STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT: In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” Have you given real thought lately to how good God has been to you? Do you give in proportion to what God has given you? STEWARDSHIP SUMMARY: We have drawn spiritual and academic life from our parish and Catholic schools. What return will we make of these

gifts? As the good steward of the Gospel, shall we give to God sufficient return for our gifts? Consider a life-culminating gift through your Will.

REAL PRESENCE RADIO Local Catholic Radio Station. Listen online to Real Presence Radio station 104.1 MHz FM

MARRIAGE MOMENTS: Be prepared! Jesus tells us to be ready for the final coming. (Luke 12:40) How can we be prepared without money and possessions? Discuss how much is enough? PARENTING POINTERS: August 9th was the anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan. It is a somber anniversary even though it may have shortened the war. Teach your children how to make peace. See the “Family Pledge of Nonviolence” for a start. (Susan Vogt at www.SusanVogt.net)

This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday of September 15, 2019. The 2019 theme will be “Stay with Us.” Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

ALTAR SERVERS: Children who are baptized Catholic & have received their First Holy Communion are eligible to become Altar Servers. If you are interested in becoming an altar server, please contact the Parish Office.
