Old St. Mary’s, now in its 186th year of faith and service to God’s people, and served by the Holy Ghost Fathers since 1893, extends a warm welcome to all! We are so happy to be gathered here worshiping God.
Our second collection today is for our Maintenance Fund. For a single day, on September 24, 2020, THIS THURSDAY, Fr. John Riccardo and his ACTS XXIX team want the entire country to stop what they’re doing and pray. The nation, torn by political and civil unrest, division and acrimony, desperately needs it, he contends. The grassroots idea for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting, sponsored by ACTS XXIX, a Detroit-based apostolate dedicated to parish renewal nationwide, was born after the team released a podcast episode about courageous leaders, said Fr. Riccardo, ACTS
XXIX’s executive director. In particular, Fr. Riccardo was struck by the need to pray for wisdom in order to discern what to be courageous about. His own prayers led him to the figure of Abraham Lincoln; Lincoln, in his great wisdom, had led the country in days of prayer, fasting and humiliation three times over the course of the Civil War. Old St. Mary’s will be open at 11:00 a.m. Mass will be at 12:15 p.m. The Divine Mercy chaplet will be recited at 3:00 p.m. Please join us
throughout the day for Mass or prayer. Go to https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=AxfhmfBNkzU to learn more about this National Day of Prayer and Fasting for our country.
Today’s Scripture passages from the Prophet Isaiah and St. Matthew’s Gospel remind us that God’s abundant generosity is never outdone, especially by earthly measure. Isaiah states: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. In the Gospel, the evangelist St. Matthew recounts a parable Jesus shared about heaven being like a property owner who welcomes laborers to his vineyard at different times yet generously pays them all equally. God bestows His abundant gifts upon us to share with our neighbors most in need. As Jesus professes, the last will be first, and the first will be last. St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippian community reminds us that Christ will be exalted through our productive toil. As Paschal stewards, we express our love of neighbor when we give time at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter and donate clothing and other items to our local St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Old St. Mary’s hosts the Tridentine Latin Mass on the first Friday of each month at 7:00 pm The next First Friday Tridentine Mass will be Friday, September 2nd at 7:00 p.m.
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is celebrated at Old St. Mary’s on the first Wednesday of the month. The next Anointing of the Sick will be Wednesday, October 7th at 12:45 p.m.

A PRAYER FOR THE SICK
Creator of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and join us in thanking you for all of your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

Remember in your prayers…..
Election Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, You told us to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God. Enlighten the minds of our people in America. May we choose a President of the United States, and other government officials, according to Your Divine Will. Give our citizens the courage to choose leaders of our nation who respect the sanctity of unborn human life, the sanctity of marriage, the sanctity of marital relations, the sanctity of the family, and the sanctity of the aging. Grant us the wisdom to give You, what belongs to You, our God. If we do this, as a nation, we are confident You will give us an abundance of Your blessings through our elected leaders. Amen.

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is a program designed for adults who are interested in discovering, developing and nurturing their faith as members of the Roman Catholic Church. The program welcomes adults who are not baptized, those baptized in another Christian faith as well as Roman Catholics who have never received the sacraments of Holy Eucharist or Confirmation. We also invite those who simply seek to deepen their love and understanding of Christ Jesus to join us. RCIA and children’s catechism will start in October. Please watch the bulletin for updates.
