Parish Grand Annual collection
August 23 & 24 is the third and final phase of the Parish Grand Annual Collection. Thank you to the Parishioners who have responded so generously. Your personal financial support is needed and valued in our commitment to “serve the Lord and each other.” Envelopes are available at the entrances of the church and chapel.

special collection
Little Sisters of the Poor: August 30 & 31, the Little Sisters of the Poor will be visiting our Parish. One of the Sisters will say a few words after Communion and then they will stand at the doors of the church to receive your offering. The Little Sisters are an international Religious Congregation whose only mission in the Church is to care for the elderly poor in homes where love, respect and compassionate care until death are offered to the elderly. The Little Sisters have been serving the elderly poor of Massachusetts for the past 137 years. They do not receive help from the diocese, but count on God through the goodness of the people to sustain this mission in the Church and our Diocese. The Little Sisters are grateful to each of you for whatever you are able to do for them.

FRIDAY, September 6
IS FIRST FRIDAY
Friday, September 6th is First Friday. Adoration & Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take place in the chapel immediately following the 7:30 am Mass and will continue throughout the day ending with Evening Prayer at 4:45 pm.

First Fridays are a devotional practice honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus in which members of the Church observe the first Friday of each month by receiving Holy Communion.

According to promises which it is claimed Jesus made to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, those who follow this practice for nine consecutive months will be granted special graces such as final perseverance in faith and the consolation of Christ's love in their final hour.

THE VOCATION CROSS PROGRAM
The Vocation Cross Program: If you would like to take the crucifix home for one week and pray for vocations, the sign-up sheet is in the vestibule of the church. We are hopeful that this will be a positive prayerful experience for you and your family.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Loving God, help us follow the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary in willingly giving ourselves in service to your church. Stir up the grace of priestly and religious vocations in the hearts of many within our community and send your Spirit to guide and strengthen them in answering your call. Amen.
