WCC Question of the Week
The Gospel story tells us that we are judged by what we do or don’t do for the poor and needy.
How are you currently reaching out to those in need? What more could you do?
HURRICANE COLLECTION Hurricane Dorian’s intensity and slow progress wreaked havoc on parts of the Bahamas, and the coastal areas of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, & North Carolina.
In response to the needs of the victims of Dorian, Bishop Schlert has authorized that a special collection be taken up across the Diocese. We will be holding this collection this weekend, Sept. 28/29 at all Masses. Please be generous with your support. All funds will be distributed to the victims of Dorian through Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services. BLESSING OF THE PETS: Join us for the Blessing of the Pets on Sunday, October 6 at noon, in the courtyard next to St. Joseph Church (weather permitting).

meats, veggies and more. Our shelves are low and we are in need of donations. Thank you for your support of the needy in our community.
TODAY IS PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY! Please pray for our priests, deacons and seminarians. If you feel inclined to remember any living diocesan priest, please write them a note of appreciation and mail or drop in the designated box placed in the back of church. The Serra Club of Carbon-Schuylkill County Thanks you for your participation. BOOK OF WELLNESS is in the back of church for you to write in it anyone who is ill and needs the prayers of the church. We pray for the sick everyday and ask God’s help and blessings of healing, tolerance, and patience upon them. The sick always need our prayers. They often are so helpless in their illness and look for each tomorrow to feel better and be restored.
