Sister Joyce Blum, FSPA (489-2426) or sisterjblum@5577840798766500 CARE GIVERS….Care giving is hard work. These are chosen persons. Jesus on the cross asked John to take care of HIS MOTHER. Today, many of us are called too to take care of a parent, child, grandparent, a friend. We are not alone. We are many chosen and so often it goes unnoticed and unknown. Why? Because it is so personal. In God’s plan, we all have a particular gift or talent?and at times it is the vocation?of caring?for a loved one. This is a special calling...REMEMBER, YOU TEAM WITH YOUR GOD. 5699760-1049528000 ST. BONIFACE, WESTPHALIA pg. 2MINISTRIES Sat. Oct. 13(5pm) Sat. Oct. 20 (5pm) Sat. Oct. 27 (5pm)Wed.
