3 September 18, 2016 Page 3 We Are Together At Mass When you choose to participate at Mass, you choose to feel God s living power. Pick up a hymnal. Read the readings. Respond with your voice. Feel the Word of God within you. Be an example for others, especially our young. Did you know that the lyrics of our hymns and songs are actually beautiful prayers selected specifically for that Mass? That makes our hymnal your prayerbook! If you are self-conscious about singing, participate by opening the hymnal and praying the text of the hymn as others sing. The Church encourages our full and active participation in the Holy Mass. When you sing, you encourage others to do the same. Please use the hymnal! Don t sing? Participate anyway by opening the hymnal and praying the text of the song as others sing. Don t miss out on the message! both Holy Communion and Confirmation The RCIA process is much more than a program; it is a learning & loving process in which conversion of the heart brings one to Christ in a powerful manner; it is an answer to the Gospel invitation, Come to me all you who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you.

PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Christ's followers were skeptical when He preached the reality of His Body and Blood as food and drink. St. John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer went about with Him." Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did not understand any more than those who left Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord," he said, "to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have the "Word of Eternal Life" right here with us day and night in our Adoration Chapel. Do you have something you want to ask Him? There are several hours needing adorers. Please pick one for your personal hour with Him.

They are ordinary people, JUST LIKE YOU, who generously volunteer their time to share their Catholic faith, values, and traditions with our youngest generation of Christians. In other words, is a person of faith who leads others to God through understanding of faith based on official teaching of the Church.

Our Religious Education program (CCD) is seeking enthusiastic people who want to set young hearts on fire with the love of God by sharing their faith. We are in need of two volunteer Catechists to teach on Wednesday 4th Grade or Thursday 5th grade. Classes are held in the evenings on Wednesdays from 5-6:30pm and Thursdays from 6:30-8pm. For those who may not be able to commit to every week but would like to be a Catechist, we are also in need of volunteers as substitute teachers and assistants for all grade levels. Listen to your heart and see if God is calling you to be a part of this very important and rewarding ministry. For those interested in helping children grow in faith and spirituality, please contact Mac Karaban, Pastoral Associate at or via at mkaraban@sjbrebeuf.org. THANK YOU! Catechesis is a pillar for education in faith.

14 Page 14 September 18, 2016 Wsoplnota Sw. Wincentego a Paolo 18 Niedziela Zwykła W dzisiejszej Ewangelii widzimy, że rozsądne decydowanie oznacza, że zdajemy sobie sprawę, że wszystkie nasze wybory w codziennym życiu są naprawdę wyborami życia wiecznego. Wstęp do nieba jest czyms, czego nie można kupić za pieniądze. Jedyna waluta, która ma jakąkolwiek wartość, aby zabezpieczyć nasze wejście do nieba jest to, że kochamy. Dzieki przekazaniu swojego daru Wspolnocie Świętego Wincentego a Paulo, wiem, że jesteś znakiem miłości Boga dla tych, którzy cierpią. Czy znasz rodziny potrzebujące pomocy? Proszę zadzwonić do Wspolnoty Świętego Wincentego, ktora może pomóc cierpiącym i ubogim. Wszystkie informacje będą ściśle poufne. Diakon Andy Beierwaltes Telefon: Droga wiary Obrzęd inicjacji chrześcijańskiej dla osób dorosłych jest procesem, w którym ludzie stają się członkami Kościoła Rzymskokatolickiego. Proces dotyczy ogólnej formacji osoby do: Wierzenia wraz ze wspólnotą Kościoła (formacja doktrynalna) Życia ze wspólnotą Kościoła (formacja praktyczna) Modlitwa wraz ze wspólnotą Kościoła (formacja liturgiczna) Służba ze wspólnotą Kościoła (formacja apostolska) RCIA ma służyć: * Nieochrzczonym, którzy chcieliby dowiedzieć się więcej na temat wiary katolickiej. * Osobom ochrzczonym w innej chrześcijańskiej denominacji, którzy chcieliby stać się katolikami. * Ochrzczonych katolików, którzy nie otrzymali Komunii świętej i Sakramentu Bierzmowania. Proces ten, zwany RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) to znacznie więcej niż program; jest to proces uczenia się i kochania, w którym nawrócenie serca przynosi jedno z Chrystusem w potężny sposób; to odpowiedzenie na wezwanie Ewangelii: Przyjdźcie do Mnie wszyscy, którzy utrudzeni i obciążeni jesteście, a Ja was pokrzepię. Jeśli Ty lub ktoś, kogo znasz (członek rodziny, przyjaciel, współpracownik) byłby zainteresowany dołączeniem do programu RCIA, prosimy o kontakt z biurem parafialnym, lub porozmawiać z ks.
