Updating Parishioner Information!HELP! We need to update our records. The last census was several years ago. A lot has changed since then! For example, many people have aban-doned their “land line” and only use their cell phone. Please use the form at the end of the pew so we can update your address, preferred phone num-ber, e-mail address and the names of family mem-bers still living with you. Please fill out the card and get it back to us. Put it in the collection basket, the special basket in the foyer or drop it off at the office. You can even mail it in! Thank you for helping us out.
This Monday, September 6 , is Labor Day. There will be no morning mass. The Parish Office and the Food Pantry will be closed. -

Temporary Closing of St. Mary
UPDATE ON ST. MARY’S CEILING
St. Mary’s Ceiling: Meeting update (5-18-21) Several people felt that the engineer’s report was incomplete and so, we will be seeking a “second opinion”. Diocese is concerned with loss of attendance & financial support. We will have to bring these up. Most were concerned with future of church building. Will repairs prevent or forestall closing? Will parishioners come back when/if the church is reopened?
6/20: Letter has been sent to the Bishop to request approval for "seeking a second opinion". -
Religious Education/ Youth GroupFrom the Desk of Mrs. Dzujna, CRE :As the school year begins, I ask you to pray that our program remains solid and that our children stay safe. We will be wearing masks at religious ed, but, at this time, we will not mandate wearing masks. We are leaving that up to each parent to make the choice.
Jesus told us not to judge others (Luke 6:37), and to forgive them seventy-seven times – always (Matthew 18:22). Can we describe a time when we were judged wrongly or when we judged someone wrongly? Can we remember when we were forgiven or when we forgave?
This week fun fact from 365 Fun Facts for Catholic Kids by Bernadette McCarver Snyder (September 18): during this end-of-summer month, many flowers are still in bloom and many vegetables are being harvested. This would be a good day to play “Look Again”! You’ve seen all these flowers and vegetables before, but did you really look at them? Look at the watermelon. Wasn’t that a great idea for God to make a big green thing with a bright pink surprise inside? What would you have named it: Greenboat, Pinkheart? Would you have named a carrot an Orange Crunch, an eggplant a Purple Plump, a head of lettuce Mr. Greenleaf? At dinner tonight, rename what you’re eating. And thank God for making so many yummies for the tummy! -

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus.
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament,
I love You above all things,
And I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from you. AMEN
