An Introduction

Some of you suggested that I include last weekend’s introduction in the bulletin. I thought that a good idea so I’m putting an abbreviated version here for all of you to reflect upon and consider.

Ten Prayers for Every Catholic Child

People who pray take life’s ups and downs with grace and peace. Here are 10 basic Catholic prayers to teach your children:

Welcome, Fr. McKeon!

Father Robert McKeon, St. Lawrence O’Toole’s new pastor, will be at all the Masses this Saturday and Sunday to greet you.

A Reflection on the Virtue of Fortitude

“Fortitude may be defined as that quality of character through which its possessor is enabled to endure hardships and to overcome fears that would tend to deflect an individual from the pursuit of the aims of a humanly and Christian good life.”

Mass Book for 2009 to Open Sept. 5th

Anyone wishing to reserve an announced Mass (Weekday through Saturday night) should come to the Parish House Meeting Room (entrance to the rear of the rectory) on Friday, September 5th, from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, or after that date to the parish house office. Mass offerings have been set by the Archdiocese now at $15 for announced Masses and $5 for unannounced Masses.

Back to School!

The summer is flying by, and all the commercials remind us to stock up on our school supplies because it’s almost that time again! Our Religious Education program is also ready to go! Children grades 1 through 8 should be registered by now and will be receiving detailed information about Religious Education within the next week. Mark your calendars!

This Year's Ghana Collection - 2008: New Chapel Building for Kantro Assumption Catholic Church

Once again we wish to thank you for your spiritual, moral and material support towards the growth of the Church in Ghana, especially in the Diocese of Sunyani. Through your help we have been able to complete some chapels to provide suitable places of worship. This year we are proposing the construction of a small chapel at a Village called Kantro.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

RCIA is a program designed to prepare candidates to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Penance, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Any adults who are considering becoming a member of the Roman Catholic Church, or those who were baptized as infants, but did not receive the other sacraments should contact Mary Ellen Tiernan at the Parish House at 279-2021. RCIT for high school students who have not received the sacraments is also available. Instruction for both programs will begin in the fall.

The Apostolate of Prayer

The following are the intentions our Holy Father who wishes us to include in our prayer for the month of September:

General Intention: That those who are forced to leave home and country because of war or oppressive regimes may be supported by Christians in the defense and protection of their rights.

Mission Intention: That faithful to the sacrament of matrimony, every Christian family may cultivate the values of love and communion in order to be a small evangelizing community, sensitive and open to the material and spiritual needs of others.
