Ladies from the Cursillo movement had the privilege to listen to Sister Karyani Raju who worked as Mother Teresa personal secretary for 20 years. What an honor to work for
who we now know as St. Teresa. The theme for the Cursillo Homecoming #6 was “A
life of Mercy and Compassion.” The group listened to, debated and shared sentences such as: Mercy is a free gift. Compassion is the disposition to be kind and assist others. It is an action verb. Be humble, exhibiting humility does not mean to think less of self. Love is mercy, pure and God—like. We are pure and whole. We are challenged to ask ourselves: How is what I am doing affect the Poor?
During this year of Mercy let us perform the Corporal and Spiritual works of Mercy. Our need is to identify self and belong to God.

The Blessing of Catechists and Teachers will be at the 9:00am Mass.

Religious Education will begin on Catechetical Sunday, September 18th after the 9:00am Mass. From 10:15 – 11:15AM.

Sacrament of Confirmation

We welcome our young people in Grades 8 and 9 preparing for Confirmation and their parents to a meeting on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 6:00 pm in the Social Hall . This meeting will introduce you to the formation process for Confirmation here at Sacred Heart.

The sacramental preparation for Confirmation provides opportunities for fun, service, and new prayer experiences. This year, we will have youth who had already been Confirmed to share their faith and discipleship with those who are preparing for Confirmation. We hope that together, our young people will grow in knowledge of our faith, and just like the apostles and disciples, to embrace a deeper faith life and contribute to the mission of spreading the Gospel in the world.

This week, let us pray for all of the families preparing for Confirmation, the adult ministries supporting them such as the Knight of Columbus, CCW, the Breakfast Crew, and the catechists and teachers who are helping them walk in this journey of faith. May the Holy Spirit guide them and empower them to witness to the Gospel.
