3 St. Joseph and St. Bernard catholic Parishes Calling all St. Joseph Parishioners! We are excited to announce the kick-off of our new Family Formation program. As we all know, the formation of our faith is a life-long process it doesn t stop just because we reach a certain age. With that in mind, we have created a program for ALL parishioners at all ages and stages of life. We will kick off this new program with a parish dinner on September 19th at 6:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. We ll supply everything just bring yourselves and your families for a fun-filled evening and more information on the program. After this night, we will meet the first and third Wednesdays of each month, with a parish meal on the first Wednesday. Confirmation and First Communion preparation will also take place during these Wednesday get-togethers. As the calendar turns to fall, it time to think about our annual Chicken Dinner. This year s dinner will be on Sunday, November 4th. On Monday, September 17th, we will have a planning meeting at 1:00 p.m. in the Parish Center Conference Room. Everyone is invited to this meeting.

If any of these questions apply to you or someone you know, we would love to help you or them on the spiritual journey!

To register, please call Catholic Charities at , or go to September 16, th Sunday in Ordinary Time We know the signs of defeat: slumped shoulders, downcast eyes, a chastened demeanor. For those of us sincerely trying to follow Jesus, defeat is inevitable. We commit to spending more time with our kids, but that one project still looms. We resolve to be a good person, but our selfishness strikes again. It can be easy to get discouraged over our moral failures. Today's Gospel is a small, intriguing look at this process in the life of St. Peter. First, Jesus' questions get the Apostles thinking about his true identity. This results in a confession of faith from Peter: "You are the Christ." Eager faith characterizes Peter's relationship with Jesus. First to follow, first to leap out of the boat, and, we know, first to deny. It's the latter tendency that manifests itself later in the Gospel. When Jesus predicts the Passion, "Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him." Jesus' rebuke in turn is stinging. While Peter's caution to Jesus is in private, Jesus intentionally turns back to the others as he declares, "Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." Like Peter, we rarely get it right all the time. Peter understood that Jesus was the Messiah, but he had a false concept of what that Messiah would accomplish. Jesus wants to make sure the rest of the disciples don't follow down the wrong road. The Christian life is a difficult one, as Jesus later tells the crowds. "'Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself.'" Yet the mercy of God is abundant. If we renew our trust and our efforts after a fall, every defeat is transformed into redemptive grace. "Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." We encourage our parishioners to patronize our sponsors. It is through their generosity that our weekly bulletin comes to you at no cost to the church. Our sponsor this week is: UEBELHOR & SONS INC Thank you to all the businesses who sponsor our bulletin.
