Parishioners in the Diocese of Helena have been presented with two campaigns in this past year. The information about each campaign was presented and made available to the Catholic faithful. In this information age, however, we are often overwhelmed by the sheer volume of it all that we sometimes filter out what is otherwise important to us. Here is a brief clarifying statement comparing and contrasting the two campaigns.

The Holy Mass is the most powerful prayer we can offer to God the Father. In the Mass we are praying as a community of faith, mystically as the Body of Christ. In that same sacred moment, Christ, our Head, offers Himself as the supreme sacrifice to the Father. It is within this context of pure sacrificial love that it is most suitable that we, who are forever bound in love with another who has passed from this life to the next, beseech God to take our loved one to Himself. For this purpose, we may request that a Mass be offered for the repose of the soul of our loved one. The priest that is celebrating the Mass, and is present in Persona Christe, quietly makes this offering during the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is a most powerful expression of our bonds of love. The parish will provide a prayer card to the requester to commemorate the Mass and may be communicated as a loving and faith-filled gift to the family of the loved one. Requests and prayer cards may be obtained at the parish office.

The mission of the Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest (Father Stan) -a “holy wasting” (Mt 26:10) or lavishing of prayer. A Seven Sister: One Holy Hour, One Priest, Each Week, One Heart of Prayer. If you are interested and would like more information contact Joyce Harris at either 406 -334-3760 or jkh.1685@gmail.com.
