Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
Second Collection schedule: Today to benefit the Academy, September 27th for the SSPX Priest Training Program. Thank you for your generosity.
Bookstore Sale: “My Catholic Faith,” regularly $44.95, on sale for $35.95 throughout the month of September. We also have new missal covers and limited edition Italian Rosaries in stock.
Ember Days: Traditional days of fast and partial abstinence are Wednesday, Friday (complete abstinence), and Saturday, September 23rd, 25th and 26th. This observance was originally instituted to encourage the faithful to pray and do penance for new priests. Please offer your prayers and sacrifices on these days that God may inspire more men to offer themselves for this holy ministry and for the perseverance of those already ordained.
40 Days for Life: From September 23rd through November 1st, you are invited to join the 40 Days for Life – 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. You are also invited to stand and peacefully pray during the 40-day vigil outside Family Planning Associates in downtown Phoenix or outside Planned Parenthood in Tempe. Informational flyers can be found in the vestibule. We will also have All Day Adoration on Monday, October 12th for this intention.
Altar Flowers Donations: Donation envelopes for purchasing the flowers on the altar can be found in the vestibule. Each envelope is for one week, and lists the Feasts celebrated during that week. You may contribute any or all amount of the flower cost for that week. If interested, please take one envelope and return it to either the Sunday collection basket or to the church office. We are grateful for your generosity.
