Like Peter in today’s Gospel, we can find that when we open our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our hearts to experience Jesus’ presence in our daily lives, God reveals himself to us.

Through your gifts to the St. Paul Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in July, the poor of this area to experience Jesus’ love in the following ways: Food $1,998.13 = 90 Families, 307 people Rent: $5,077.19 = 32 Families Utilities: $2,498.61 = 20 Families Home Visits: 12 Vincentians also logged 274 hours of service and 919 miles during the month of July. May God continue to bless our clients, Father Wencil, and the parishioners of St. Paul for their continued support and for the opportunity to exercise our faith in such a tangible way. If you are interested in growing spiritually, establishing long lasting friendships, and serving our neighbors in need, we invite you to join our Vincentian family.

BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER FOR STUDENTS

Open My Mind Lord Jesus, you were once a student like me. You studied God’s law, the history of your people and a trade by which to earn a living. You lived in a human family, made steady progress in understanding and yearned to discover your vocation in life. Open my mind to the truth of things, make me humble before the awesome mysteries of the universe, make me proud to be a human being and a child of God and give me courage to live my life in the light of your gospel. Amen.

Mother Teresa says: Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and

happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

The Chapel candle burns in loving memory of of Frances Hairell at the request of her friend,

Daniel Kennedy.

Ministry and Continuing Education for Adults Because Our Faith is too Rich to have ever Learned it All…

Contact Heidi Clark, Director of Adult Ministry, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected] for more information.

ACTS Retreat for Men ACTS retreat for men is a three-day, three night get-away with spiritual direction provided. Talks and activities focus on Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service (ACTS). Holy Scripture and Church teachings are the foundation along with renewing yourself spiritually and building lasting friendships. The next men’s ACTS retreat is set for the weekend of September 4-7, and it is being directed by Bob McCormick and a staff of more than 30 men. Contact Bob for more information at [email protected].

Interested in being Catholic? If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about becoming Catholic, our RCIA program is just the ticket! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, is a process of prayer, reflection, and learning that allows for the continual discernment of God's will. Want more information? Contact Heidi Clark, 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or [email protected].

Needing an Annulment? Although people normally enter marriage with good intentions, many marriages fail. When that happens, a civil divorce grants you the right to remarry in the civil realm, but it does not grant you a similar right in the Catholic Church. The purpose of the nullity process is to determine if the marriage lacked one or more of the elements that the Catholic Church considers essential to form a valid, binding union until the death of either spouse. If this can be substantiated, then the marriage is not binding in the Church’s understanding and an annulment is granted, making you free to marry in the Catholic Church. The process is for spiritual and ecclesiastical purposes only and has no effect whatsoever upon civil law. Any children born of this marriage remain as they have always been—the legitimate and precious offspring of the marriage. Our understanding of marriage is based on the words of Jesus Christ in his direct teachings on marriage, divorce and remarriage (Mk 10:2-12; Lk 16:18; Mt 5:31-32; Mt 19:3-11; I Cor 7:10-11, 39; Rom 7:2-3). St. Paul has trained and certified Case Sponsors who will walk you through the process, answer your questions, offer support, and guide you from beginning to end. If you or someone is in need of an annulment, pray for God’s assistance and grace as you discern whether or not to take this next step. If you’d like more information, contact Heidi Clark at 281.333.3891, Ext. 328 or email [email protected].

Catholic…Divorced…Now What? It has been said that we are truly divorced only when we finally let go of our marriage, mourn our loss, and adjust ourselves to our new life. At St. Paul, our Divorce Care Group exists to help one another do just that. This is a Catholic based peer-ministry support group designed to help guide men and women through the process of divorce. The program explores the stress, anger, blame and guilt of divorce with the goal of leading participants toward ultimate forgiveness, happiness and growth. Plans are to begin a new Monday evening group in early October. Please contact Heidi if you are interested in participating: [email protected] or 281.333.3891.

Does your Catechism Still Fit? Chances are the catechism you studied when you prepared for your confirmation was meant to meet the faith needs of a young teenager. But you’ve grown a lot since then and have a whole lifetime of adult experiences that need integration and understanding. Grow in your faith by participating in this interesting, interactive study that takes place the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. Sessions begin Tuesday, September 9, at 7:30 PM in Room 10. They are led by author, teacher, and theologian Julie Dienno-Demarest. Participants should have a copy of the catechism for adults and a Bible.

New Bible Study in the Fall Do you really know Christ? Do you understand the work He did after his resurrection to empower believers and build the Church? Learn more and grow in understanding by

participating in Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom Bible Study beginning Wednesday, September 10, at 7 PM in Room 1. The study unfolds over 20 sessions and will wrap up in

mid-February. The cost to participate is $30, which includes study guide, work book, and other supplies. It’s good to have your own Bible for class, too, but you can also borrow one from the adult ministry room. Registration forms are available at the Welcome Center.

Prayer Shawls Available Thanks to the dedication of a generous and prayerful group of parishioners, a supply of prayer shawls is available for loved ones in your life who are struggling with illness, isolation, grief, aging, or other issues. These shawls are knit by volunteers who, as they are doing so, pray for the needs of whomever will receive the shawl. Shawls are free and are available in a range of colors and styles. If you or someone you know would benefit from receiving a shawl, call Heidi at 281.333.3891, Ext. 328.
