PRAYER REQUESTS 
Please pray for healing of Francisco Pena, brother of CSSE Pre K-4 teaching assistant Mrs. Imelda Aleman, who was diagnosed with Leukemia and is undergoing chemo therapy. We pray for the strength for his family during this difficult time. Please continue to pray for Jacob Stone, father of Ella and Jackson Stone, and Chris Kusel, father of Lauren and Kate Kusel, who are both recovering from heart surgeries.

For the success of our capital campaign - One Church, Growing Together. 
May we give generously in support of the continued growth of our church and school 
So we can continue God's call to evangelize people of all ages 
Through spiritual education and formation. Let us pray to the Lord.

Normal free dress guidelines regarding appropriate dress still apply. If a child’s clothing/costume is deemed as not having followed the rules, a parent may be called to bring a change of clothing.

Children's Liturgy of the Word Volunteer Needed
A volunteer to serve one Sunday a month during your regular Mass time as a Catechist for Children's Liturgy of the Word is needed! Two Catechists take the children, ages 4-7, to the chapel after the Opening Prayer to present and discuss that Sunday's Readings, especially the Gospel. The Catechist materials lead the Catechist through the presentation. It is a beautiful way to engage young children in the Gospel message! October start date will depend upon gathering enough volunteers. 24 are needed to present Children's Liturgy at all the Masses once a month. Please contact Judi Wilkinson at [email protected] if interested.  
Training meeting September 26, 6:30 pm. Location TBA

Confirmation Volunteers
If you have a heart for young people or sharing your faith, we have opportunities available on either Monday nights.  Confirmation meets twice a month from 6:30 PM to 8:15 PM in Ross Hall.  
Please contact Patty Dearden if you would like to be a part of this very rewarding and important ministry - leading our young people into a life of discipleship. 
We have been asking the Holy Spirit to raise up helpers.  The harvest is plenty and the laborers are few!

Vocare Chalice at Mass
We need more families to take the Vocare Chalice home for a week and pray for Vocations. We especially need people after Saturday and Sunday 5:00 pm Masses.  If interested or have questions, please email Susan Givens at [email protected] or call her at 751-7115.
