CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 70 years takes its toll

and these are the vital projects required: Replacement of roofing

Kitchen replacement and expansion Comprehensive exterior renovation

Construction of new rectory The Capital Campaign for Our Lady of the Mountains seeks

pledges of five years or less to replace the roof, create the new kitchen, do exterior repairs and build a new rectory.

Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis on those that can be used immediately.

Your support is vital. Campaign Envelopes are in pews.

Internet fraudsters have been scamming parishioners by sending emails

and text messages which appear to come from parish priest asking for

help by purchasing gift cards and sending the pin number on the back of

the card. Neither the pastor nor any member of the staff will ever make

this request.

If you receive this type of email immediately contact the local police as

well as the Federal Trade Commission at ftccomplaintassistant.gov

and click the link to chat with a technical support specialist.

Please patronize our advertisers. They make the bulletin possible.

Amber Busche, O.D.

Mission Statement

"Our Lady of the Mountains Parish is one family

fed by the Body of Christ, the Eucharist.

Our mission is to become the image of God to one

another through the practice of our faith and

offering hospitality to all."

Only the Heart of Christ who

knows the depths of his Father's love

could reveal to us the abyss of His mercy in so

simple and beautiful a way -

---From the Catechism.

Meeting topic:

Dialogue and Reflection

on Racial Harmony from

our Catholic Faith.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You

are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite my-

self wholly to You. Never

permit me to be separated from You. Amen

R.C.I.A.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults will begin the

first week of Sept. The day & time to be determined.

This program is for anyone who is interested in be-

coming a Catholic, & for anyone who would like to

learn more about the Catholic faith. We will meet

once a week in small groups with masks & distancing.

To sign up or for more

information, please call the

Church office at 586 8111 or

email susan@olmestes.org

“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has

the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery

and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.

That is what love looks like.”

St Augustine
