Welcome Home… we all extend a warm welcome home to Father Ruane, back from his, well deserved vacation. We really missed you while you were gone. We all hope you had a Wonderful time in Ireland visiting family and friends. Welcome Home!

 

Labor Day… It sounds like a contradiction, but on Labor Day everybody usually rest from his or her labors. We encourage parishioners to participate in Mass, and to make it a little easier for those who would like to rest a little bit, even those who have no jet lag Mass on Monday morning will be at 9:00am. 

 

Special Breakfast… We will have a special breakfast next Sunday after our 9:00am Mass to show our support and our love for our young people in bible school. We would like as many of our parishioners as possible to participate in this breakfast, for a happy and enjoyable time together, as one big family.  

 

Bible School… Instructions in our Catholic Faith, is one of the more important elements of any Church Family. We are hoping and praying that all of our children, little ones through 12th grade, through the efforts of their parents, will participate in our bible school classes each Sunday morning, beginning at 10:15am for one hour.  Registration will be after Mass this Saturday & Sunday and also after Mass next Saturday & Sunday. 

 

The Catholic University of America… is the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, located in Washington, D.C. It provides an academically rigorous education guided by Catholic intellectual tradition to nearly 7,000 students every year. Next week is the National Collection for the Catholic University of America. Every donated dollar directly supports financial aid for students from dioceses across the country, including ours. Please be generous. 

 

Changes In The Mass… What differences can we expect in November? From the first Sunday of Advent congregations and priests will use the texts of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal for the celebration of Mass. While the structure, actions and pattern of the Mass will remain the same and the reading will be unchanged, the texts of recited prayers will sound different in our ears. Over time, as the new style of language becomes familiar to us it is very much hoped that We will come to appreciate both the richness and depth of our prayer at Mass.

 

My Dear Church Friends… I’ve finished my Chemo treatments and would like to say how grateful I am for all of your prayers, your cards, telephone calls and concern. I especially want to thank Father Ruane for remembering me at Mass, his calls, prayers and encouragement. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless each of you. Joan Westin

Choose Life… On Labor Day, let us celebrate those who work to support their families and whose dedicated labor also supports our nations growth. Especially let us remember those who work in support of protection for the right to life of the unborn, the elderly and the medically dependent.
