Action Alert: Support HR5111 to Correct Profound Flaws in
Health Care Reform
The Catholic bishops of the U.S. have asked the faithful to write to their
federal representatives asking them to co-sponsor or support House Resolution
5111. HR 5111 would remedy the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's
flaws in its treatment of abortion, conscience rights, etc. To learn more
about the important message to your representative in Congress, and contact
them directly, visit the NCHLA
website. or call 202-224-3121 to reach your representative through the
U.S. Capitol Switchboard.
The beautiful tabernacle from St
Philip Neri has been installed on the new altar of repose built by
Don Williams
and finished by Fr. Elliott and his mother, who also refinished the existing
altar as seen above.
From Fr. Elliott:
You have probably seen the
beautiful tabernacle and altars. The tabernacle is from the old St. Philip Neri
Church. It is quite heavy and needed an altar that could support its weight. I
am so grateful to Don Williams for building the altar, which he did with such
precision and care. He has started a business called
Black Forest Woodworks
and donated his time and talent to our parish. A special thanks to St.
Charles Hardwoods for giving us below wholesale pricing on the wood
products. The cost of the materials were paid for through individual donations.
Don also modified the altar we have been using for the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass and both altars were painted to match. Thanks to Larry Slattery and Kevin
Harrell for help in moving everything in place in time for our First Holy
Communion Mass.
We now have a new microphone for the choir, which was donated by John Kainady
and Mike Brown. It helps our choir to be heard throughout the Church.

My most good Jesus, God of infinite mercy,
most sweet Father of our souls, and especially of the most weak, of the
most miserable, of the most sick, of those souls that You carry with a
special tenderness in Your divine arms, I come to ask You, thanks to the

time and eternity in Your divine arms filled with love.
