“Practice charity with your neighbor-and this doesn’t mean only to
give money to the poor...We could for example, keep ourselves from
examining our neighbor’s conscience. There is also visiting the
sick, who often do not need money, but who need good advice to
help them get closer to God.” ~ St Andre Bessette

Today the battle between light and darkness is
raging. A spiritual battle requires a spiritual re-
sponse. Billings Catholic Radio invites you to at-
tend BEHOLD THIS HEART, Reparation to the
Sacred Hear of Jesus, on October 4th and 5th.
This Catholic conference features: Father Wade
Menezes, of Auburn Kentucky, well known for
his ability to clearly communicate the “crux of the matter” and Donna
Cori Gibson, an inspirational speaker /singer . Like the fir st re-
sponders to a disaster, we will join Bishop Michael Warfel for an oppor-
tunity to make reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, venerate a 1st
class relic of Saint Mary Margaret Alacoque, and obtain grace through
the sacraments of the Church. The spiritual battle is where purification
will spring forth. Don’t miss it! To register visit kjcrradio.com or call

The Monsignor House is available for all parishion-

families with the Family Promise Great Falls Program
or for those parishioners who want to meet as a small study group.
We are located at 2810 Central Avenue.
At the Monsignor House we are the recipients of nice things that
are no longer needed. We received a sofa and love seat to place in
our quiet room which is the front of the House. We also received
some much-needed plastic containers which we use on a daily ba-
sis when we have families staying at the Monsignor House. And
we also received another money donation which we need. It was
called to our attention that people would like to give without being
publicly acknowledged for it. So, Holy Spirit, thank you for your
sponsorship and support for the Monsignor House and the Family
Promise program. In our second reading, St. Paul writes: “...the
grace of our Lord has been abundant….” Those of us who directly
serve the Monsignor House experience this abundance of grace
from our Lord through you who support and appreciate the gift of
the Monsignor House.
If you want to know more about the Family Promise program at
Monsignor House Holy Spirit, or you want to use it for a meeting,
please give Kathie Malby a call at 781-5033 and leave a message.
