Bible School… All children, little ones through the 12^th grade, bible school will begin this Sunday September the 23^rd. Classes start at 10:15am sharply and should run for one (1) hour.

 

Are you someone, or do you know someone who … has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic? Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized? Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation? Please see Father Ruane or call the Rectory at 226-2490.  RCIA… Our RCIA and Tuesday evening Mass will begin real soon, more on this later.

 

Family Life Center… As a result of our discussion at out pastoral council meeting this past Thursday evening, September the 20^th we decided the following:

1. No charge to members of our church family – ONLY!

2. For all others even friends of parish family members, there will be a reasonable charge of $200.00.

3. We decided to give a list of requirements to the person responsible for securing the building and these will be given to that person before hand.

4. The rental fee should be paid before the building is used.

5. We have a beautiful Family Life Center and we are trying to keep it that way.

 

Small Group or Groups…   Since we have completed the, “Why Catholic?” groups I have found a very interesting topic that some of you might enjoy entitled “Seven Secrets of the Eucharist” A list is provided at the entrance of the church. If there is sufficient interest I will proceed to get the books.

Choose Life…  “Abortion has become a personal and social eraser of choice for our unwanted, ill-timed, and ‘defective’ off-spring. With mainstream mental professional associations…advising that abortion is psychologically safe, women and men have embraced abortion as a stress reliever. Yet the evidence is mounting that abortion carries serious and significant mental health risks.”

 

Quotes …

1.We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.”  (Robin Sharma, Author of, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari)

 

Sick or In The Hospital … Just a friendly reminder because of the Hospital confidentiality requirement, if anybody you know from our church family please let us know so we can be sure to visit them.
