PMD Express, September 2016 - The Archdiocese of Santa Fe

Archdiocese of Santa Fe Pastoral Ministries Division
Under the Leadership of Archbishop John C. Wester
Vol. 20, No. 9
October 2016
The Pastoral Ministries Division is “Called by God, Sent to Serve”
Moved By Mercy: October is Respect Life
Month…Plan activities and prayers
for your parish!
During Respect Life month and throughout the year,
USCCB encourages parishes to use the Respect Life
Program materials downloadable for free at http://
www.usccb.org/about/pro-life-activities/respect-lifeprogram/
Some ideas:
Priests/deacons: deliver a homily on the theme
“Moved By Mercy” tying it together with respect for
each person, no matter their stage in life.
Parishes: Post the Respect Life poster in the back of
church, in a meeting hall and in the parish office. Leave
it up all year or put it up in October (Respect Life
Month) and in January (Day of prayer for protection of
the unborn). Feature one of the articles in a bulletin
each month.
Youth ministry: Hang poster in youth ministry
space. Highlight ways in which Spiritual and Corporal
Works of Mercy can help us cherish the gift of every
person’s life.
Young Adult/Adult Formation: Print the poster, make
copies and hand out to faith formation participants. Use
the reflection suggestions for discussion on the enclosed articles.
Young Adults: Plan and host a prayer service for life.
Host a service event based on the message of “Moved
By Mercy”
Catholic Education: Hang poster in classroom, explain
theme within context of respecting each person’s dignity, which no one can take away. Provide sticky note to
each student and ask them to write down an example
of living out mercy in a way that respects dignity and
post them. Have them take down someone else’s sticky
note and do the action, and write about it.
Be creative with how you use it during the year!
Most importantly, share the message of
Moved By Mercy!

Quote of the Month from
Pope Francis
We are called to show mercy because mercy
has first been shown to us. Pardoning offences becomes the clearest expression of merciful love, and for us Christians it is an imperative from which we cannot excuse ourselves.
At times how hard it seems to forgive! And
yet pardon is the instrument placed into our
fragile hands to attain serenity of heart. To let
go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge are
necessary conditions to living joyfully. (April
11, 2015)

Catholic Campaign for
Human Development Grants
The Catholic Campaign
for Human Development (CCHD) is the
national anti-poverty
program of the U.S.
Catholic Bishops. Funded by an annual collection taken in November
in parishes across the
U.S., CCHD provides
grants to eligible non-profit organizations that
work to break the cycle of poverty through
community development or economic development projects working with the poor.
25% of the collection taken in our Archdiocese is used to fund local projects and the
remaining 75% is pooled with other Dioceses
to fund larger national grants. National
grants may award $25,000-$75,000, while
local “seed” grants of $1,500-$10,000 are
available within our Archdiocese. A “PreApplication” to determine National grant
eligibility is available September 1st until
November 1st at www.usccb.org/cchd/
grants. Local grants are available at any time.
Currently, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe has
one nationally funded project and four locally
funded projects, including one joint matching
grant with The Catholic Foundation.
Please contact the Office of Social Justice and
Respect Life if you are interested in applying
for a grant or would like more information

about the major events in the life of Jesus. All four mysteries are presented and explained so that young audiences will understand that the rosary is a very special
way to get in touch with Jesus and Mary. Discussion
