20, 2005.  If interested please contact Kathy Thomas at 908-725-4139.

 

                          

We experience the constant pressure of material and secular views from the media, and fear unprecedented violence and mistrust in the world. Yet, despite all these

struggles, we, as human beings, seem to have an intense longing to touch all that is sacred in a deeper and more meaningful manner. RENEW will help you to get in

touch with those deeper, more meaningful feelings. Please plan to attend.

 

RENEW comes to Our Lady of Mercy in October 2005.

 

If you stretch your arms straight out as far as you can, that’s about how tall you are. Try it.
