In today’s reading, St Paul remind the Romans – and us – that all things come from God: “For from Him and through Him and for Him all things are.” Good stewards understand that all is gift and share generously the gifts of time, talent, and treasure with which they’ve been blessed.
THE RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA) is the process by which people become members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing with the Church community (doctrinal formation), living with the Church community (practical formation), praying with the Church community (liturgical formation), and serving with the Church community (apostolic formation). This gradual development culminates in the celebration of the initiation sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist at Easter time. Classes will begin again on Sunday, September 7, 2008 in the Parish Hall at 8:30am.
FOOD FOR THE POOR PROJECT - $1054.72 COLLECTED: VBS and Youth Ministry are still participating in the project to build a house for a family in another country that is badly in need of proper shelter. Through Food for the Poor, a house can be built for only $2,600. We are requesting that all kids in our parish and those that attended VBS, participate in this project by earning and donating money for the house to be built. Donations can be submitted in a marked envelope address “Food for the Poor Project” and place in the weekend collection basket. For further information, please see flyer in the entrance of the church or by contacting Stacie Albert at 830-391-0283.
SECOND COLLECTION: This weekend, a Salvatorian Brother will be joining us. He has worked for 19 years as a missionary in Tanzania, Africa. We will have second collections during the Masses to support the missionary work of Salvatorians in Africa. Please be generous. Brother Bogdan Koza, SDS will be staying in Falls City as the guest of Holy Trinity for a month.
SENIOR CITIZENS MASS & LUNCHEON: This Wednesday is our monthly Senior Citizens Mass and Luncheon at 10:30am in the Parish Hall. Please bring your favorite covered dish to be shared by all. Everyone is welcome to come.
FAITH FORMATION CLASSES WILL BEGIN THIS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27th.
B. I. B. L. E (Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth) – Make plans to attend a 24-week, “The Great Adventure – A Journey through the Bible” study program that will be offered on Tuesday evenings beginning on September 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 in the parish hall. Deacon Alan Crosby will be the facilitator for these classes. You do not need to be a member of the parish to attend. The suggested “investment” for this program is $50 which will cover the cost of books and materials. Financial assistance may be available. To register and/or obtain more information, contact Deacon Crosby at 216-4271 or . Additional information is also available at www.greatadventure.com where you can view a sample video. The books that will be used are scheduled to be available for pick up after weekend Masses.
We still need one more catechist for 9th grade. We also need assistants for Grades 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12. The schedule of classes is: Kindergarten 2:30 – 3:30; 1st through 3rd grades 3:30 to 4:45; 4th through 6th grades 5:30 – 6:45 and 7th through 12th 7:00 – 8:00. Eighth grade class will meet at the Parish Hall. All other classes will meet at the Faith Formation Building at 509 Titcomb. Contact Margie Crosby @ 216-4271 for more information.
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT NEEDED – The Faith Formation and Youth Ministry Programs are in need of a laptop with a compatible LCD projector and printer. If you or your company are updating laptops and have surplus equipment that needs a good home, please let us know.
REGISTRATION FOR FAITH FORMATION CLASSES Registration for Faith Formation classes will again be held after all Masses this weekend. Please be aware that:
* Even if you are a registered member of our parish, you must register your children for Faith Formation classes.
* Even if you previously sent you children to Faith Formation classes in our parish, you need to register them again for the new catechetical year.
Registration forms are also available on the parish website – www.blessedsacramentpoth.org. If you download the form from the website, be sure to complete both sides of the form. The suggested donation is $20 for the first child, $15 for the second child and $10 for the third child, however, no one should fail to send their child/children because of the inability to make a donation. The faith formation of all children and adults is the responsibility of every baptized Catholic and is a primary mission of our church.
YOUTH MINISTER We are looking for a Youth Minister to work primarily with our youth in grades 6 through 12. The mission of Youth Ministry is “to grow and strengthen disciples of Jesus Christ to help them become more integrated, empowered and actively visible in the life of their parish community.” The Youth Minister will be responsible for coordinating all youth activities sponsored by our parish and by the Archdiocese. These activities may be for the youth or activities sponsored by the youth. The Youth Minister must be familiar with and enjoy working with teenagers and pre-teens. Most work is done on weekends or evenings and averages 10 to 12 hours per week. This is a salaried position and is separate from the Coordinator of Faith Formation position. For more information contact the rectory.
PARENT GATHERING – Sunday, September 7 after 9:30 Mass at the Parish Hall - Some changes have been made to the Faith Formation Program. Come hear about the changes, meet the catechists and classroom assistants, and look at the materials your children will be using in their Faith Formation classes. For more information or to offer your assistance, contact Margie Crosby @ 216-4271
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A PAINTBRUSH? A few of the blackboards at the Faith Formation Building need to be painted or resurfaced. If you are able to take on this project, we’d love to hear from you.
PRAYER FOR THE SICK: May the Lord of Love and Mercy send the grace of healing and consolation upon all our sick in the Parish and in our community, especially: Connie Kollodziej (8/11), Wayne Wallace (8/11), James Pawelek (8/6), John Brandesky (7/2), Eunice Laskowski (6/1), Marleen Moczygemba (6/2), Hilario (Larry) Garza (5/11), Chester Yosko (5/9), Willie DeHoyos (4/30), Juanita Delgado (3/12), Richard Janek (3/5), Louis Flores (2/20), Alene Pruski (1/23), Elizabeth K. Wiatrek (1/16), Russell Mutz (12/5), Kyle Wiatrek . May He bless all who are in need of strength? For this, we pray to the Lord. Lord hear our prayer. Please call the rectory to add or remove someone from our list.
Unresolved guilt and grief from abortion can interfere with God’s loving plan for your life. Raphael’s Way to Healing, a retreat for men and women, will lead you on the simple steps of recovery from the wound in your heart. The retreat will be held on Sept 20 from 8:30 to 8 at a convenient and secluded location. The fee of $35 includes meals and all materials. Call Project Rachel at 342-4673 for more information.
