We are grateful to those who have built up St. Januarius to be a welcoming, active, and spiritual parish. With the Eucharist and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we strive to use the gifts and talents given to us by the Father to support the lives of parishioners at all age levels and stages of life. We also pledge to live our lives so that through our words and actions all may feel the presence of Jesus Christ in the world today.

Labor Day Mass will be 9:00 a.m. Seeking teacher(s) for the CCD program. As well as any adult or young teen who would like to help as an aide or substitute teacher. Thank you Michael Langhorst and Ray Valotta for all your hard work for the Pirate game. Everyone enjoyed themselves. If you, or someone you know, has questions about Jesus or the Catholic Church, and is not baptized, baptized in Protestant faith, or have not made their Holy Communion or Confirmation, please contact Fr. Ken. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: If in our heart there is no mercy, no joy of forgiveness, we are not in communion with God, even if we observe all of his precepts, for it is love that saves, not the practice of precepts alone. It is love of God and neighbor that brings fulfillment to all the commandments. And this is the love of God, his joy: forgiveness. He waits for us always! Maybe someone has some heaviness in his heart: But, I did this, I did that. He expects you! He is your father: he waits for you always! ~ Angelus address, September 15, 2013 May God s perfect peace and love remain with you always! ~ Fr. Ken Sick and Homebound Please pray for the following: MEETINGS COMING UP Overeaters Anonymous - Tuesday, Sept. 1. Contact Pastoral Council - August 31 Kevin D.

He was recalled to become abbot, and at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of Gregorian chant is disputed.
