PRAYER FOR CATECHISTS Heavenly Father, you are the source of life and love. Send down your Spirit upon our catechists. Inspire them to be not only teachers of your truth, but witnesses of your love. Give them the joy to proclaim the Good News of salvation. Help them see your will at work in their lives so that they may share it with others. May they, in their words and deeds, offer continual praise to the one who saves us. Give them the wisdom to teach. Help them discover the mysteries of our faith in new and exciting ways. May their curiosity inspire those who they instruct to become your loyal disciples. We pray to you, almighty Father, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, the Master Teacher, and in unity with the Holy Spirit who inspires us with knowledge, courage, and understanding. Amen. RETURNING TO MASS
After careful consideration, the Diocese of Green Bay has reinstated the obligation to participate in the Sunday Mass effective this weekend, September 19-20, 2020 The dispensation was lifted in a decree issued by Bishop David Ricken on Monday, September 7.
With this news, please note that there are still occasions when the obligation to attend Sunday Mass does not apply:
The faithful who are unable to attend Mass are urged to make holy the Lord’s Day and to pray, read the Scriptures, watch a broadcast or livestreamed Mass and take part in acts of charity. In the guidelines issued for public Masses, it clearly states that face masks are still required and that while restrictions are lifted on the percentage of people at Mass, social distancing protocols will still be upheld. BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY
The next Grief Support Group gathering will be Sunday, October 4 from noon until 2:00pm at St. James Parish Hall. The topic is “Getting Through the Annual Reminders of Your Loss.“ Whether this is your first turn around the calendar, or one of the many years since your loss, this session will offer strategies you can implement.
