Preparing for Next Week Read: Isaiah 55:6-9; Philippians 1:20-24, 27; Matthew 20:1-16 Key Passage: [The landowner] said Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous? (Matthew 20:14-15) Adult: What lessons do you draw from today s Gospel? How has God been generous to you in this way? Child: Who is generous to you, even when you do not always deserve it?

CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD (CLOW) We are still seeking a few adults willing to facilitate this program for the preschool children of our parish. CLOW is offered at the 11:00Mass starting September 24. Contact Cyndi in the parish office 239-5178, Ext 125 CATECHETICAL SUNDAY 2017 LIVING AS MISSIONARY DISCIPLES This weekend the Church celebrates Catechetical Sunday. The 2017 theme is "Living as Missionary Disciples." We are grateful to those who have answered the call to serve as catechists and disciples in our RCIA, Family Formation, Children's Liturgy of the Word programs and in our school Religion Classes. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. It is an opportunity for all of us to rededicate ourselves to this mission as a community of faith. BIBLES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED The St. Bernard Jail Ministry, served by Deacon Phil Hettich, is in need of soft-covered Bibles. If you would like to donate a new or used (soft-covered) Bible, please leave it on the table just outside the Church Sacristy in the Checkerboard Room. If you have any questions, please contact Deacon Phil at 239-7464. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SHARE CHRIST? Often, we think of Sharing Christ with others to be something that is done by those who serve or work for the Church. This call to be a witness to the Gospel is the role of each of the baptized. It is not done by going door-to-door... as the humorous cartoon depicts. It is accomplished by the way we live our lives and the way we interact with all whom we encounter. As the saying goes Preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words. Learn more about how you can accomplish your mission in our Sharing Christ Program, Mondays October 9 - November 20, 7:00-8:30 PM in the Checkerboard Room. No RSVP necessary.

(Mt 18:21) Kids make mistakes, are selfish, or sometimes just plain mean. Forgiveness does not mean there is no consequence for bad behavior. Don't fear to give a punishment, but wrap it in love and a way to earn forgiveness. By Susan Vogt, www.susanvogt.net LIVING ROSARY PROCESSION Children Wanted!
