FALL ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM The Adult Faith formation program for the fall will start Wednesday, September 4th, using the Formed Forgiven program. This program ex-plores the grace and healing offered in Confes-sion and shows how this sacrament of mercy re-veals the depth and bounty of God’s love. We will look at God’s revelation of his mercy in Scripture and make a step by step examination of the Rite. The classes will view the Formed Forgiven video and then have a discussion of the material. The classes will be Wednesday nights in the school starting at 7:00pm. The classes will be held Sept. 4, 11, 25 Oct, 2nd & 9th. Please call Deacon Bob at 234-678-5483 if you are interested in attending.

Prayer for Labor Day Dear God, when you created Adam, you gave him the task to tend the Garden of Eden. Even in a perfect world before the fall, you created humans to be fulfilled when completing the work given to them. When you came to us, you lived your life as a man. You came as one who learned a trade and earned his wage. In doing so you taught us that all people are made whole by meaningful work. As we relax this Labor Day, let us never forget that, though we love our leisure, a life of work is nothing to escape or dread, and that work well done is work in imitation of your creative act. Amen.

Family Perspective September 1, 2019

“Those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Family life confirms the words of Jesus in today’s gospel. Commitment, intimacy, loyalty, and love are the rewards of humble service and care for one an-other. Pope Francis reminds us, “no family drops down from heaven perfectly formed.”

Did you know there is a website www.masstimes.org that contains all the information you would need.

Children’s Weekly Worship Bulletins Each week there are Chil-

dren’s Worship Bulletins available for children, ages 3-6. They are located in the main Vestibule and at all entrance doors. These bulletins are based on the Gospel teachings, and include many activities while providing a great opportunity for our young children to learn and understand our faith.

Enter/Exit Safety Faith Formation classes are back in session. Please remember to use the designated parking lot en-trance and exit. This allows parents to drop off and pick up students without the children having to cross through traffic. This is also a safety concern when ever there is activity in the school building. Reminder: I f you are parked on the east side of the lot and decide to leave by the entrance, it is not a problem so long as you are turning left. If you turn right, there is traffic using the exit that is turn-ing both left and right. There have been a few close calls, so please do not exit to the right from the en-trance when there is a flow of traffic from the exit (after Mass and events in the school/hall). Thank you for your co-operation. +Fr. Bob
