Why Together?
We are all in need of hope, especially during these challenging times of quarantine because of the pandemic. During the month of September, the month of The Exaltation of the Holy Cross, we would like to come together as a parish family and inspire each other with the Hope of the Cross and Love of Jesus Christ. During the upcoming month we will be encouraging all parish families to participate in one or all of the following events. Father Dave and the parish staff want you to know that "we are all in this TOGETHER!"
(Inspired by the song “Together” by the Christian music group, For King and Country; go to next tab to watch the video.)IF WE FALL, WE WILL FALL TOGETHER!
WHEN WE RISE, WE WILL RISE TOGETHER!
TOGETHER WE ARE DANGEROUS...
TOGETHER WITH OUR DIFFERENCES...
TOGETHER WE ARE BOLDER, BRAVER, STRONGER!

Parable of The Two Sons - Reflection By Our Youth Leader 9.27.20
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
How are our actions guided day to day? It is easy to complain about the things that are going wrong in the world. Yet how much thought do we seriously give to making people and things around us better? Jesus was a man of word, but even more so a man of action. For daily Catholic living I would argue we need to be both. Without the intentional thought or wisdom behind an action, the action has very little guidance. Without the action, knowledge and attitudes simply fall flat.
The parable this weekend seems to present a moral dilemma. On the one hand we have a compliant son in action but not in word. The other son is true to his word but ends up choosing against the action asked of him by his father. So, which son did the right thing and how then does that guide our collective behavior? An added footnote – we love to get caught up in who is right don’t we?

Mission Appeal From Sr. Dorothy Fabritze, Missionary Sisters of The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
The Missionary Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC) who serve the apartheid-ravaged Namibia since 1927 need your support as they continue to this day to minister to youth, women and the underprivileged in the fields of health, education, pastoral work, social work and administration in 21 countries today. They have established firm foundations on which indigenous religious women and priests can continue to build so that all people can know and grow spiritually in the Heart of God. In order to complete projects such as this in Namibia and in neighboring Angola where we will build a school, we need your financial support. Put your envelope in the collection basket or bring to the parish office. Your donations will enable our young religious women to be educated in the needed fields of education, health care, and social work. Your dollars will enable us to house our Sisters and to build a hall which in turn will change the lives of the Namibian youth.

All ordinary, everyday things that anyone can easily incorporate into their family life.
The video was done in partnership with the Shrine of the Miraculous Medal in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as part of “Our Domestic Church,” a video project. To watch click on the following ...

The Search on Formed.org
Sometimes we get so caught up in the depth of our faith that we forget what it was like to first wrestle with the big questions – Who am I? What am I searching for? What’s our shared story? Who is Jesus? Why do we need a Church? Is there a God? We all need to get back to the basics to make sure the foundation is strong.
We are excited to introduce The Search, a new seven part Augustine Institute Original Series with the goal of lighting that first fire in those who don’t yet know the faith or reigniting the fire in those who need a primer on the foundational questions. The Search is now on our Parish FORMED subscription at no additional charge. Sign up by clicking button below. Then click on The Search button to watch!
