Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection next weekend. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/ccee.

SEGUNDA COLECTA. La próxima semana realizaremos la Colecta para la

Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental y en África. Esta colecta sostiene a la Iglesia en más de 20 países, muchos de los cuales

todavía están luchando por recuperarse luego de haber estado bajo el régimen

soviético. Los fondos de esta colecta financian el cuidado pastoral, la

catequesis, la renovación de edificios y la formación de seminaristas. El apoyo que usted da restaura la Iglesia y

construye el futuro en esta región. Por favor, en oración, considere cómo puede contribuir a la colecta la próxima

semana. Puede encontrar más información en www.usccb.org/ccee.

HAVE YOU REMEMBERED YOUR PARISH IN YOUR WILL?

Dear Parishioners: When I came to St. Bede as Pastor, one of the things I was asked to do by the Archdiocese was to make a new will. It was then that I began to think more seriously about material possessions and death. Leaving the Church in your final will and testament is a Holy act. What greater testament could be made to the world, family and God than to say, I support my parish Church even in the end. Please consider leaving

St. Bede the Venerable Catholic Church in your Final Will and Testament. It assures that our parish will continue to do for others what it has done to bless you and help into paradise.

Fr. Alex Val ladares, Pastor
