SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY NEWSIn today’s Gospel Jesus called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, He said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.” Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will help hungry children feel the arms of Jesus around them. There will be a special collection on Sunday, September 30th for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Please prayerfully consider a donation to help Pickaway County families in need. Thank you!

Prayer Corner

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Let us pray:

Jesus, help us to know that

we can always ask you ques-

tions Reveal where in our

lives we are putting our-

selves first so we can let go

and let you lead us to be

better servants. May our

gifts and talents be put at

your disposal to help

others. Amen.

First Reconciliation Sacrament Preparation

TIME & LOCATION: 9:30 a.m. during PSR with child in the classroom.

Mission Collections: Once again, PSR program is

collecting money each week to sponsor a youth from

Honduras. Each week the PSR classes take up a collection

for MISSIONS. Most of the money goes toward sponsor-

ing a child from Honduras. With this sponsorship our child

receives health services, education services, and family live-

lihood services. Our child is a 2 year old boy named Angel

Roberto Reyes Sagastume. His birthday is April 23. We

need to collect enough funds to cover the entire year.

ChildFund asks us to send $30 per month to help with these

services for Angel. If every student brought in $ .25 each week we would have

plenty to assist Angel for the year. Any extra, once the summer months are cov-

ered, would be given to St. Vincent DePaul to help a local family in need. Please con-

tinue to send in change to assist with his sponsorship. As mentioned in the Gospel ,

Jesus calls us to be more than decent and generous human beings. He teaches us

about giving from our basic substance—not from what we might have that is “extra”.
