The Collection of September 2nd totaled TBA. The money that is donated from our weekly collections is the only source of income to support our parish. Our weekly expenses reflect the minimum needed for all the church s utilities, insurance fees, salaries, ongoing maintenance, repairs, and numerous other bills for operating expenses as well as the increasing costs for the many, many parish programs, ministries and services we offer here at OLG If possible, if each of our parishioners could just increase your weekly contribution, BY ONE OR TWO DOLLARS it would greatly help offset the increasing costs faced by our church. We genuinely understand that these are difficult economic times and it s not easy for any family to sacrifice even more right now. We want to assure you that every single penny donated goes right back into our church, the operations of our church and our parish programs. Once again, thank you for your continuing generosity.

A Prayer for the Anniversary of 9/11 O God, our hope and refuge, in our distress we come quickly to you. Shock and horror of that tragic day have subsided, replaced now with an emptiness, a longing for an innocence lost. We come remembering those who lost their lives in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. We are mindful of the sacrifice of public servants who demonstrated the greatest love of all by laying down their lives for friends. We commit their souls to your eternal care and celebrate their gifts to a fallen humanity. We come remembering and we come in hope, not in ourselves, but in you. Our goal for the Annual Catholic Appeal is $46,277. As of today, our total amount pledged is $51,678. Rosary & Divine Mercy Devotion will resume Friday, September 14th.

Please call the rectory to place your loved ones on the sick list. Additionally, all sick list members MUST be called and renewed at the beginning of each month or will be removed. Thank you.

In commemorating this tragedy, we give you thanks for your presence in our time of need and we seek to worship you in Spirit and in truth, our guide and our guardian. Amen.
