“Signs In the Heavens” A talk by Bryan Walsh
Sun., Sept. 17, 1 pm, in Fr. Adrian Hall. Find out what remarkable coincidence of heavenly bodies, i.e. sun, moon, planets, and stars, will soon happen in the sky. Some of what is about to occur is biblical in its propor-tions, and unprecedented in history. N.B. This is as-tronomy, not astrology.

Youth Schola
All youth in the parish who are in second grade or old-er are invited to join the Youth Schola. The choir sings on numerous Sundays and feast days throughout the year.

Rehearsals are Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-4:00PM, begin-ning September 27. All are welcome and there is no fee to participate. Please contact David Pedersen at the parish office for more information.

29 thru Nov. 17, (except Oct. 13). See information sheets and Registration Envelopes on the back table.
Dear Parishioners, When Adam and Eve were dismissed from the Para-dise of Pleasure, they had not yet conceived their first child. A fateful Friday. Cain’s birth—the first birth ever—was as miraculous and joyful as it is today. However, can you imagine the sorrow that accompa-nied it? The parents love of the child did not reopen those guarded gates. The world was now a hostile place; within seconds Cain was crying; their choice caused it to be so! The pains of childbirth included pains of conscience. In addition, the sweat of Adam’s brow would be necessary to provide for the newborn. The good news of genesis is that the seed of the woman—eventually—would be powerful. Power-ful enough to contend with the serpent. Powerful enough to be victorious! Paradise was not lost forev-er; security would return! Speaking of financial security, I need to com-mend your generosity and thank you for your thought-fulness. You have supplied the resources to take care of the parish, and even to carry out our recent renova-tions. Since buildings, and roofs and parking lots are constantly falling apart, there’s always more to do. We can blame Adam for this. We are currently preparing an annual finan-cial report to summarize the last fiscal year which end-ed June 30. In the meantime, we have expanded this bulletin’s weekly financial update. Please refer to the “Sunday Offertory” box on the reverse side. The “Operation” and “Capital Improvement” collections are the major sources of revenue for the parish, which account for about 92% of the annual budget. Some additional revenue is received in other categories, such as legacies, rent, stole fees, flowers, Catholic Virginian, etc., but they are not reported here. The collection is published for the previous Sunday, as well as the total fiscal Year-To-Date. These numbers are compared to the budgeted amounts for the same period. The Surplus or (Deficit) column of this chart makes clear how we are doing according to our budg-et. If you have questions, please—since he’s now back—call Fr. Gordon. Thank you again. God love you,
Fr. Novokowsky, fssp
Religious Ed Registration
Please register today between the Masses. Online registration is also available on our website under the Religious Education head-ing. Classes begin on Sun., Sept 17.
Saturday Confessions Extended
We are going to keep our 2 hours of Confes-sion time from 10 to 12 noon. Don’t wait for Sunday!
TODAY—Hurricane Harvey Relief By the grace of God, Regina Caeli, the Frater-nity Parish in Houston, has been spared any damage! Many of their parishioners, however, have lost everything. There will be a special collection today, Sun., Sept. 10 for the vic-tims. Make checks out to St. Joseph Parish, memo line: Hurricane Relief.
