We hope to see all of you there!

EUCHARISTIC

ADORATION! “Each one of us is a co

-worker of Christ… we

must labor hard to carry

Him to the hearts where

He has not yet been

known and loved… But,

unless we have Jesus, we cannot give Him; that is why we

need the Eucharist. Spend as much time as possible in front

of the Blessed Sacrament and He will fill you with His

strength and His power” ~St Teresa of Calcutta

Come Spend time with Our Eucharistic Lord on

Wednesdays following the 8:30 am Mass until Benediction

at 8 pm St. John the Evangelist. There is an immediate need

for an adorer from 2pm - 3 pm. To volunteer call Rose

at 338-0483.

FROM FR. JOE I'm so grateful for the good turn

out and all the cooperation and support we

witnessed on our first weekend celebrating

Masses at St. John’s. These three months

will pass quickly but my hope and prayer is

that we preserve the bonds of affection in

our parish that has been strengthened. Thank you.

It seems parking went well. The parking however

on the north side of the Shelter/St. John's school was greatly

underutilized. If you drive south on Jefferson Street you can

access this very convenient parking lot and take pressure

off of St. John's street and have a shorter walk overall. If

you have any thoughts on how to make this time away

easier for our parishioners, please call the office with your

insights

Enjoy the rest of summer. It isn't officially over till

September 22nd! God bless. ~Fr. Joe

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS The first full year for the Knights of Columbus

Msgr. Basche Council 4505 at Cathedral ended in June.

I feel very privileged to have lead our group as the first

Grand Knight and feel a report is in order as we

contemplate our 2nd membership drive. Since joining we

have gained 17 new members. Along with our existing

members, these men collectively achieved an impressive

list of charitable projects that would be pleasing to our

founder, Fr. Michael McGivney. Following is the list, not to

seek accolades, but in hopes that you will find something

that appeals to you enough to consider membership.

List of 2016-17 Projects

Knight of the Month Awards, Brat Barn, Pot Luck Get

Acquainted Dinner, 40 Days for Life March, Magic Show,

Food For Families, Family Fully Alive, Coats for Kids,

Joe’s Jobs, Election Vigil, Life Savers for Life, Keep Christ

in Christmas, Sentiments for Seminarians, Metal Art Rose

Founders Day Celebration, Clergy Appreciation Nite,

Charity Raffle, Tootsie Rolls, Plant Sale, JFK Awards,

RSVP Seminarian Grant, Memorial Mass for Deceased

Members and Corpus Christi Procession.

In addition our Council made monetary donations to:

Catholic Education (PKD), Preble and East High Student

Awards, Seminarian Support, Cathedral Parish, St. John

Parish, St. Philip Parish, St. Mary of the Angels Parish,

St. Thomas More School, St. John Paul II Classical School,

Golden House, Relevant Radio, and Freedom House

totaling over $2600 Dollars.

In a short time we would like to offer you the opportunity to

join us in our work for God and neighbor. As a member of

our council, you will strengthen your faith and become a

better Catholic, husband, and/or father. In addition you will

form friendships with fellow Knights that will last a

lifetime. Sincerely,

~Dave Tlachac, Immediate Past Grand Knight

PRAYER CORNER The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows was September 15th.

In her honor let us pray:

O most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ,

by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you

witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and death of

your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of

compassion, and awaken in my heart a tender

commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere

detestation of my sins, in order that being disengaged

from all undue affection for the passing joys of this

earth, I may sigh after the eternal Jerusalem, and that

henceforward all my thoughts and all my actions may

be directed towards this one most desirable object.

~Amen.

COMMUNION ANTIPHONS – PLEASE SING! What are those Communion Antiphons the cantors and

scholae keep singing? These Gregorian Chants are from

the Roman Missal. Each day, a scripture verse and psalm

are prescribed to be read or sung at Holy Communion.

Notice how they are very similar to the Responsorial

Psalm? The cantor or schola sing verses, while a short

refrain is sung between psalm verses. You, the

congregation, are to sing the refrain – that is your part!

Please join us in singing these beautiful Gregorian Chants.

We are “singing the Mass,” in union with Catholics

everywhere!

PARISH PANTRY NEEDS! Items needed:

The pantry is getting low of all the basics! Your help is

needed and appreciated. Please help us keep these items in

stock: Cereal, soup, tuna, vegetables/fruit in cans, crackers

(saltines and graham), peanut butter, jelly/jam, box

macaroni and cheese, dry pasta or rice, canned baked

beans or stew, fruit roll-ups, cookies, granola bars, cans of

prepared pasta, spaghetti or macaroni, box of prepared

meals, pancake mix, and maple syrup. Donation baskets

are located by the main entrance doors on St. John’s Street.

Please no, expired food, perishable items or glass jars!

NEW SHELTER MEAL The next NEW Shelter Meal is Friday, September 29th. We

are in need of desserts. Monetary gifts are always welcome.
