Parish Staff & Committee Chairs

Dear Parish Family,

We may be tempted to gloss over the most startling one-liners passed down to us from Jesus such as

the one that closes today’s Gospel: “None of you can be my disciple if he does not renounce all his

possessions.”

The statement reflects that basic human wisdom which tells us that “the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen she lter

weighs down the mind that has many concerns.” The issue, then, is true freedom, the ability to follow Onesimus (Second Reading) out

of slavery. The other issue involved here is true worship, the question of priority in our lives: who or what is more important. God or

our possessions?

Today’s liturgy encourages us to put God first, to long for God “like a deer that longs for running streams,” and to recognize that “in

every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.” Moreover, it is not evil to want God to prosper the work of our hands. It is evil to

make a god of creatures and to replace worship of the true God with worship of worldly possessions. What is discipleship according to

Jesus? Discipleship is not just one more hobby or extracurricular activity. Discipleship is why we do what we do, mindful of the costs it

brings.

What Jesus commands is prioritizing him as the source of our life, and as its ultimate end. It is making our love for him the ordering

principle of everything else we do and how we use the things we possess.

Fr. Martin S. Martinez

September 8, 2019 / Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

As part of a 1935 initiative to recognize and celebrate the gift that catechists give to their parish

communities by volunteering their time for the education of children, the Church began what we

know today as Catechetical Sunday. On Catechetical Sunday, we come together as both a parish

and Church community to acknowledge the dedication of those who serve as catechists in our

parish family. On Catechetical Sunday, parents and guardians are also honored because they are

the true first catechists, sharing the Catholic faith with their families. Catechetical Sunday is an

opportunity for all Catholics to rededicate themselves to the mission of handing on the faith and

being a witness to the Gospel as community of faith. The day also provides an opportunity for us

to consider ways we are witnesses for Jesus Christ ourselves.

We will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15 at the 11:00am Mass. Please join us.

Faith Formation

A Prayer for My Catechist

Thank you for your good work

Your words, your faith, your teaching;

May I grow to share what I have learned through you

And the Word of God

To turn the hearts of many

Toward the Lord

Amen.

Here is an idea for you to thank your child’s catechist:

Make a card for your catechist by using the prayer to

the right. Have your child decorate it.

As a family, decide some prayers you will say for your

catechist and make a “spiritual bouquet” for him/her.

Bring the card to your child’s teacher the next time

you see them.

September 12: Called out of the World

One of the first things Bishop Barron will teach us in this session is that

the Greek root word for church, ekklesia, means “to be called out of”;

that is, at church, during every Mass, we are called out of the world into

God’s Kingdom. This episode will focus specifically on the Entrance

Procession and the Introductory Prayers.

Parish News

September 8, 2019 / Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Our Parish Hospitality St. Rita in the Desert has always been known for its

welcoming heart. Just as the cowboys, ranch hands, and families

settling this area came from miles around to celebrate Eucharist

and to share their stories from the last week, we too, are called

be a family and Minister of Hospitality. That is partly why our

congregation continues to spend time before Mass sharing time in

conversation with folks we know and welcoming those sitting

near us whom we have not met. Another way we can be

welcoming at Mass is by moving to the center of the pew so that

those who come after us can easily come in and find a seat

without climbing over others. This also gives us the opportunity

to welcome them as they sit down beside us. We invite our

community to consider “scooting in” and then reaching out in

welcome to those who sit down next to you.

St. Rita’s Guild News Our monthly meeting wil l be held Wednesday,

September 11 at 5:30pm in the hall.

New members are welcome to come and see where

they can find their calling! “Membership” is open to any adult,

male or female, 18 years and older., but it becomes a family affair!

Our primary focus is serving the St. Rita’s Community.

LEARN TO MAKE ROSARIES St. Rita’s Rosary Makers resume meetings on the

second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. Tuesday,

September 10 we will meet right after 8:00am Mass (about

8:30am) in the Verhagen Building. Our group provides

rosaries for St. Rita’s ministries and sends rosaries to

world-wide missions. Our goal is to advance the devotion

of the rosary and our Blessed Mother as she leads people

to Jesus. If you don’t know how to make mission (cord)

rosaries we’d love to teach you. Just come on over and

check out this fun group.

E-mail Irene at irenetoews@cox.net with any questions.

Sewing Angels The Sewing Angels are heading back to their ironing boards and sewing machines, meeting every Tuesday at 9:00am in the hall. In

September we will make Christmas Stockings and in October we will make teddy bears for the Corona de Tucson Fire Department to

give to victims of fire, auto accidents or other crises. We have some donated machines if you know how to sew but do not have a

machine to bring. If you can iron, cut, or sew and would like to sew for charity come join us! For more information, call Cyndee at 548

-8981.

Quilting Angels starting soon! Do you love quilting? Do you want to learn how to quilt?Then come to the first-ever meeting of the Quilting Angels at St. Rita in the

Desert! We will meet on Friday, September 20 at 9:00am in the hall to get acquainted and find out what we need to bring to the

meetings. (No machine is needed for the first meeting.) This group will help beginners learn how to make quilts from start to finish

and all the quilts to be donated. Please join us for fun and friendship, whether you are experienced or have a desire to learn the

trade. It is recommended participants be at least 18 years of age. If you have questions or need information, please email Peggy Schultz
