250 Good Works - Week 1 SuggestionsOur 250 Good Works of Mercy campaign is underway! Over the next four weeks, in an effort for our parish to complete 250 (or more) Good Works of Mercy, would you (and your family) be able to commit to ONE Good Work a week? Whether it is a small act or prayer that just takes a few minutes, or a longer commitment sharing time, talent or treasure, let's step out of what is comfortable, what is routine in our lives and work to bring peace, healing and hope to our parish and community.
1. Pray a Rosary: if praying the Rosary is not part of your daily routine, slow down and Pray a Rosary for a special intention, or join the St. Stephen's 9am Mass group that prays the Rosary immediately following daily Mass. Consider praying a Rosary when you're driving, exercising, folding laundry or doing the dishes.
2. Write a note or make a card or two for a resident of Schervier Pavillion. Cards and letters can be dropped off in the Parish Office. A collection box for cards is located outside the main office. Cards will be delivered in July.
