ARCHDIOCESE OF DETROIT www.aod.org BOOK & GIFT SHOP Open weekends before & after Masses FROM THE PASTOR S DESK By Fr. Terry Kerner Catholic Charities USA has already collected over three million dollars nationally for disaster relief in Texas. One hundred percent of donations go directly toward assisting the Catholic charities in the Houston area. If you would like to contribute you can do so by sending a contribution to Catholic Charities USA care of : Archdiocese of Detroit, 12 State St., Detroit, MI 48226. It is obvious that our initial contributions only will begin to meet the needs of the people of Houston area. I am sure there will be other opportunities to give in the future. Right now, let us keep all our fellow Americans of Texas in our prayers. Folks who have reserved seats on the bus for the Fr. Solanus Casey Beatification ceremony in November can now begin paying for them. The 56 passenger bus is filled with 20 persons on the waiting list. Please get your $15/person fee into the parish office by Wednesday, September 20th. Deadline for reserving the complimentary ticket for the ceremony is September 12th. If you have already reserved a ticket and have chosen not to use it, please notify the parish office. The Capuchins are waiting to use any ticket not used by parishes. Plans for the parish celebration of the fifth anniversary of St. Kateri s Canonization are quickly taking shape. We are looking forward to having Bishop Battersby celebrate Mass on Sunday, October 22nd. We will be sharing the schedule for the weekend in the weeks ahead. But for now, mark your calendar for October 20-22 for the celebration. (One facet of the weekend is to encourage our young ladies of the parish to dress as a young St. Kateri and be present for the Bishop s Mass. Moms, you might want to get busy.) Please choose one or more categories that you would be interested in cooking for the festival. Return this form to the parish office or call with your preference. We appreciate you help.

FAITH FORMATION By Grace Lakatos Faith Formation & Sacramental Preparation Registration Please send in your registration as soon as possible in order to allow time for the purchases of program materials and supplies. This will ensure that every child will have the items needed for a successful year. Forms are available on the parish website and in the parish office. Our first class is Saturday, September 16th, beginning with 4 PM Mass. Catechist & volunteers needed! I am still looking for two people willing to work with me teaching preschool through kindergarten students during the 4 PM Mass. No experience necessary, just a love of the Lord and a love of children. If you are interested, please contact Grace Lakatos at the parish office. A background check and completion of the program Protecting God s Children are a requirement from the Archdiocese of Detroit and will be provided at no charge to you.

Interested in becoming a Catholic? Come on the journey! Adults interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith are invited to join our parish s Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) classes. These classes are for people who have never been baptized in another Christian denomination who would like to know more about the Roman Catholic faith and people who have been baptized but have not received any other sacraments.

Come to the first class and see the program for yourself. To register or for more information, call Grace Lakatos at the parish office or dre@stkateridearborn.org. PARISH NEWS JPII GIFT AND BOOKSHOP NEWS Barb Cataldo & Pat Urban Fall is just around the corner and we wanted to inform you of some items we will be stocking related to the season. November is the month when we commemorate both All Saints and All Souls. We have ordered a number of new books about the lives of contemporary saints and holy people. We may better relate to these men and women whose culture and challenges are more similar to our own. These more contemporary biographies shed light on their personal struggles whereas most stories of older saints paint portraits of people whose lives may seem impossible to emulate. Come in and browse the selection. Some customers have inquired about solar battery cemetery memorial candles. We have found a supplier (Continued on page 3) Tuesday, September 12th Most Holy Name of Mary 6:40 PM Angeline Konkel (by Family) Wednesday, September 13th St. John Chrysostom, Bishop & Doctor of the Church Consuelo Petersen (Anniver.)

The cost per candle ($45) is much more than the traditional wax candle but it can be used year after year. The manufacturer advertises that the AA rechargeable battery lasts 1 year with ongoing (not month long) usage compared with a 7 day burn time for each wax candle. The solar cell works in any colored cylinder container and uses an LED bulb that shines brighter than other bulbs. We will still continue to stock the traditional outdoor wax candles. MEETING FOR ST.
