As a teacher, he felt called and compelled to full time ministry as a Youth Minister. His faith and enthusiasm are contagious.

MEN: 10 REASONS YOU NEED A GET-AWAY

WEEKEND All men of the Parish are invited to attend the annual 2019 St. Thomas a Becket Retreat Sept. 20 - 22. The retreat will be held at the Saint Paul of the Cross Passionist Retreat Center, a great facility located on 35 beautiful wooded acres. This year’s theme is: “Who do YOU say that I am?" Here are 10 reasons why YOU need this weekend get-away:

Physical rest

Peace and restoration

Answers to a current pressing life issue

Renewing your relationship with God

Release from tension or fear

God's help in making important decisions

Getting love back into your life

Good food and good fellowship

Motivational talks

A rich blessing and a new start “This year our retreat will be such a journey, all of us crying out our own prayers of longing to know the Lord, of yearning to feel His presence and love and the difference that love can make in our lives.” Fr. Pat Brennan, C.P. Cost should not be a factor and is left up to a suggested free will offering. Please contact Dennis O'Beirne at 734-223-3336 or Manny Colon at 734-981-6645 if you are interested. Newcomers - we would love to have you join us! Come and join us, won’t you?

The Case for Life Persuasively Communicating

The Pro-Life Message

The Christian worldview has something important to say about every facet of life. Using science and philosophy, this workshop will equip you to answer two basic, but crucial questions in the battle for life: Who are the pre-born? & What makes humans valuable? Being prepared to answer these two questions will help you simplify the abortion debate and stay focused on the main issue. Come and learn to speak intelligently and winsomely to the defining moral issue of our times. Our workshop leader will be Mike Spencer of Life Training Institute. Mike considered himself “pro-choice” until shortly after coming to faith in Christ in 1983 when the church he attended showed the pro-life film, The Silent Scream. Upon being confronted with the reality of abortion, Mike became deeply convicted and prayed for God’s forgiveness, offering himself as a voice for the unborn. Mike serves as our Midwest Director of Training and travels extensively throughout the United States equipping pro-lifers on high school and university campuses, in churches and serving as the keynote at pro-life banquets and conferences. Mike is a gifted and much sought after communicator who has a passion to equip others to speak to the often emotional and divisive issue of abortion in a way that is both gracious and kind. Please plan to join us for this FREE 2-hour workshop in September. You will leave empowered to confidently and compassionately stand for the unborn. When: Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019

from 9 to 11 AM

Choir Season Resumes Thursday, September 12th at 7:30 PM We take the joy of singing seriously. Very seriously. After all, we’re facilitating the worship of our Creator—the God who gifted us with the profound beauty of music. We’re the Liturgical Choir at St. Thomas a’Becket and we’re looking for new singers and instrumentalists who enjoy the opportunity to sing and play beautiful, vibrant music. We rehearse on Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM. There are many wonderful musical opportuni-ties that await us this year, including the Rainbow Youth Conference Mass at the Renaissance Center in Detroit, and the St. Cecilia Sing choir festival at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. If you love singing at mass and you know that God has planted the gift of music within you, then now is the perfect time to let your talents grow and be nurtured within a supportive, musical family. We are blessed to have an incredibly diverse, talented, and thriving music ministry at St. Thomas a’Becket. Come and help us make seriously great music.

Wednesday Night Bible Study;

Galatians and Romans

As we move toward the new school year, St. Thomas offers an opportunity to enrich your faith and knowledge through the study of Sacred Scripture. On Wednesday, September 4th, we will be starting a new Bible study group about St. Paul’s letters to the Galatians and Romans. This study has 14 sessions, incorporating an introductory session (September 4th), four lessons on Galatians (September 11th - October 2nd) and nine lessons on Romans (October 9th – December 11th). This study opens with Galatians because it was written first. The commentary includes a helpful

Last weekend we welcomed the following children into the Catholic Christian community:

ELEANOR KATHERINE McGLADDERY, child of Steven and Bethany (Atwell) McGladdery. Godparents are Jeffrey McGladdery and Kristen Atwell. We pray for the parents and godparents, and for all who will be there to her faith as she grows. Help them to realize that she belongs to the Lord, and teach her what it means.

Being poor can be very complicated. Many questions come up with no easy answers. Where and how do I seek help? Will I qualify? Will any of my friends or relatives help me? Where will I go if I lose my home? How can I provide for my children? What will others think of me? In many cases, the persons we Vincentians meet have a big mess on their hands which they are desperate to set right, but occasionally we are asked for something simple. Once a woman requested pots and pans so she could prepare food for her family - her old ones were no longer serviceable. Another woman was in need of shoes for a son who had only one pair. The problem was he wore a size 15 and she could only special order them at a cost too prohibitive for her budget. A man was seeking help to pay for his seriously ill wife’s prescriptions. A grandmother needed food for her hungry grandchildren who came to her each day after school. A man just released from a long hospital stay needed food and household items. Situations like these are easy to fix, and we are happy to do so. It would be wonderful if all cases could be so simple, but as we all know, life doesn’t always work that way. Whatever the needs that are presented to us - big or small - our Conference strives to help in whatever way we are able. We are people blessing people, hoping to assuage some of the worry from another’s stressful life. We appreciate your participation in this work of ours.

St. Vincent de Paul, pray for us,

our benefactors and those we serve.

Please remember we can only take NON-PERISHABLE food (nothing that

needs refrigeration) in the wagons, and please check expiration dates

on the containers.

ANSWER: Because he only had one pupil!

TEACHERS NEEDED!!! Please share your gifts and your faith with our children. We need teachers for Monday and Wednesday evenings. Easy to follow, step by step lesson plans are supplied. Please contact Betsy for more information. If you see me with red eyes all week, it is because we dropped our son off for his freshman year of college. He will be studying sports management at the University of South Carolina. This school seemed the perfect fit for him in regards to the program and the campus is beautiful. I am so excited for his new adventure. Good luck to all those kids going to school and to the parents who have to let their babies fly! There is still time to sign up your child for religious education classes this fall. Please pick up a form on the credenza outside the Faith Formation Office or go online to print a form. Please be sure to fill out the medical information, as well.

glossary which clarifies the meaning of terms frequently used in discussions of Paul's theology. Galatians addresses Paul's understanding of Christian freedom and justification by faith. Romans addresses the universal reality of sin in the world and the need for salvation in Jesus Christ. We will be using the Catholic Little Rock Scripture Study program. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and recorded lectures are included. This is a prayer-based Bible study that includes at home daily scripture readings, expert commentary and journaling. Our weekly meeting will include prayer, sharing with a small group and a short video. The only cost ($15) is to cover the study materials. We begin on Wednesday, September 4th, from 7:00-8:45 PM in the Adult Faith Formation Room. We will have 20 sets of books available the first night.
