Needs for the Monsignor House: Please give Kathie a call at 406-781-5033 if you and a friend can donate about 20 minutes of your time to move a couch and love seat from the basement of the Monsignor House, up the stairs, to the breeze way between Holy Family Church and the ‘Old Parish Offices’. She will meet you there to unlock the doors and show you where to place them. Gratitude: Thank you so much for your care and concern for the family who are living in the Monsignor House. Thank you for your donations and offerings of donations. Holy Spirit communi-ty, your generosity is amazing! Monsignor House Reflection: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. Our dear Mother, Mary shares an ancient prayer with her kinswoman, Elizabeth. What a humble person she was and is! She shows all of us the way to go in both word and deed. Her witness reveals to us the depth of her LOVE for God and her willingness to TRUST in God for herself, her Son-to-be, and her husband, Joseph. The families in the Family Prom-ise program benefitted from the gift of prayer and love. The vol-unteers prayed for the needs of all who came through the Mon-signor House. Thank you to all of you who willingly gave your time in prayer. Thank you for your continued prayer which:...cast down the mighty from their thrones and has lifted up the lowly.

August is here! We will begin working on the next schedule to-

ward the middle of the month. If you are willing to come back to

your ministry, please log into the scheduler and make yourself

“active” and include any other changes to your profile. Thank

you!
