Lay Mission-Helpers

Whether serving as teachers, nurses, pastoral associates, accountants, or in other professions, our lay missioners are part of the broader mission of Jesus.

LMH Program Director, Janice England, is on her way to Sierra Leone to visit our lay missioners Sally Rojas, Kathy Kois and Nancy Magloire, as well as meet with the leadership of the Diocese of Makeni. Prayers for travel mercies and a fruitful visitation are greatly appreciated.

On this Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we remember that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. May God’s grace fill our homes, our families, and our communities today and always.

Today, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the US Catholic Bishops will consecrate the United State of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. https://www.osvnews.com/us-bishops-consecration-of-nation-to-sacred-heart-of-jesus-affirms-our-reliance-on-god/

We are thrilled to honor LMH Veteran Danita Kurtz with the Ernst Ophuls Award at our Rose Gala on October 4! Danita’s missionary heart led her to serve in Papua New Guinea and she continues to share her mission experience as a speaker representing LMH in the Missionary Cooperative Plan as well as many LMH events. Join us in celebrating her inspiring witness—and help make the Gala a success by becoming a sponsor. Learn more at www.laymissionhelpers.org/gala.

This weekend (June 6/7) LMH Program Director, Janice England, will be speaking at St. Leo Church in Versailles, KY thanks to the Mission Office of the Diocese of Lexington. She will share about our mission—and invite parishioners to journey with us through prayer and financial support. Pray for her and the community she will meet!

Grant us the same steadfast spirit: to stand for truth with humility, to love with sincerity, and to remain faithful even in difficult times.

For the values of sports. Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

Our Program Director, Janice England, will represent LMH as an exhibitor at the Called26 Conference at University of San Diego from June 1–3. We’re excited for the opportunity to share LMH’s work, build meaningful relationships, and make valuable new connections.
