Catechism Resumes in September
|
...but registration is NOW!
We use colorful weekly pamphlets that have articles on the readings for Sunday
as well as historical information, games, scripts and discussion questions.
While class and supplies are free, we do have to order these guides in August
so we have them for September. Sharing them is a disservice to both students
who try to do so. We can only copy them in black and white.
So if you even "think" your child might attend class, please sign up on the
registration sheet that will be available in the front of the church in August.
Or call St. John's or Judie at 566 9860 with the name and grade of your student.
We really appreciate your cooperation because we want each child to have his
or her own pamphlet. By the way, parents are more than welcome to join in or
observe our classes while enjoying the donuts and coffee.
We meet in the parish hall at 9:45 on most Sundays.
High school students participate in a special Outreach Program at the same time as catechism classes. We discuss the Sunday readings and do whatever outreach program we can that does not threaten us with COVID.
Both receiving First Holy Communion and Confirmation requires participation in a two year catechism program. Those families who have children in the catechism program are a special blessing for our church. Thank you to those families, and God bless us ll!

Following Mass will be the install of our St. Michael the Archangel
to be followed with prayer for protection through St. Michael.
All are encouraged to attend this very special celebrations.
Prayer for Vocations
God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your
Son's Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons.
Send your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to your call.
May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer of Intercessions
Through St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Help for the Home Bound
Some parishioners are not able to attend Mass because they need
transportation to Church.
Do you need a ride to Church?
Are you able to provide a ride for someone else?
If enough people respond perhaps we could put together a directory so the
person offering a ride lives in the neighborhood of the one who needs to be picked up.
Call or email Judie 336-1516 <j.kolbmann at sbcglobal.net>
