DAY OF PRAYER TO END VIOLENCE

September 11 falls on a Sunday this year. The bishops of

the United States have asked that it be observed as a day of

prayer for an end to violence. There are many sources of

tension and division in our society, so they are asking us to

call upon our Lord who came to reconcile us to God and to

one another. In our archdiocese the prayer observance has

been extended to include Friday and Saturday. We will

observe this call to prayer by having prayer and adoration

from 6:00 - 9:00 P.M. on Sunday, September 11 at both St.

Peter and St. Joseph church. There will be 10-20 minutes

of communal prayer and reflection at the beginning of each

hour and 40-45 minutes for silent prayer. Come for a half

hour or three hours or whatever time you and your kids can

manage.

ST. PETER IN CHAINS

St. Vincent de Paul

In today’s gospel, Jesus lays out the

demands of following him, the great cost

of discipleship. The Mission Statement

of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul states; “Vincentians witness

God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice...the Soci-

ety makes no distinction in those served because, in them, Vin-

centians see the face of Christ.”

Have you considered answering the call to help serve the

poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?

It probably cannot be stated too often that the planning for

the Region assumes that all three parishes will remain open

with the various staff members operating collaboratively,

assisting each other as needed. Each parish will remain

financially separate but there might very well be shared

costs such as the pastor’s salary, benefits, and living ar-

rangements.

At the same time it cannot be stated too often that we have

a “blueprint” for what the “ideal” parish (or Region) should

look like. It is described in the document “Vibrant Parish”

which has been distributed a couple times in the three par-

ishes. The assumption here is that a parish does not exist

just for itself. The document gives bullet points under

these headings:

• Worship and Spirituality

• Catechesis and Education

• Pastoral Ministry

• Evangelization and Outreach

• Mission Centered Leadership and Administration

• Mission Centered Fiscal Solvency

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song,

and His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

(Psalm 149:1)

The Choir will begin singing for Sunday Masses on

September 11

th

at 11:00am. Choir Rehearsal will resume

on Thursday, September 8

th

at 7pm in the choir loft. Not

only do we look forward to present members returning, but

we are also open to new members joining! Both adults and

youth, Grade 6 or above, are welcomed to join. Youth are

not required to attend the Thursday evening rehearsal, but

should arrive at 10:15 on Sunday mornings for rehearsal.

We will also form a Children’s Choir, Grade 2 and

up, for Christmas again this year. Watch the bulletin and

The Link school newsletter for details later in the year.

The Handbell Choir played for Easter last year and

will be adding Christmas this year. Adults and children,

Grades 5 & up (and parents!), are invited to join. The art of

handbell ringing is recognized today as both an excellent

tool for Music Education and a viable ensemble instrument

in both the school and church. Rehearsals will begin soon

and will usually be on Thursday evenings 6-7pm. Watch

the bulletin and The Link school newsletter for details

soon.

Music ministry is open to anyone who can match

pitch (“carry a tune”) or play an instrument. For those who

would like to sing or play handbells, prior experience or the

ability to read music is not necessary, and you do not have

to be a professionally trained singer—we provide on-the-

job training!

Please contact our Music Director, Michael Collins

by email at [email protected] or in the parish

office at 863-3938, ext. 355 if interested in becoming a part

of the music ministry.

less campus was created and sets of Chromebooks were purchased for our school. This year, donations will continue to

support technology advancement and campus improvement projects. Please contact Kathleen Pendergest at 702-6678 for

more details on how your company can promote its business as well as support an important cause, which in turn benefits
