However humble or great, we need to thank God for the gift of shelter, something we so often take for granted.  Our collection falls short of our budget, and so our ability to server and help falls short.

 

 

Remember, we accept Electronic Funds Transfer, Visa and MasterCard for your convenience.

 

PRAY FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOUL

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Mary Ellen Mundt

 

PARISH OFFICE CLOSED

INVITATION FROM THE ARCHBISHOP

Archbishop Brunett invites all in the archdiocese to attend Mass at St. James Cathedral on October 21^st.  This 2:00 p.m. celebration brings to a formal close the Eucharistic Year originally proclaimed by Pope John Paul II.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

A huge THANK YOU for supporting the bake sale last weekend.  With your generous support, we were able to deposit more than $1250 into the Warren Hudgen's Fund at the American Marine Bank.  In these next weeks, please continue to support the Hudgens family in any way that you can.

 

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS

There is still one of the crosses missing from the Sacristy.  If you have it please return it as soon as possible.  Please also remember to leave them in the Sacristy at the end of Mass.  Thank you.

 

HELP SUPPORT A PARISH IN NIGERIA

We have several items that we no longer use in our parish.  Rather than discarding them, we want to send them to Fr. Godson in Nigeria.  There are several parishes there that could use them.  They include Religious Ed books, bibles, and such.  The Knights of Columbus are having their Pancake Breakfast on October 9 and will be raising money to cover the cost of shipping the books to Fr. Godson.  Please stop by, enjoy some pancakes and donate some money to help educate children who are not as fortunate.

 

ATTENTION CCD PARENTS

Parents of all CCD children, please remember that you have to pick your child up from his/her classroom at the end of class.  Children are not to be dismissed from their class until a parent is present.  (Also please remind your children to be on their best behavior as there is limited time for class.)

 

ADVICE FROM THE CHURCH MOUSE

If the love of God is in your heart, you will understand that to suffer for God, is a joy to which all earthly pleasures are not to be compared. –St. Ignatius 

 

GOSPEL TRUTH FOR THE YOUTH

What if you gave a wonderful party and invited all your friends over to share in your happiness?  How would you feel if they did not come?  Or, if they did come, they looked as if they were going camping instead of your fancy party?  You’d be hurt and sad.  This is what Jesus talks about in today’s gospel when he tells the story of a king who invited guests to his son’s wedding feast and many did not come.  Some of those who did were not properly dressed.  God, like the king in the parable, invites us to share in His kingdom and happiness.  Yet, how many of us say yes?  How do you say yes to God?  For this week, think of things to do to make God happy.  And at the end of the week, you too will smile, because you’ll be in His party. And that’ll be a great celebration!

 

CROPWALK UPDATE

Congratulations to St. Cecilia's Walkers, Recruiters and Sponsors!  We tripled last year's participation and raised over $1700.  This will go towards feeding those who are hungry, both locally and globally.  This marked the 10th anniversary of the Cropwalk on Bainbridge and for the 10th year in a row the weather was spectacular.  A special thanks to all who participated.  The following recruiters' envelopes are still

outstanding: 6361, 6362, 6365, 6366, 6367, 6371, and 6376.  Please turn them in to the parish office ASAP, particularly if containing funds, as our local match sponsor is still willing to match funds that are turned in.  Thanks and see you all for next year's event.

SCCS BAKESALE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS OF LITTLE FLOWER SCHOOL IN MOBILE, ALABAMA

Little Flower School is taking in students from Louisiana who lost their homes to Hurricane Katrina.  SCCS has “adopted” Little Flower for this school year.  Our students will raise money to send to the school and write letters of support and friendship to their students.  The Principal of Little Flower wants to replace one special, personal item lost by each student affected by the hurricane.  She will send us the list of items that the children miss most and we will replace those items.  Please support the SCCS bake sale after 10:00 mass on October 16^th by contributing baked goods and/or purchasing them on that day.  Help us make a difference in the lives of children who lost everything they owned during the hurricane. Baked goods can be dropped off in Conger Hall before the 10:00 mass on October 16^th.Thank you for the support of this mission! For more information, please call Carol Jelinek: 780-0198 or Lynne Gallivan: 780-8161
