STEPHEN MINISTRY
"It's just not safe for you anymore," they say. "You
could stay with one of us - or look into a place I know..."
You can't live on your own anymore. And it hurts.
Giving up some of your independence, adjusting to new
routines... Let a Stephen Minister share this difficult
time with you. To learn more about Stephen Ministry,
contact Barbara Brennan 458-8922 or Tom Ringenbach
458-0915.

COME EXPLORE CATHOLICISM
Do you have a family member or friend who is
interested in learning about the Catholic faith? Do you
know someone who was baptized Catholic as an infant,
but never received any other sacraments, or attended
religious education or Mass while growing up? Are you
a visitor, curious about what the Catholic Church teaches?
Perhaps thinking about joining the Catholic Church?
Catholic Inquiry sessions: Every Monday at 6pm in
Room 111. All are welcome to join us!
For more info, please call Edie Shanahan, 865-271-9276,
or els947@comcast.net.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In today’s Gospel, Jesus lays out the demands of
following him, the great cost of discipleship. The
Mission Statement of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
states: “Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all
works of charity and justice…the Society makes no
distinction in those served because, in them,
Vincentians see the face of Christ.” Have you
considered answering the call to help serve the poor by
joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? The next
meeting of the Society will be on Friday, September 16
at 1:00pm in the Deacon Jose Rivera Room of the Parish
Family Life Center. Call Larry Finneran at (865) 6579119 for more information. Note that the Society can
also accept donations of working washers, dryers,
ranges and small to medium size refrigerators.
PRAY THE ROSARY
You are invited to come early to the 5:00 PM Mass and
pray the Rosary of Our Blessed Mother Mary, at 4:30 PM.
PARISH OFFICE CLOSING
Monday, September 5th in observance of Labor Day.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
MUSIC LITURGY
We could use some help on a new project; providing
help with weekend food packages to students in
financial need at Loudon County’s North Middle School.
Once a month you would pack bags containing nonperishable food. These would then be disbursed to
approximately fifty qualifying students. Your time
commitment would be two hours per month. Please
consider taking advantage of this opportunity to put
your Faith into Action. Call Katy Finneran at 657-9119 or
e-mail her at finnerankathleen@gmail.com to volunteer.
Join us for a fun-filled season of music and liturgy!
Rehearsals at 6:30 pm Wednesdays and 45 minutes
before Sunday Masses.
BEING MORTAL BY ATUL GAWANDE
On September 15, 6:30 – 8:00pm, in PFLC, Fr. Doug will
speak on the book Being Mortal by Atul Gawande.
Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his
profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of
life is the desired goal for patients and families.
Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially
fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent
elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to
demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may
be rich and dignified. Reading this book is not required
to attend Fr. Doug’s talk. Both the book and the talk are
suggested as excellent ways to prepare for the End of
Life Seminar in October. Please secure your own book.
YOUR PARISH NEEDS YOU!
Can you make yourself available four
hours per month to serve your
parish? We are very much in need of
volunteers to join our Housekeeping
teams. You need only to commit four
hours per month, and be willing to
work with a team of other St. Thomas’
parishioners. We can keep our parish facilities clean
and beautiful by working and serving together. Please
consider joining us in this important work.
OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL IS
OUTSTANDING
JOIN US FOR FALL PARISH WORK DAYS
FRIDAY & SATURDAY, September 16-17
Father John Savocca council #12633, St. Thomas the
Apostle Parish received the STAR Council Award for
2016.
Councils with outstanding achievement in
membership, insurance and service programs qualify for
the award. This is the most prestigious award a
Knights of Columbus council can earn.
Please join us for fall parish work days as we spruce up,
clean up and fix up our parish. We have lots to do, both
inside and out, and your help is needed. No special
skills required, just enthusiasm and a desire to serve.
Let us know which days and times you are available to
help by adding your name to the sign-up sheet in the
church or the PFLC, or call/email to let us know your
availability:
To qualify, a council must have received the Columbian
Award requiring four of the major service programs in
Church, Community, Council, Family, Culture of Life and
Youth. In addition a membership and insurance goal
must be met.
For several years the council has met all requirements
for Star Council except an increase in membership. This
year our recruitment drive was very successful helping
us achieve this award.
Council 12633 is a great council. Our members embody
the principles of the organization: Charity, Unity,
Fraternity and Patriotism. We are proud to have been
recognized as a Star Council. Why don’t you consider
helping us to achieve Star Council next year? We invite
you to join us in service to our parish and community.

of Columbus contact Jerry Dougherty, membership
director,

MOVIE NIGHT AT ST. THOMAS
Monday, September 5, 6:30 PM, PFLC
Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine. Uses a
historic backdrop to tell the story of one of the Church's
most beloved and well-known saints. It’s message of
sin, conversion, redemption is as timely today as it was
in the 5th century of St. Augustine. He had a brilliant
mind, but was seduced by power; he was lost but
wrestled with the truth. “You have made us for yourself,
O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in
you.” St. Augustine
MONTECARLO QUARTET CONCERT
Sunday, September 18 @ 2:00PM
Montecarlo Quartet Concert tickets will be on sale in
