Young Church Faith Forma on Religious Educa on St. Barnabas Youth by Simeon Willis Fun & Witness at the Mtn. State Fair: On September 15, all teens have the opportunity to have fun and witness at the NC Right to Life Booth, and the Catholic Apologe cs Booth. I can take up to six teens in the order you RSVP. Schedule: Mee ng at the fair's main entrance (Gate 7) at 8:45am. Booths: 9am noon. Free rides: noon 2:30pm. Pickup: 3pm at Gate 7. Please bring your own lunch or be ready to buy it. Note: to come, you do not need to be an expert on sharing your faith or on pro life issues. People generally do not want to argue, but to thank you (for the pro life stance) and to be welcomed by you at the apologe cs booth. (Most visitors there are former Catholics who are not there to argue but are looking for a chance to be welcomed back.) Adults will be present to support you. If any parents are interested in being a chaperone, please also RSVP. This event is a great way to strengthen your own faith through sharing it. Confirma on Orienta on for 2018 2019 Class, Sunday, September 16 at 10:00am in St. John XXIII. All youth who are par cipa ng at Mass weekly and are at least thirteen years old may a end the orienta on. It is mandatory for receiving the Sacrament. At least one parent must also a end. I look forward sharing the journey to Confirma on with you! On the recent abuse revela ons: We are all sickened, saddened and enraged by the evils done and covered up by the hierarchy of the Church, perhaps all the way to the top. I cannot fathom the level of pain the vic ms have suffered over the years, especially when their stories were ignored and silenced by those who should have been most a en ve. This is a dark me for the Catholic Church. What should our response be? 1. "Don't leave; LEAD" (Fr. Mike Schmitz). Don't leave Jesus because of Judas. The Church has always had many like Judas who have betrayed God and His people, but the Church does not belong to men. It belongs to God. God will never betray you, and He asks you to lead the Church to healing. Never lose hope. Remain in the Church. The scandals were caused by infidelity to the Church; let us be faithful. 2. Be angry for the purpose of change. Demand inves ga ons be performed and jus ce brought. Don't just vent, but be construc ve and respec ully write to our bishop to publicly support an inves ga on into the claims of Bishop Vignano against McCarrick, Wuerl, etc., and including Pope Francis himself. Bishop Peter Jugis, 1123 S Church Street, Charlo e NC 28203. 3. Fast and pray for the Church. Satan is real, and this is a spiritual ba le. We have been given more power than we realize in the Mass, the Sacraments and the Rosary. Pray the Rosary daily for the Church, the pope, bishops and priests, make sacrifices, go to Mass and Confession. TREASURES B FROM OUR TRADITION ack to work we go! Summer break is over and there is much to accomplish in school and in the workplace. It s a venerable Catholic custom to assign patron saints to the trades and occupa ons of life. This is largely in the realm of popular devo on, and although from me to me the Va can declares a saint to be patron of this or that, the process is free wheeling and just about uncontrollable. S ll, there is a saint for almost any purpose, whether you are on death row (Dismas), having eye trouble (Lucy), or pursued by poisonous toads (Hubert). Medieval guilds would o en associate themselves with heavenly patrons, so Saint Joseph has the carpenters, Thomas More the lawyers, and physicians get Saint Luke. If you re stuck in the airport, St. Joseph of Cuper no is on call since he was said to rise off the floor when he prayed, and if you re in a long line at the ATM, Saint Anthony Claret is for you. In recent years, the Va can has from me to me assigned a new patronage, as when Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was named the patron of HIV AIDS pa ents, since as a young Jesuit novice he had cared for his fellow novices during a terrible plague. Anything that ma ers to us na on, parish church, occupa on, illness can have a patron, and it is an aspect of Catholicism that has enormous appeal. To believe in the communion of saints is to know that the es that bind us as a communion do not unravel with death, and that when we stand before life s struggles, we do not stand alone. Who is your patron saint? Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Everyone throughout our na on is encouraged to par cipate. We will pray the 54 Rosary Novena from the Feast of the Assump on to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7.

In this centennial year of the appari ons of our Lady in Fa ma, we are called upon to help turn our country back to God. Prayer is powerful means of achieving this, for it can change the hearts of peoples, communi es and a na on. Learn how you can join in the Novena at www.novenaforourna on.com and join your fellow parishioners for a Rosary before each weekend Mass during the 54 days. The St. Barnabas Church Prayer Chain The Prayer Chain is not the prayer list that is in the bulle n. Rather it is a chain of telephone calls made by Prayer Chain volunteers that relay prayer needs verbally amongst each other.

If you either want to put yourself or someone else on the list, or would like to be one of the callers, please contact Nan Schmi at 828 681 8490. Thank you! DE COLORES!
