Vocation Thoughts
“True happiness in life can be seen in the response of
young people who, prompted by faith, have embraced a
vocation to the priesthood or the religious life in order to
serve God’s plan of salvation.” - St. John Paul II
Religious Vocations: Thinking about it? Have ideas to
share? Contact: Richard at Rkozlowski1@woh.rr.com or
Suzi at suzicor@yahoo.com.
Frank & Rosie DeFrench will have the parish chalice this week
as they pray for an increase in vocations to the Catholic
Church. Please call Karen Burgel at 419-427-1855 to reserve
a chalice to have in your home as you pray for vocations.
Have you been FORMED?
FORMED is an excing new gateway to some of the best Catholic
teaching videos, books and audio talks to deepen your
relaonship with Jesus Christ and his Church…all in one place…
accessible on most smart phones, tablets and computers! Access
is easy. Register at FORMED.org then enter the parish code:
YY26R7. Great way to bolster what we believe, why we believe it
and how to live it out every day!
The Mary, Mother of God, Prayer Group invites
you to join us each Wednesday from 7-9pm as we “Break
the Silence” together through prayer and reflection. For

This weekend we celebrate Labor Day, which is the
unofficial end of summer and the beginning of many fall
activities. In fact, when I was in school, it always started
the day after Labor Day. Now we get busier a little
earlier, since we have already been in school for 3
weeks. We are grateful for an excellent start to our
school year and a long weekend to get a little rest.
As we honor all workers this weekend it is a good time to
look at our own work. We devote many hours each week
to our jobs, families, hobbies, and leisure activities. How
many hours do we work each week on our faith? This
may be a good time to think about our work each week
and see if we need to adjust some of our working hours.
Jesus reminds us “Do not work for food that perishes but
for the food that endures for eternal life” (John 6:27). Are
we working for the passing things of Earth or the
everlasting rewards of heaven?
We have many opportunities for you to work on your faith
here at St. Michael the Archangel Parish. We offer daily
Mass, Bible studies, a Catholic School, The Discipleship
and FROGS Programs, Refuge and Arise, The Sherry
Weddell workshop, and many other ministries to be a
part of. We are here to help you on your faith journey.
Also, as we get a chance to rest this weekend remember
to take some time to rest each week. Even God “rested
on the seventh day from all the work he had
undertaken.” (Gen. 2:2)
Enjoy a fall of meaningful work and enjoyable rest.
Peace & Blessings,
Deacon Mike
The Parish Office will be
CLOSED on
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
in observance of
LABOR DAY.
Mass will be held at 9AM in the Main Church.
Please note: No 7am or 12:10pm Masses
Habitat for Humanity
Women’s Build 2016
St. Michael Parish is excited to be
partnering once again with Habitat for
Humanity on their next build, House #37
(337 Arlington Ave., Arlington, OH) titled
“Women Build.” This will be Habitat’s 5th Findlay-area
Women Build, a build designed to empower and engage
women to learn new skills, strengthen our community and
provide a safe place to call home for a family. Yes, pink
will be everywhere, but men are welcome too!
This build will take place during the month of September.
St. Michael’s day to volunteer for the build is
Thursday, September 29th. Our work for the day will be
to Install Trim, Hardware and Fixtures. We will have two
shifts to volunteer, 8am-12pm and 1pm-5pm. We are also
providing hospitality for this day, so we will be asking for
volunteers to help us with the making and serving of food
for the day.
If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering
for this build, working with hospitality or making a food
donation, please contact Mary Umbs in the parish office,
by calling 419-422-2646, or by e-mail;
mumbs@findlaystmichael.org.

Do we care enough about our neighbor to offer assistance is times of doubt?
ACTION FOR THE WEEK
Suggesting a spiritual director, offering to pray with the person, encourage reading of the bible, offer
babysitting, if the person is afraid to speak to a professional offer to take them to their appointment. Try and be

times of doubt.

Jesus tells us in today's gospel reading Couples Corner
that we cannot be His disciple unless
we reject our family and give up all our
possessions. He means that He wants us to
love him above all things and all people and
that even our family is in second place. It
must be the same for us as couples. After God, our spouse
is the most important person in our life and deserves to be
loved completely. Just as Jesus wants us to love Him
through our prayer and meditation, our spouse needs our
love through gentle words and thoughtful actions. As Jesus
died for us we must die to ourselves and give unselfishly to
Him and to each other.

Following a difficult summer marked by racial tensions and
tragic moments across the nation, the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops is inviting Catholics and all
people of good will to pray for peace and an end to violence
and racial tension in our nation. Locally, we will observe this
call to prayer and solidarity by contemplating our call to be a
people of peace and unity during the homilies at school
Masses on September 8 and 9, praying the Rosary for
peace in our classrooms on September 9, and ringing our
church bells at 3:00 p.m. as a sign of solidarity. Please
consider how you will join in our common prayer for
increased understanding and lasting peace.
