WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY January 22 -- 29, 2012
Prayer for an Ecumenical Heart
O generous and loving God, we praise and thank you for your gifts.
We acknowledge our failure to heal the divisions that exist among the followers of your Son, Jesus Christ.
We pray for your help and guidance to overcome the barriers that continue to separate Christians.
We ask that the power of the Holy Spirit be fully alive within us;
and for your love to give us the strength to mend the hurts that separate the followers of Jesus.
Help us to build bridges of love and understanding with all humanity.
May the love and forgiveness of Jesus guide us each day
as we journey with our sisters and brothers in Christ's name.
We pray for the day when it will truly be said of all who follow your Son, Jesus Christ,
"They love one another as Jesus loves."

Closing of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Gospel – Mark 1:21-28
The gospel tells of a typical day of Jesus. He first teaches in the synagogue and then performs the miracle of exorcism. Jesus is presented to us as the prophet like Moses, who teaches with the authority of God and whose words are obeyed even by unclean spirits. There is no power on earth greater than the power of God at work in Jesus. Questions to ponder:
Ever considered ....?
"We do not live by bread alone" says Jesus. How do you attend to our spiritual hunger? Where can you belong to a faith family? Ever considered joining the Catholic Church? The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) invites non-baptized women and men to enter a period of inquiry - a period of asking questions about the faith of Catholics and of life in our parish community.
A Message from our Pastoral Team
Whether you are a new parishioner, a new resident to our community of Humboldt, or simply wondering about joining a church, we extend a warm welcome. Thank you for making the effort to get to know our faith community of St. Augustine! Please click "Continue reading ..."
Parish Offering and Diocesan Support
The financial support of St. Augustine's parish by parishioners makes possible the programs, faith education opportunities and services available to all parishioners.
Participating in the work of the Lord – in the work of the church – is a practice that must be established early in life. Waiting for the day when one “has enough and can now afford to share,” interestingly, never arrives. God deserves God's portion – in fact, it all belongs to God. We are merely called to be good stewards of God’s generous gifts.
Let the little children come ...
Let the little children come to me and do not stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. (Mark 10:14)
For Baptism, please contact Sr. Loretta at the Parish Office.
