GOSPEL SUMMARY
Jesus told his apostles about the suffering He would endure. Peter, speaking for the group, simply couldn't believe that the great Messiah who would save Israel would have to go through such degrading events. Peter was thinking only in human terms and not about God's ways.
REFLECTION FOR FAMILIES
Like most parents, we try to protect our children from life's crushing blows, or at least hold them off as long as possible. It hurts us to see our children suffer disappointments, rejections, losses or defeats. Sometimes the easi-er choice is the one that goes unnoticed. For example, a teen preg-nancy that ends in abortion receives less attention than carrying the baby full term. Or not trying out for the position of pitcher is easier than having fans watch five walks in a row. Our children need our presence and support when they make the hard choices. We know from our own lives that they will grow from their experiences.

VOCATION AWARNESS September 3, 2017
Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time “Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow Me.”
The cost of discipleship may seem intimidating and even scary. However, we know that the cross which Jesus calls us to take up ultimately leads us to the empty tomb and the glory of the Resurrection. If you feel that God might be calling you to the vocation of priesthood, contact the vocations office for resources and support at
270-683-1545 and via the internet at: www.owensborovocations.com
Movie Day—”Invictus”(starring Morgan Freeman &
Matt Damon) is showing Sunday, September 17 in the Parish Hall from 2—4 pm. Theme: Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, initiates a
unique venture to unite the apartheid-torn land and enlists the national rugby team on a mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Action is great and the underlying messages are timeless. Popcorn and drinks provided. Appropriate for all age
groups. Please sign up in Narthex for setup purposes.
Congratulations: On Sunday,
September 10th, Cadiz Christian
Church will celebrate its 175th
Anniversary. St. Stephen has sent flowers in recognition of this milestone in their history.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES Religious Education Classes will resume on September 10, 2017 follow-ing Mass. Classes will meet in the Par-ish Hall each Sunday. To register your child, please contact April Washer at 270-522-7684 or the parish office at 270-522-3801.
Helping Hands Collection: The Cadiz local food
pantry and outreach organization, Helping Hands, had its start in St. Stephen Parish. Now as a community run agency, it continues to benefit from dona-tions, contributions and volunteer help supplied by local churches. Our Parish has designated the weekends of September 9/10 and 16/17 to collect laundry items (detergent, drier towels, bleach, softeners, etc.). Please contribute. Donation bins
can be found in the church Narthex.
