This next weekend, we as a parish family have a tremendous opportunity to
come together and encounter Jesus Christ in a new and definitive way at our parish retreat, Encountering Christ 2014. This event begins Friday evening and goes
through the Saturday Vigil Mass. I know that it can be difficult to take time away
from other responsibilities for a retreat, but I assure you that God cannot be outdone in generosity. I also ask that you and your family begin praying this prayer
to Holy Spirit to prepare us to receive everything that God wants to give us at our
parish retreat:
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and enkindle in them the Fire of Your Love!
Send forth your Spirit, Lord, and we shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the
earth.
Lord Jesus, may Your Holy Spirit come in power upon our parish family as we prepare to encounter You at our parish retreat. Bless and strengthen all those who will be presenting and
those who will be in attendance. Set our hearts on fire with love for You and for one another.
In Your most Holy Name we pray. Amen.
Thank you for your prayerful support and I’ll see you Friday evening!

Ask The
Church Mouse
Dear Church Mouse,
I have an elderly mother who is
in your parish and cannot attend
Mass anymore. Can someone visit
her and take her Holy Communion? Can a priest hear her Confession?
Signed,
Devoted Daughter
Dear Devoted Daughter,
Sometimes we tend to forget to
call the Parish Office when a loved
one is ill. Please call and give your
mother’s name, address, and
phone number to the secretary. We
are blessed at this parish with a
wonderful group of devoted people
who bring Holy Communion to
the homebound. If your mother
wishes to go to Confession, the
office staff can arrange for a priest
to visit. If your mother does not
know about our televised Mass on
WMBB at 10:00 on Sunday morning, please write it down for her
and post it on her refrigerator.
If someone you know is going to
have surgery, please call the office
to arrange for the Sacrament of
Sick prior to the surgery.
Thanks for asking!
The Church Mouse
If you have any questions about the
Faith or the Church, email the Church
Mouse at:
[email protected].
THEY
“They cleaned up the park.” “They put out fresh bread.” “They
fixed the elevator.” Behind every “they” is a real person. Look at any ordinary object, like a pencil. How many people did it take to make it? Someone planted the tree, someone felled it; others hauled it, cut it down to size,
added lead and an eraser, packaged it, shipped it, and put it on a store
shelf. “They” are millions of people ensuring we have the things we need
and each is a reflection of God. God is not the farmer harvesting the wheat
or rice for our tables, but God created the farmer and keeps his heart beating for his daily tasks. God is the essential “behind the scenes” person, the
real presence behind every “they.” God is behind everything in the entire
universe. And when we finally find God, our lives become transformed
with true gratitude.
TV Crew...
Looking For
You
One of our most distinctive Liturgical Ministries is the televised
Mass. The TV crew needs two more
individuals to assist at the 10:00 a.m.
Sunday Mass. If you are interested
in becoming a cameraman and or
sound engineer, or you are not sure
but want to know more, please contact Joe Lehman at 522-4174 or see
him in the TV production room after
the 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday. Normal schedule is no more
than two Sundays each month. Experience not necessary; training will
be provided. It’s a great opportunity
become more active in the church
ministries.
