2 Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 2 Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 6, 2015 Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs to the kingdom? James 2:5 FEAR NOT In these times, there is plenty to be afraid of, if we only look around. It seems that every day the news media have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism, drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring morning news. What more do we need before we realize that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we can do to make our world better, ultimately there is a lot that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving God says, Be strong, fear not! We must do what we can to make our world a better and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ultimate safety is in the hands of God. We can be comforted by the realization that God loves us beyond measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to make our world a loving and safe place for everyone. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

4 Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 MESSAGE FROM FR. ROLAND It's been a good couple of months since I started my assignment. Again, I wish to thank you for your warm welcome and for making my transition smoother and easier than I anticipated. I am having a great summer so far and I hope you are as well. Our school is now back in session and I have had the great opportunity to meet all the students in their classes. I look forward to helping them grow in their faith and love for the Lord. Also, I love how our parish is situated in a quite and peaceful town where all our children can have a wonderful, close-knit and loving church community to grow along with and into. Just a few Sundays ago, we heard from John's gospel how many of Jesus' followers went back to their former way of life and when he asked Peter if he would leave also, Peter replied, "Lord, to whom shall be go? You have the words of eternal life." Along those similar lines, we do have a great and wonderful thing going here at our parish. It's something not only we wish to continue but more so build upon and make stronger. Moreover, may we continue to be instruments of God's love and remain faithful stewards of all His graces. Sincerely, Father Roland >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Giggles: Patient: Doctor: Doctor, I broke my arm in different places. If I were you I wouldn't go back to those places! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Boy: The computer may have beaten me at chess but no match to me at kickboxing! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Boy: I never wanted to believe that my Dad was stealing from his job as a road worker.

I gave him a glass of water.

Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 6 de septiembre de 2015 Acaso no ha elegido Dios a los pobres de este mundo para hacerlos ricos en la fe y herederos del Reino? Santiago 2:5 NO TEMAN En estos tiempos, hay muchas razones para temer, con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal parece que cada día los medios de comunicación tienen más malas noticias que anunciar: guerras, enfermedades, terrorismo, sequía, disturbios sociales, y mucho más. Algunas personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma chillona y no de las malas noticias matutinas. Qué más necesitamos para darnos cuenta de que somos criaturas limitadas, y aunque hay mucho que podemos hacer para mejorar nuestro mundo, en última instancia hay mucho que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto, nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: Ánimo! No teman. Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nuestros límites y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios. Nos puede servir de consuelo la realización de que Dios nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro para todos. Copyright J. S.

6 September 6, 2015 Page 6 SCRIP is Fundraising While You Shop! Scrip is simply a term that means substitute money. Scrip fundraising allows our parish family to raise money for our Catholic school by using gift cards, or scrip to pay for everyday purchases. Families can buy gift cards using cash or checks after weekend Masses, at the School Office, or order online at and pay face value. The school orders the gift cards from Great Lakes Scrip Center for less than face value, and the school gets to keep the difference, or rebate; that s where the fundraising comes from. It s really that simple! When families use scrip gift cards instead of cash, checks or credit cards at their favorite retailers, they are fundraising while they shop. Our Scrip program offers a huge variety of retailers, including grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations and so much more, so it s easy to make scrip a part of any shopping routine. Just by regularly using scrip for weekly purchases, a single family can easily generate $500 or more annually for the school. Thank you for your support through SCRIP!! 10th ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE ST. TERESA OF AVILA PARISH September 11th & 12th 8:00am to 4:00pm Can you believe it? It's that time of year when we ask that you start cleaning and thinning out closets, garages and storage units of all the "stuff" you don't even remember saving! That's right--we all do it and then we are challenged to sort through and donate. We will be open for drop off donations on Monday, Sept. 7th through Wednesday, Sept. 9th from 8:00am to 3:00pm in the parish hall. We are accepting items such as household items, clothing, toys, jewelry, kitchen items, sport, etc.--- We can't accept large appliances, encyclopedias, exercise equipment, computers or mattresses. Also, we could use newspaper & brown grocery bags. Any questions call ext. 10 or Religious Education (RE) has something for everyone in 2015/16. We are offering the standard RE studies grades K-8 including the Sacrament s (1 st Communion & Confirmation), as well as, two new formats. Traditional RE will be held as always on Sunday mornings from 9:15 10:15. In addition, we are offering Whole Group RE Learning on Thursday evenings from 4:30 5:30. This program, which is similar to learning in a one-room school house, has all of the student s learning together in a controlled environment. It is a different model of learning but the content of the study follows the traditional program. Lastly, we offer a new opportunity for Family Faith Formation. Parents and children primarily complete their formation at home. Support is provided through monthly gatherings from September through April on the second or third Sunday from 11:45 2:45. This is where the entire family comes together to share a meal, discuss what they have learned and to participate in an engaging lesson. These are great opportunities to interact with each other in a variety of ways and to enhance the learning experience for everyone. For more information or to volunteer please call
