March 11, 2019 Friendship With Jesus: Living a Eucharistic Life Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love? -Venerable Fulton Sheen Saint of the Week: St Patrick - March 17: He was born in Roman Britain around the end of the 4th century, and died in Ireland about the middle of the 5th century. As a missionary bishop, he endured many hardships and faced opposition even from his friends and fellow Christians. Nevertheless, he worked hard to conciliate, to evangelize, and to educate local chieftains and their families. He is remembered for his simplicity and pastoral care, for his humble trust in God, and for his fearless preaching of the gospel to the very people who had enslaved him in his youth.

Thomas Washburn and Sandra Carreiro of United Interfaith Action of Southeastern MA after the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass for refreshments and discussion of the good work UIA is doing in our area. This gathering is open to the entire Catholic Community of Central Fall River. UIA has been bringing faith communities together since 1997 to work on issues of social justice in the cities of Fall River and New Bedford. Last year, they engaged in a year of listening, sharing the celebrations and challenges of life in our local community. This past Fall UIA, along with over 100 members from area parishes and congregations, took what they learned from those listening sessions and focused on what was deemed the most important in our community: the issues of education/youth, addiction and immigration. UIA is currently holding community conversations with public officials such as the Superintendent of Schools and Chief of Police to learn more about these issues and will soon make proposals for action. Sandra is looking forward to sharing this information and to learning more from our collaborative. Please join us, as we are called to put our faith into action together. Miss Willis Page 2 of 2
