Come to pray and receive prayer for healing for yourself, a relative, neighbor or co-worker.

Eucharistic Adoration will be available on First Friday, September 7th from 9:00pm-6:30am. Let us show the Lord our love, honor and praise by visiting Him in the Blessed Sacrament. As Psalm 150 verse 1 and 2 indicate: "Praise the Lord! Praise God in His Temple! Praise His strength in heaven! Praise Him for the mighty things He has done. Praise His supreme greatness."

The Parish Picnic at Stricker's Grove is Friday, September 7 from 5:30-11:00pm. Admission and rides are free. Everyone is invited, especially those who worked at our Festival. Hamburgers, Metts, Hot Dogs and Beer will be sold at the picnic. Stricker's Grove does not allow beer/alcohol to be brought onto their grounds.

Prayer Shawl Ministry is giving and receiving. If you need to be wrapped in prayers, stop in to the Parish Office and receive a shawl that has been made especially for you and prayed over by fellow caring Christians. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, we meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10-11:30am in the Fr. Gratsch Room at the Parish Office.

Our goal is simple, to promote healthy relationships between fathers and their children and husbands with their wives. Is one hour a week sufficient to help promote these relationships?

Here are a few of the names who have participated or continue to participate. Feel free to call any of these men to learn more about F.A.T.H.E.R.S. We hope to see you on October 5th at 6:00am in Hilvert Hall.

1st and foremost, THANKS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU, for making our festival a great success. As soon as we have all the numbers we'll be publishing them in the bulletin.

Now I know that during the late summer months there have traditionally been a number of speakers at the Masses. One of those guests who visit our parish around this time are the Little Sisters of the Poor. Now I know that this comes right on the heal of our mission speaker Fr. Charles, and I am sorry for that. But I cannot say no to the Little Sisters. You see they are sort of hero's of mine.

I have a few people who have helped me in my life to lead me to the priesthood. Fr. Borgman S.J, Fr. Pigott S.J, Bishop Moeddel and my family. For the most part these have all been individuals with particular influences. The Little Sisters of the Poor have been a great collective influence in my life. The simple but yet consistent activity they offer to the needy and the sick, always reminds me of the great things we can accomplish if the people of God would do the same.

They live a simple life and have simple needs. The needs they do have are for the most part directed to their care for others. If you have ever had the opportunity to spend some time with one of the Sisters, I bet your life would be changed too.

For all you HIGH SCHOOL, AND COMFIRMATION students they offer many opportunities for service hours and volunteer time. Please consider lending them a hand.
