FROM THE PASTOR S DESK... My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am very happy to announce TWO new initiatives in our parish. First, we will be starting an new apostolate for our young adults (age 21-40). The group will meet once a month for timely discussion, a meal, education and fellowship, along with a few field trips. I invite anyone from the parish in this age bracket to come to the first gathering at a Pot Luck Dinner after the 4 p.m. Mass on Saturday, September 29, in Mary s Room. Please see page 4 of the bulletin for more detail. Second, we are going to be part of the Troops of Saint George, a Catholic group for young boys up to age 18. This exciting endeavor will provide our boys with some wonderful opportunities for outside adventure, as well as spiritual growth. Stay tuned for more information. As September winds down, we approach a very busy month in the parish. October is our Respect Life Month. Check out the flyer in next week s bulletin to see all of the events that will take place: Stand for Life, Anointing of the Sick, Annual Pet Blessing, and, of course, our Annual 40 Hours Devotions. Please plan to come and be a part of all of these wonderful things. Please consider participating in our First Saturday and First Sunday events that take place each month. On the First Saturday, there is a Mass in the Extraordinary Form followed by devotion prayers, breakfast and a Spiritual Conference If you would like to grow deeper in your Faith, this is the group for you. Call me with any questions. On the First Sunday of the month, the 5 p.m. Mass is also in the Extraordinary Form. May God s blessings be yours this week. Fr. Ireland Sunday: Bishop Emeritus Anthony M.

No reservation ~ no fees ~ no requirements for membership, just a genuine desire to spend time in prayer for those who have dedicated their lives to serve God in His holy Church. In your charity, please remember the sick, the homebound and elderly, those confined to nursing homes, and all of their caregivers.

The Archangels, whose feast the Church celebrates on Saturday, September 29, are God s top angels. There are only 3 angels mentioned by name in the Scriptures: Michael: Referred to as the Prince of the Heavenly Host, he works on missions that involve fighting evil, proclaiming God's truth, and strengthening people's faith. Gabriel: Referred to as God s Holy Messenger, he communicates God's most important announcements to humans and specializes in helping people understand God's messages and apply them to their lives. Raphael: Referred to as the Healing Angel (his name means, Healing Power of God, ), he serves as God's main healing angel, caring for the health of people, animals, and every other part of God's creation. 40 DAYS FOR LIFE: SEPTEMBER 26 NOVEMBER 4. The next life-saving campaign is coming soon to locations around the world. Will you speak for those who cannot speak for themselves?
