Submit your PHOTOS
PPC Photo Challenge
Your Parish Pastoral Council invites all
parishioners of Holy Redeemer to submit a
photo depicting characteristics of our new
theme of "TRUST".
“The desert purifies you, almost against your will,
through God’s efforts. In the desert, what really occurs
is a cosmic confrontation between God and the devil;
though this happens within and through you. Your job
is only to have the courage to be there. The idea is
that God does the work, providing you have the
courage to show up.”
excerpt taken from The Desert: A Place of Preparation by Ron Rolheiser
to read more go to www.liturgy.slu.edu
You can submit your old or new photos,
along with a brief explanation of why it
represents "TRUST" to you.
Pictures can be submitted via E-mail to
[email protected] or with an
actual copy of your original photo.
Please submit to the parish office by
March 27th, 2015. Photos reflecting our
theme will be displayed throughout our new
liturgical year.

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot
know for certain where it will end. Nor do I
really know myself… But I believe that the
desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am
doing. Therefore I will trust you always though
I may seem to be lost... I will not fear, for you
are ever with me, and you will never leave me
to face my perils alone.

DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE – Sowing seeds of love
through 15,200 projects and partnerships
We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an
inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we
never abandon them.
Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel, 48.
For nearly 50 years, DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE has been
committed to nurturing the bond between the faith of
Canadian Catholics and the poorest of our brothers and
sisters in the human family. Since our founding in 1967,
Canadian Catholics have supported 15,200 local initiatives
around the world through your generous donations to the
annual Share Lent Campaign. These initiatives, in areas such
as agriculture, education, community action, peace building
and citizen participation, continue to help the poor
today. The Share Lent collection is on the Fifth Sunday
of Lent – Solidarity Sunday – March 22nd.
