feet of our brothers and sisters and welcome all who come, as
Christ Himself.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
On the second Friday of every month, a dedicated group of 35 Holy
Spirit volunteers meet at 8:30 in the narthex to spend the day
giving back to the community. Loading their cars with many pans of
fried chicken, green beans, salads, and desserts prepared and
donated by themselves as well as other Holy Spirit Parishioners, they
make the drive to St. Mary’s Food Kitchen (also known as Hot Lunch
Services, Inc.) in Kansas City, Kansas. Once there, Holy Spirit
Parishioners, alongside volunteers from Ascension Catholic Church,
begin preparing to serve lunch to approximately 350 poor and
disadvantaged men, women, and children. They are known to those
they serve as “The Chicken People” and are among the favorite meals
served. The group is later joined by Holy Spirit School eighth graders
who help with washing the dishes and serving. Meals are served daily
at St. Mary’s Food Kitchen by volunteers from 51 local churches and 1
synagogue. Holy Spirit has been part of this group since 1980. Holy
Spirit Parish is very proud and appreciative of the time and talent
this group dedicates to helping the St. Mary’s Food Kitchen
ministry.
If you are interested in helping serve food at St. Mary’s Food
Kitchen, please contact Bob Perszyk at 851-2789 or
[email protected]. Volunteers to serve must be eighth grade
students or older and will meet at Holy Spirit at 8:30 am and return
around 2:00 pm. If you would like to help by preparing fried chicken,
green beans, or salad, please deliver them to the Holy Spirit Narthex
by 8:30 the second Friday of each month. Pans are provided for use in
the narthex the first weekend of the month. Your help is greatly
appreciated!
GUARDIAN ANGEL FUND
In each monthly packet of Church envelopes is a Guardian Angel
envelope. This fund provides assistance to families that have difficulty
in making tuition payments for the Holy Spirit School and the School of
Religion. Please consider making a monthly contribution using the
Guardian Angel envelope.
Thank you.

Good Father
Today’s second reading reminds me of a song I
learned this summer at the Life Teen Leadership
Conference. In the letter of James we hear, “All good
giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights.” (1:17) The song I learned is called “Good, Good
Father” and the refrain says…
You're a good, good Father.
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are.
And I'm loved by You.
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am.
Let us remember that this is our true and deepest identity.
