Trying to communicate with our parish members during this pandem-

ic has shown us as a parish staff that we need to update our data base.

Many emails that we sent were bounced back to us as undeliverable.

This happened with physical addresses as well.

PLEASE let Mary know if your information has changed in the past

year (phone numbers, email address, home address, name change, or

any other changes in your status). You can call 452-6491 ex. 201 or

email her at hsparish@holyspiritgf.org. Our goal is to reach as many

people as possible with any new information. We truly appreciate

your help with this!

“We are called. We are chosen. We are Christ for one

another. We are promised for tomorrow, while we are

for him today.” -Anthem...Tom Conry.

When Kathy Remington, Patsie Thomas, and Kathie Malby left

the June 4 ZOOM meeting, for Family Promise Great Falls, we

thought we might be able to do some limited work with families at

the Monsignor House. Subsequently, Kathie Malby attended an-

other meeting on Thursday, June 11. AT THIS TIME — Family

Promise Great Falls needs to re-group and decide on 2 things: a)

Search for a new director; and b) When a new director is chosen

move the program into a new direction for “Eviction Prevention.”

What the Family Promise board will do has not been decided. I

was assured that a letter/email will go out to the volunteers in all

the churches, from the Family Promise Great Falls board, letting us

know what they believe can happen as we move forward. In the

mean time we ask for your continued prayer support. We hear

loudly and clearly in our Liturgy of the Word today ~ ALL of us

are called. Prayer is a call, it is our hope in these strange times,

and ALL of us are able to pray.

Thank you to those of you who continue to support the Monsignor

House with supplies during this time. Your generosity is deeply

appreciated. If you want to know more about the Family Promise

program at the Monsignor House Holy Spirit, please give Kathie

Malby a call at 781-5033 and leave a message. She will return

your call as soon as she can.

Mass Ministries: We will continue to have minimal ministr ies

at each Mass but we would like to be able to schedule parishioners

to cover these. If you are interested in serving in any of the minis-

tries listed below, please email Aubrey aubrey@holyspiritgf.org or

that you are not available, and your Name-Cell Phone-Email Ad-
