FROM OUR PASTOR

This week-end we are privileged to participate in the Archdiocesan Missionary Plan. As the Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, when he was the National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, "some give to the Missions by going; some go to the Missions by giving." In fact Pope John Paul II added care for the missions to the already six laws of the Church. He wanted to stress the duty of all believers to spread the good news. A Comboni Missionary, Fr. Ruffino, will be making the mission appeal. I will be preaching the retreat for the Secular Order of Carmelites this week-end. Please keep us in your prayers.

LEADERSHIP NIGHT is on Monday, August 30, 7:30-9:30 pm. The elected members of the Parish Council, Education Commission and Worship Commission, as well as the appointed members of the Finance Council, are expected to attend. Also, I expect all the volunteer organizations of the Parish (those listed on the front cover of the bulletin) to send their officers to this meeting. Leisa Anslinger will be our presenter for the next step on “Growing An Engaged Church”. I look forward to seeing all of you there.

MISSIONARY COOPERATIVE PLAN

Funds collected go to people-related projects in Africa and Latin America such as refugee resettlements in the Sudan, Uganda and Congo; AIDS prevention and AIDS orphans assistance; training lay and religious missionaries; women’s education at the secondary level; establishing wells and other sources of safe water for desert dwellers in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Kenya.

A MODEL OF THE ROSARY MEMORIAL GARDEN is on display in the greeting room along with the brochures and order forms. Praying the Rosary in our forth-coming Rosary Memorial Garden will be a wonderful way to remember our beloved dead.

Please take the Traveling Chalice into your home for one week as a reminder to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Call Debbie at 922-2414. Thank you to Tracy and Howard Hughes Family who took the Traveling Chalice into their home.
