2016 CHARITABLE GRANTS
Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17
Holy Apostles Healing Mass
with
When I came to Holy Apostles Parish, I was
very impressed and heartened to hear that the parish
had a Charitable Grant Committee that works on
behalf of our parish to award grants to local not-forprofit agencies. It is important for our parish to
have a generous spirit that extends beyond our
boundaries. Therefore, I am pleased to inform you
that we recently awarded the following grants:
 Operation Stand Down Rhode Island,
Johnston, RI - $3,000.
 Whitmarsh House, Providence, RI - $1,500.
 Little Sisters of the Poor, Pawtucket, RI $2,500.
 Little Flower Home, Providence, RI $2,000.
 Breadlines, Inc., Riverside - $2,000.
 Rhode Island Center Assisting those in
Need, Carolina, RI - $1,500.
 Saint Edwards Food & Wellness Center,
Providence, RI - $2,500.
I wish to thank Dr. Joe Pezza who once again
chaired the committee whose members include:
Joanne Colozzi, Lynne Craddock, Bud Craddock,
Jeff Hardiman, Angelo Pezzullo and Mike St.
Pierre. I also thank you for your generosity that
allows our parish family to respond to these needs
in the greater community.
On a similar note, I think all would agree that Sister
Anne Dundin gave a wonderful presentation last
weekend on the missionary work of the Franciscan
Missionaries of Mary. You responded generously
by contributing $2,763.10 to the special collection.
Our contributions to the missions help to bring the
message and comfort of Christ to distant parts of the
world where there is great need. Let us continue to
pray for Sr. Dundin and all the Church’s
missionaries.
Msgr. Theroux
Saturday, June 18 at 11AM

us always be mindful of the sick and the suffering
in our midst and keep them in our prayers.

The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ | Luke 9:11b-17
Jesus spoke to a large crowd about the Kingdom of God. He healed those in need, and a er the 5000 people divided into groups of 50, fed them all with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. It was a miracle that all were fed and sa sfied, with 12 baskets of le overs. ©2016 Bon Venture Services, LLC MOST HOLY BODY &
BLOOD OF CHRIST
“Then taking the 5 loaves and 2 fish, and
looking up to heaven, He said the blessing
over them, and gave them to the disciples
to set before the crowd.”
Through the ConsecraƟon at Mass, these ordinary foods of bread and wine become the true Body and Blood of Christ. Luke 9:16 3 Follow the numbers to connect the dots and color the cross. 1 2 GRAPES
