2 TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINAL TIME AUGUST 26, 2018 Music Notes Whether you've been here for a while or have moved to the area recently, if you have some musical ability we would love to have you involved in music in any capacity that you're able, instrumental or voice. As far as the choir goes our needs this year and the not too distant future: one or more tenors; one or more basses; (altos and sopranos are always welcome). If you haven't done this before, and, actually, even if you have, it takes about a full year to get a sense of the flow of the liturgical year and to become familiar with a lot of the repertoire (classical, contemporary, and world music). Participating in something like this can be challenging but it will not be a waste of your time. It s a fairly small group (about 20 or a little more) but is a highly intelligent and fun group of people to be with. We practice every Tuesday night from 7:30 to 9PM and we sing about three Sundays a month at the 11AM Mass. Please be in touch at: musicdirector@annunciationbvmparish.org; National Novena for the Legal Protection of Human Life The U.S. bishops urge our participation each Friday in a nationwide Novena for the Legal Protection of Human Life taking place August 3 September 28. Participants will receive weekly or text reminders to pray and fast, along with little-known facts about Roe v. Wade to share with others. Sign up at pray. An Invitation to Catholic Physicians and Health Care Professionals The Catholic Medical Association (CMA) is a national, physician led community of healthcare professionals that informs, organizes, and inspires its members, in steadfast fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church, to uphold the principles of the Catholic faith in the science and practice of medicine.

We are happy to announce the formation of the Greater Cincinnati Guild of the CMA designed to provide support, education, and fellowship for Catholic physicians and healthcare professionals in the area.

3 ANNUNCIATION PARISH CLIFTON, CINCINNATI, OHIO Special thanks to the anonymous donor who has gifted the Parish with a gold-plated paten (communion plate) in honor of a birthday celebrated this month. The paten completes a set which includes a gold chalice given to the Parish by a former parishioner and friend of Father James Kelly, our founding Pastor, in memory of her sister. Such generosity assures that we, God s Faithful Worshipers, continue to worship the Lord in beauty! Please consider supporting Parishioner Wolfgang Windholtz, as he works on his Eagle Scout Project: two sets of three wooden stands to be made for use here in Church. These stands will give greater flexibility and variety in the placement of flowers, arrangements and plants throughout the Church at Christmas, Easter, Weddings, Funerals, Feast Days, etc. Wolfgang has been conceptualizing and designing these stand for a while now, and hopes to have them ready for our use by this November. He estimates the cost of this project (materials and supplies) to be approximately $ He is the son of Parishioners Kelly and Mark Windholtz, nephew of Parishioner Philip Koenig, and grandson of the late Mary Koenig, a long-time parishioner of Annunciation. Please contact me, if you wish to support this Eagle Scout Project.
