Stewardship We have an obligation to share with others, that which God has given us. Share your time, and talents. Men and women can become involved in the life of our Parish by becoming an Altar Server, Catechist, Choir Member, Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist, Lector, and/or Usher. By taking an active role in the liturgical life, and service of the Parish, you can have a wonderful experi-ence. We are especially in need of men and women to volunteer their time as Lectors and Eucharistic Minis-ters. Feel free to fill out the form on page 5 and drop it in the collection basket or call the rectory.

2014 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal This year the theme of the Appeal is When I Called, You Answered. It comes from Psalm 138 where the psalmist thanks God for hearing his prayer. God calls us also and we answer in many ways. The Archbishops Annual Ap-peal (AAA) is one way God calls and our participation is our answer to Him. The AAA provides the poor with food, shelter and clothing; makes religious education, spiritual guidance and CYO athletics available for the young; en-sures the future leadership of the Church with seminarian education and training; and most importantly, brings Christ’s Good News to the people of the Archdiocese. Supporting the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal is our thanks to God for hearing our prayers. Pencils and AAA enve-lopes will be located in the church pews and in the back of the church. Thank you.

Religious Education ~We will celebrate a children’s Mass every Sunday at 10:45 a.m. All children and parents are encouraged to attend. ~Registration has begun for the 2014-2015 school year. Parents are encour-aged to register children early. Registration forms can also be downloaded by visiting our website or you can pick them up at the rectory during office hours.

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time “For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” ~ Matthew 11:30 When we think of being good stewards, we may think that God is asking too much of us when He calls us to generously share our time, talent and treasure. However, we must

re-member that we are not “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us.

Oliver’s corner

Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how

they keep abreast of current events.

The ground is a giant dog newspaper,

containing all kinds of late-breaking

dog news items, which, if they are

especially urgent, are often continued

into the next yard.

It’s That Time of Year Again? Attend Mass While on Vacation In his Apostolic Letter, Dies Domini, “On Keeping the Holy Day”, Pope John Paul II said, “Pastors should remind the faithful that when they are away from home on Sundays they are to take care to attend Mass wherever they may be, enriching the local community with their personal witness (DD 49)”. While you are vacationing, please do not miss Mass. If you do not know the location of the local church while you are away, you can visit www.masstimes.org and get Mass schedules from around the world.

Why is it Important to Register as a Part of our Parish Family? Registration is the official way we join a parish communi-ty. Many people think because they attend a particular parish, they automatically belong. Membership requires signing up and formally enrolling yourself in the parish. Registration is more than filling out some forms. Registra-tion is a commitment to a community, a way to be includ-ed in the religious, social and ministerial activities of a parish. Registration not only shows you belong, but may be necessary for certain benefits, like scheduling sacra-ments, obtaining sponsorship certificates, participating in religious education programs and getting donation state-ments for tax purposes. Are you registered with us? If you’re not sure, don’t hesitate to contact the office. If you need to register, just fill out the form on this page, and drop it in the collection basket. We’ll take care of the rest. You can also download a registration form by visiting our website.
