RCIA Are you or your older child thinking about
baptism in the Catholic Church? Are you an adult
who was never confirmed? Join us Sunday, Sept
29th at 9 a.m. in the St. Julie Center as the RCIA
team gathers to talk about how
God calls us throughout life,
and the ways we can respond.
We would love to have you join
us to talk about this process!
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BEING A
LECTOR ? Members of our parish community proclaim
the first and second readings and the Prayers of the
Faithful at our Masses. We are now recruiting new
members for this ministry! Training consists of three
two-hour sessions where fundamentals are covered
and feedback and support are provided. Once you
have completed training, you can let Mary Heider
know which Mass time(s) you prefer, and you will be
scheduled approximately once a month or so, depend-
ing on the number of lectors available at each Mass.
If you have any questions, please call Mary in
the parish office, 254-6233. Training will begin in
mid-October. Thank you for your prayerful consider-
ation of this ministry!
LOOKING AHEAD TO
MISSION SUNDAY IN OCTOBER World Mission Sunday is the weekend of Oc-
tober 19 and 20 this year. The Holy Father, Pope
Francis, has called for a Synod on the Amazon, and in
keeping with that, the Missions Office in the Archdio-
cese of Cincinnati has chosen to highlight the life and
legacy of Sr. Dorothy Stang in our area.
If you receive envelopes, you will have a Mis-
sion Sunday envelope in your packet, but we will also
place special envelopes at the doors over the next few
weeks which you may use instead or if you are a visi-
tor to St. Helen. The envelope has a picture of Sr.
Dorothy, a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, and notes
that she was murdered in Brazil while trying to protect
the rights of the indigenous peoples and the Amazon
rain forest itself. Whichever envelope you use or if
you make your contributions through Faith Direct,
your donations will be in remembrance of Sr. Dot.

LIVING SALT & LIGHT TOM GORMAN
Tom Gorman was born in Youngstown, and arrived in this area 43 years ago to work at Wright Pat. He retired three years ago after a forty-year career with the Department of Defense. He and his lovely wife Denise were married in 1980, and joined St. Helen’s parish in 1983. While they were still very new members, as was the custom of the time the president of the parish council called and encouraged them to participate in one of the parish or-ganizations. Tom knew about the work of the Saint Vincent de Paul organization from the parish in which he was raised, and was aware of several people active in the ministry there. He likewise
felt called to help in that way, for he believed that SVDP’s work was good ‘Christianity in Action.” He therefore replied that SVDP was where he wanted to be involved. His wife also said she’d join, and Frank Heider, a prominent member of the ministry, -. welcomed them with open arms and introduced them to the other Conference members. Now Tom is finishing his second consecutive three-year term as President of St. Helen’s SVDP Conference (Fran O’Shaungessy was elected the new president just this month), after also serving in this capacity earlier in life. Return here next week to hear more about Tom’s reflections on the value, beauty, and importance of the mission of the SVDP, and why he continues to serve in this way after all these years.

MEDITERRANEAN DIET MADE EASY! Did you know — the Mediterranean style of eating is ranked #1
in the world for preserving health and extending life expectancy?
It's true! And the best part is that it can be quick, easy and satis-
fying for even picky eaters. This eating style includes a variety of
healthful grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, heart-healthy oils
with smaller amounts of dairy, seafood and poultry — it's a win-
ning combination that provides fiber, protein, healthy fats, vita-
mins and minerals, resulting in lower rates of heart disease and
some cancers! Come join us at St. Charles to learn more about
this healthful way of eating in from Monica Cengia, Registered
Dietitian-Nutritionist on Thursday, October 17 from 7 to 8:15
p.m. in the Borromeo Room. Four cookbooks with easy, family-
friendly recipes will be available for you to browse in addition to
recipe cards and handy information sheets. We'll also be raffling
off a 30-Minute Mediterranean Diet Cookbook. Please call the
St. Charles Parish Office for more information or to RSVP. All
are welcome!
