Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,

For most of us, it’s not easy to

ask for help! But...

Do you know someone who may

need a little help around the house or

out in the community?

Caring Hearts ministers are

standing by to help! (Privacy assured.)

Call Deacon Randy 465-0653 or the office

458-6114.

The Nursing and Homebound Ministry is being revitalized under a new name,

Caring Hearts Ministry, and we are looking for new volunteers as well as persons requesting a hand.

Examples of the type of help this ministry can provide are companionship, running errands,

and bringing Eucharist to folks in a care facility, and the same for those living at home plus

daily telephone check in, household tasks, light home maintenance, and other requests that may arise. A special notice will appear in the bulletin under the heading, “Caring Hearts

Need (or Question) of the Week.” If you have an interest in serving or have a request

or know of a person with one, contact the office at 458-6114 or Deacon Randy at 465-0653.

CATHOLIC SPIRITUAL WEEKEND

This new Catholic Journey is for Catholics seeking a deeper understanding and commitment to their role as laity in

the church. We also invite non-practicing Catholics, non-Catholics of other Christian

denominations, and even those of non-Christian faith or no faith to attend.

It is an opportunity to experience a weekend of Catholic spirituality as lived in a group of Catholic laity, who share with them the Catholic community, reflections on the Catholic faith, and Catholic prayer

and spirituality.

All

are

invited!

All

are

welcome!

Women’s weekend: September 19—22 (Contact Laura Glueckert 459-8128) Men’s weekend: September 26—29 (Contact Jim Schweyen 227-7496)

Weekends begin 7 pm Thursday and end about 4:30 pm Sunday.

This weekend, parishes across the US will take up the Catholic Home Missions Appeal. This year, the collection will fund

over $9 million in grants for 79 dioceses. The bishops' Subcommittee on Catholic Home Missions is a grant-making agency. It offers financial

support to missionary activities that strengthen the Catholic Church in the United States, and in its territories and former territories. Through its annual fundraising campaign, the Catholic Home

Missions Appeal, Catholic Home Missions educates American Catholics about mission needs and invites them to assist fellow Catholics in the practice of the

faith. Please consider how you can help!

Do you hold a small piece to help solve this puzzle?

OLV is UNDER our ACA goal by $9,766

OLV parishioners need to be good neighbors!

When traveling to and from our church, please remember to drive slowly through the

residential areas along Shirley Rd and Center Dr,

and park in the OLV parking lot for all church-related activities.

Thank you!
