Please call the office ( ) if any of the following appeals to you. 1. Light landscaping at the Rectory and between the Church and adjacent building. Most of the work is trimming, pulling shrubs, digging up plants and cleaning under the deck. 2. Consultant. We are looking for someone with electrical, engineering, plumbing, or contracting expertise to work with the Finance Council regarding construction proposals, etc. as the need arises. Attendance at Finance Council meetings is not necessary as most consulting can be done at the church or through . More than one person is even better! We have a wealth of expertise in the parish and we are hopeful you will share this knowledge. Please help us with these behind the scenes opportunities!

FAITH FORMATION NEWS Faith Formation Classes to Start Our first Faith Formation Class will be held on Sunday, September 9. Kindergarten classes will begin on Sunday, October 14. Families and the Gospel John 6:51-58 In today s gospel, Jesus speaks of eating his flesh and blood. Parents can identify with this, for they often feel devoured by all the demands of family life. This is unavoidable for children grow in the soil of sacrificial love. Parenting is not part time work. It is a consuming lifetime commitment.

3 TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME COMMUNITY NEWS AND INFORMATION Catholic Christians are called to feed the hungry!! Join the fight against hunger in our community! The feeling of running on empty is a reality for more than 5 million Pennsylvanians. We need to make sure that no child, adult, or senior in our community ever runs on empty. Please get involved and join the fight to end hunger! The food item for the Huntingdon Area Food Bank for the month of August will be Juice Boxes and Snack Crackers. Toilet tissue and soap are always accepted. DIOCESAN NEWS AND INFORMATION Bus Trip Back by Popular Demand! On Thursday, August 30th, St. John s parish in Altoona is sponsoring a second bus trip to Washington, DC to visit the new Museum of the Bible and the National Geographic Museum. A visit to the Museum of the Bible truly makes the Sacred Scripture come alive! At the National Geographic Museum, we will experience an exhibition entitled the Tomb of Christ, which takes us on a 3-D photographic journey into the very heart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. We will be departing at 6:30 from St. John s parking lot, and returning by 11. The cost is $90 per person, which includes travel in a luxury coach, admission to both museums, and dinner on the way home. For reservations, please call St. John s in Altoona at Thank you...and Farewell For many decades The Friar s Shop (Loretto, PA) has served the local community providing religious gifts for every occasion. Through the years we have often sold both baptism and wedding gifts for the same recipient. It has been a true pleasure to build relationships with so many faithful, regular customers. However, times have changed a great deal. It is hard for any brick and mortar store to compete with the online giants. It is with great sadness that we must announce that the Friar s Shop, Loretto PA is closing. Our last day of operation will be Saturday September 15 th. We will be offering storewide discounts to help reduce inventory. We thank you all for your friendship and support through the years! May God Bless you all.
