Reminder for Sunday, August 25, 2019, 21st Ordinary Time

Isaiah 56:  . . . for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Romans 11:  I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them.
Matthew 15:  Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.”

 

 

Some artists are cooks. Some of them are welders. Some of them are counselors. Some of them are technicians or accountants or teachers. “Just as writing can become calligraphy when it’s creatively, skillfully, and consciously performed,” H. E. Davey wrote, “so can all other activities become art.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Dear Father Stack,

Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.

I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.

I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.

Thanks, Anthony DeGenova

 

 

 

Our Father.

 

 

Dear Stack Ministry,

Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova.  I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project.  My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children.  This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children.  I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up.  Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at:

Telephone: 972-495-3639

Email Address:  anthonydegenova@outlook.com

I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,

Anthony DeGenova
