Help Wanted for Equal Exchange Interfaith Coffee Program

Supporting fair wages and fair trade—One cup of coffee at a time.

In May 2004, St. Andrew’s joined Equal Exchange’s Interfaith Coffee Program, offering organic, gourmet coffee, tea, cocoa, and chocolate to its parishioners. Over 13,000 places of worship and faith-based organizations across the United States participate in this program.

Equal Exchange works overseas providing assistance to struggling low-income farmers. Here in the United States, Equal Exchange supports those farmers by promoting Fair Trade—an alternative system of international trade that is rooted in the principles of human dignity, economic justice, and global solidarity.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS
TO CONTINUE THIS IMPORTANT WORK IN 2021 AND BEYOND.

St. Andrew introduces the Care for Creation Ministry.

During the Season of Creation, we celebrate the marvelous universe that God has created; we convert our ways of thinking and living to place ourselves more in harmony with all of God’s creatures; and we commit ourselves to taking actions to care for our common home, the Earth.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

Posted on by redpenguinweb

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen

ORACIÓN DE COMUNIÓN ESPIRITUAL
Creo, Jesus mio, que estas real y verdaderamente en le cielo y en el Santismo Sacramento del Altar.
Os amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo
Vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente venid al menos espiritualmente a mi Corazon.
Y como si ya os hubiese recebido, os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Senor, no permitas que jamas me aparte de Ti.
Amen
