4 The Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - August 12, 2018 Do you feel something missing in your life? Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic faith? Do you have friends or family members who are questioning what Catholicism is all about? Do you have Catholic family members or friends who have fallen away from the faith? We invite and welcome you and them to investigate the truth about Catholicism by joining the RCIA group here at OLMM Parish, which will resume in September. RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a program designed to help non-catholics and nonpracticing Catholics learn more about Catholicism through a series of classes, discussions and prayer. RCIA helps people grow in faith and knowledge and a relationship with Jesus as they consider becoming Catholic. If you feel the RCIA process is something you or a friend/family member might be interested in, please contact Sherry Impastato at simpastato@olmmparish.org or I look forward to hearing from you, God bless, Sherry Impastato B e f o r e t h e F a i t h Formation Office closes the door on VBS 2018; we want to thank the 65 children and their families, 7 new families to VBS; 24 junior high volunteers, 16 high school volunteers and 13 adult and young adult volunteers that joined us each day with our crafts, snacks, KidVid, teambuilding games, cool Bible songs and stories that all helped our faith joyfully come alive!

The Women of Grace Foundational Study, FULL OF GRACE: WOMEN AND THE ABUNDANT LIFE is a dynamic program for Catholic women, encouraging study participants to come to a fuller understanding of their dignity and vocation as daughters of God.

As they learn the great gift of authentic femininity and how to live it out in the world today, hearts are healed, lives are changed, and souls are saved!

Below are just a couple of the CD titles available in our Lighthouse Media Collection: The Forgotten Virtue: Pathway to Holiness God opposes the proud but bestows favor on the humble. (1 Peter 5:5) In this revealing talk, Fr. Casey shares how wisdom and blessings come through a healthy cultivation of the virtue of humility, and he equips us to be vigilant in avoiding that often subtle temptation and danger to the soul, which is pride. He shows how humility allows us to see things, and ourselves, as they truly are, and how pride makes us prone to serious mistakes, both in our spiritual and practical lives. At the end of this presentation is a bonus segment from Confession by Fr. Larry Richards. Praying the Rosary Like Never Before Dr. Edward Sri is a nationally sought Catholic speaker who appears regularly on EWTN, and is a founding leader of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students). In this discussion of his book "The New Rosary in Scripture: Biblical Insights on Praying the Twenty Mysteries" (Servant Books), Dr. Sri shares John Paul II's practical strategies for praying the Rosary better, so that you can encounter Jesus more deeply in prayer.
