Second Sunday of Lent February 21, 2016

Supporting our Church Online through Faith Direct Prayerfully consider helping our parish this year, using the online program of Faith Di-rect.

2nd Sunday of Lent: February 21 That we be good stewards of the earth and our environment and wisely use its natural resources. “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the

Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.”(Genesis 15:7) Just as the Lord gave Abraham, Moses and the Israelites a land to possess, He has also given each of us a home. Whether our home is grand or humble, it is a gift from God. Abraham prepared a great sacrifice to the Lord in gratitude for the home God gave him. How do we show our gratitude to God for the home He has given us? Do we make a sacrifice of any kind? Do we return any of our finances to God, investing equally in our eternal home just as we invest in our earthly home?

Our Social Ministry Collection

This weekends second collec on for our Social Ministry helps us provide people less fortunate or in need of : Household items, clothing and food. We want to thank you for helping us provide these items for our brothers and sisters in need.

We’re going on an unexpected journey this Lent. It’s not what you had in mind. People associate Lent with “giving things up,” but we’re going to offer a unique kind of sacrifice. It’s central to how Jesus prodded people to deeper growth and spiritual purification. It’s central to every disciple’s personal exodus from self-centered to Christ-centered. Let’s begin: Stop. Quiet your heart. Call the people to mind who God has placed in your life who need to know his love. (That’s God placing them on your mind.) Now spend a minute asking God to bless them, break into their lives with the light and hope that only he can bring, and asking him to open doors for you and others to share the Good News with that person. Throughout this Lent, every day, commit to saying a short prayer and offering some small sacrifice for the people you just lifted up to God.

2015 Social Ministry Report Our Parish is generous enough to sponsor a Social Ministry which includes a Thrift Store and a Food Pantry. The Thrift Store accepts donations of clothing and household items for us to sell. These items are often sold at reduced prices so the less fortunate in our area can buy items they need. Our Social Ministry also offers vouchers for people in real need and no resources. Sometimes these people come directly to the Social Ministry and other times they are referred to us by other agencies that we work with. The Food Pantry is supported by donations from parishioners, area churches, stores and organizations. Our Food Pantry feeds people who might otherwise go hungry. Now for the numbers! In 2015, the Food Pantry received 113,373 pounds of food! Kroger gave 4,475 pounds (this is not from the Community Rewards Program); 87, 113 came from the Houston Food Bank which is funded by donors; 3,262 pounds are from walk-in donations; 12,603 pounds are from area food drives; 3,328 pounds are from food collected at Sacred Heart and 2,592 pounds come from individual donors. The Food Pantry served a total of 5,218 people in 2015. Of that total, 1,744 were age infant to 17; 2,708 were age 18-64 and 766 were age 65 and older. The Food Pantry saw an increase of 705 individuals served over the prior year. The Social Ministry gave vouchers in total of $408.50 for the year. People were able to use those vouchers to purchase items they need from the Thrift Store. Sales from Thrift Store donations totaled $37,692.98 which is up slightly from 2014. Proceeds from these sales assist us in paying the expenses of the Social Ministry along with our monthly Social Ministry collections and weekly collections. We currently have 2 full time employees at our Social Ministry who are assisted by volunteers. Please feel free to stop by our Social Ministry which is located at 14307 Hwy. 6, just East of FM 521. They are open Tuesday through Friday 10 am until noon and reopen after lunch at 1 pm until 3 pm. They are also open the first Saturday of the month from 10 am until 3 pm. Thank you so much for supporting our Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Community Social Ministry with your donations of goods, monthly second collection contributions and weekly contributions! These generous donations assist us in fulfilling our Parish Mission.

2o. Domingo de Cuaresma: 21 de febrero Que seamos buenos administradores de la tierra y de nuestro ambiente y que usemos con sabiduría sus recursos naturales. " Yo soy El Señor, que te

saqué de Ur de los caldeos, para darte a heredar esta tierra” (Génesis 15:7) Así como el Señor le dio a Abraham, Moisés y los Israelitas la posesión de unas tierras, también nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros un hogar. Sea nuestra casa grande o humilde, es un don de Dios. Abraham preparó un gran sacrificio al Señor en agradecimiento por la casa que Dios le dió. ¿Cómo le podemos mostrar nuestra gratitud a Dios por la casa que nos ha dado? ¿Hacemos algún tipo de sacrificio? ¿Le regresamos algo de nuestras finanzas a Dios, invirtiendo igualmente en nuestra casa eterna, así como invertimos en nuestra casa terrenal?

Adoración al Santisimo Adoración al Santísimo se lleva a cabo el primer viernes de cada mes de las 10:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m. y luego de las 10:00 p.m. hasta las 7:00 a.m. el sábado.
