A Note From Sr. Mary Rose…
Sunday, September 20 is Catechetical Sunday.
The Catechists will be commissioned at the 10:45
a.m. Mass. CCD classes are in session. The Cate-
chists will dismiss the children in grades 1, 2 and 3.
I ask that the parents bring the children to church
for the 10:45 Mass. Grades 8 and 9 will be taken to
church by the Catechists and parents can meet
them in the church for the 10:45 Mass. I ask that
the children in the Thursday CCD classes and par-
ents also attend the Mass.
~The first Parent Meeting for all CCD parents is
scheduled for Wednesday, September 30 at 7
p.m. in the Parish Hall. Please mark your calendars
and make every effort for at least one parent to at-
tend.
~We celebrate a children’s Mass every Sunday at
10:45 a.m. All children and parents are encouraged
to attend.
YANA
Our Parish Bereavement Support Group will meet
on Wednesday, October 14 from 7:30 p.m.-9 p.m.
in the Parish Hall. Our Support Group is open to
anyone (parishioner or non-parishioner) who has
suffered the loss of a friend, relative or a loved one.
There is no charge and reservations are not re-
quired. All you need is an open mind and an open
heart. Let us try to help you through this time of
grief.
Holy Father’s Prayer
Intentions for September
We pray that opportunities for edu-
cation and employment may in-
crease for all young people. We also
pray that catechists may give wit-
ness by living in a way consistent
with the faith they proclaim.
RCIA
RCIA is a process of faith formation for people
who may wish to become a member of the Catholic
Faith Community. Some people may not have any
religious affiliation and may not have been baptized.
This may be for you! Some people may have been
baptized in another religion or faith tradition but
wish to become Catholic. This may be for you!
Some people may already be Catholic through Bap-
tism but have never received the Sacraments of Ho-
ly Eucharist and/or Confirmation and now want to
do so. This may be for you! For more infor-
mation, please contact Fr. Kevin.

Stewardship Reflection
“If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last
of all and the servant of all.” (MARK 9:35)
Jesus teaches us that we are called to serve one an-
other. Sacrifice is not a word that many people like
to hear. We think it means that we must give up
something that we want. However, the literal mean-
ing of sacrifice is “to make holy,” from the words
“sacer” = sacred and “facere” = to make. In other
words, we make our lives holy by sharing our gifts in
the service of God.
We have an obligation to share with others, that
which God has given us. Share your time, and tal-
ents. Men and women can become involved in the
life of our Parish by becoming an Altar Server,
Catechist, Choir Member, Lector, and/or Ush-
er. By taking an active role in the liturgical life, and
service of the Parish, you can have a wonderful ex-
perience. Feel free to fill out the form on the bottom
of this page, and drop it in the collection basket or
call the rectory.

Today is National Grandparents Day!
The impetus for a National
Grandparents Day originated
with Marian McQuade, a
housewife in Fayette County,
West Virginia. Her primary
motivation was to champion
the cause of lonely elderly in
nursing homes. She also
hoped to persuade grandchil-
dren to tap the wisdom and
heritage their grandparents could provide. In 1978,
President Jimmy Carter, proclaimed that National
Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year
on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
Blessing of the Animals
In honor of the kind and gentle saint,
St. Francis of Assisi, all creatures
great and small are invited to be
blessed Saturday, October 3 at 2
p.m. in the Church parking lot.
