3 FROM THE PASTOR S DESK... My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Reflecting on the thoughts of Pope Francis during his time in Ireland, let us continue to pray for all of our families. Let us remember in a most special way those who are struggling in any way. Let us also remember this Labor Day, the blessing found in work. While sometimes tedious, work can be a way for us to use our talents for the greater good. If we look to the example of St. Joseph we can find great inspiration for the challenges that we may face. St. Joseph, patron of workers, pray for us. As is our practice, we will gather at 9 a.m. in the Church to give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of work and for health that permits us to do the work. We pray especially for those who are not able to work or those who cannot find employment. After Mass, please join other parishioners for a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. I am so happy that our children at Corpus Christi Academy got off to such a wonderful start last Tuesday. They were full of smiles as they were welcomed back by an enthusiastic faculty and staff. We are so blessed to have such an awesome school. If you know someone looking for the finest in Catholic Education, be sure to tell them to consider our Academy. I received a letter from our newest seminarian, Eric Lee, this week. He is doing very well in Novitiate and sends his prayers and best wishes. Please remember him in your prayers as he was to receive the Dominican Habit this past Thursday, August 30 th. I also had the opportunity to visit with Joe McCarron this past week. He just returned to Borromeo to begin his third year of Seminary. It is hard to believe. Time flies! As you read this letter I will be in Italy. Please know that I will remember you and your intentions in my prayers as I visit the tombs of the saints. Please remember me and my fellow pilgrims from the Senior Class of the Lyceum in your prayers as we visit the sites of Rome, Florence and Assisi. May God s blessings be yours this week.

4 Marty Dybicz returns to the Parish Family Center on Wednesday, September 12, at 7:15 p.m. with a new monthly series ~ this time based on Brant Pitre s excellent book, The Case for Jesus, which shows that the Gospels are reliable sources for knowing that Jesus is God.

Reading is NOT required for participation in any session. ALL ARE WELCOME! See you there. Remember the Sick, Homebound and elderly; those in nursing homes and all caregivers: Marie Bernardo, John Burke, Barbara Gura, Aida Kinczel, Sally Rummel, E.

7 Parishioners, families, and Friends: What an exciting start to the school year at the Academy. It started on a high note as students, faculty and staff filled the halls with music, streamers, balloons and sidewalk chalk to welcome each other back. The students and staff strengthened their rapport, and students are excited to return to the Academy each day to see what new learning adventure our caring staff has in store for them. Last Thursday we welcomed our newest Eaglets to the Academy with a couple of hours of introduction on Thursday and a half-day of learning on Friday. The fullday program begins this Tuesday. We are so very excited to welcome these new students and families to the Corpus Christi Academy family! We look forward to our first all school mass on September 5 th. We thank the parishioners of both Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Clare parishes for their support. We ask you to keep us in your prayers, as we keep you in ours. All of us at the Academy invite parishioners, families and friends to visit throughout the school year and observe us in action.
