a variety of games and prizes for kids and

“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be
always with you. May the sun shine warm you always
until we meet again.”
We love you Fr. Ned!
Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS
September 4, 2016 - 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33
When we first hear this statement, it seems that Jesus is making an unrealistic demand upon us. How can we renounce all of our possessions? We
need them to live. However, what we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we have belongs to God alone. All of our
resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others. Once we renounce the idea that we possess or are entitled
to anything, it is much easier to share the many gifts that God has given us. Then we truly are His Disciples.
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, Pres. Of USCCB, has issued a plea to assist the victims of the flooding in Louisiana. Bishop Michael
Warfel has asked that each parish in our diocese take up a collection the weekend of September 17th & 18th. The funds collected will
assist Catholic diocese and parishes impacted by these disasters. Please
give and let us keep them in prayer.
