August 26-Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time: In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks “Do you also want to leave?” We must ask ourselves if we really want to hear the good news of his love for us and for others. Is the word of God able to break into our consciousness, change us and call us to hear the cries of the poor? This month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to hear the cries of the poor by
assisting families, providing food, and financial assistance for
utilities, and rent. God Bless You!

VISITS TO THE SICK If you are ill and in need of the Sacraments and would like a visit from Fr. Vernon, he has asked
that you (or an immediate family member if you are too ill) contact him through the church office. The surest way of
getting the message to Father is by speaking to him personally during office hours or calling the church office and leaving
a message either on the answering machine or with a member of the office staff.
DAILY MASS MINISTRY: Volunteers are needed to be Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers during Daily Mass. If you
would like to serve please check in at the office 15 minutes before Mass begins.
LOST AND FOUND: There are several articles in lost and found. Please call the Church Office for assistance.
NEW CENSUS CARD PLEASE: If any of your information has changed, please take the time to fill out a new census
card completely. Not sure? Fill one out anyway and don’t forget to mark your choices on the privacy line. That is, let us
know if we may share your address and phone information with your fellow parishioners. This line is located under the
“Home phone/(S) email/Wife’s Maiden Name” line.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CANS! Thank you for your contribution of aluminum cans to benefit our youth programs at
the church. Please remember to rinse your cans after use and do not crush them in any way so that they will fit into our
can crusher properly. Finally, please deposit cans in the receptacle in the corner of the upper parking lot ensuring that they
are placed in bags that are tied so that the cans do not fall out when retrieved by our volunteers. We appreciate everyone’s
cooperation and continue to SAVE THOSE CANS!
