SHIPWRECKED ~ RESCUED BY JESUS! FUN & FAITH Ages 4½- 11 years old We look forward to navigating with children, youth and adults toward a secluded island for the annual Fun & Faith Program this week. There will be one important Bible point onboard each day that will be reinforced through song, crafts, games and snacks. Stop down at St.James Parish Hall after Masses this weekend to see the amazing setup. Parents, grandparents and others are welcome to stop in anytime during the program to see what fun lessons are being taught. Please keep us in your prayers this week, and if you have any last minute questions, you may call Lea Ann Allen at (920) 246-2885. NEW RECONCILIATION TIMES St. James/St. Joseph: Father Dennis Ryan will be available to hear confessions before Mass at St. James on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, starting at 6:30pm. At St. Joseph, Confessions may be arranged around the 8:15am Wednesday morning Mass. All Saints: Father Paul Demuth will hear Confessions every Saturday afternoon from 3:15 - 3:45pm, prior to Mass. From the Desk of Deacon Cal Dear Parishioners, Yours in Christ, Deacon Cal Naidl The Parisioners of all the Circle of Faith churches wish to thank Deacon Cal for his many years of service to us, our faith, and to Jesus Christ! ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT CATHOLICISM? There are many reasons why people choose to become Catholic. Some are married to a Catholic and are ready to explore this faith further. Some may have attended a Catholic funeral and were moved by that experience. Perhaps some admire a person who is Catholic, and they would like to explore Catholicism too. If you are curious about the Catholic faith, we are offering the R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process again this fall. If you are interested in exploring Catholicism, or have questions about it, please call the parish office. COMMUNION FOR THE HOMEBOUND The strength and graces that come from the Eucharist are available to those who are unable to attend Mass due to illness, old age, or recuperation from surgery. Please call your parish office to make arrangements to have the Eucharist brought to you or a family member. PARISH HOLY HOUR SCHEDULE July 18 Thu. 6:00-7:00pm St. James EUCHARISTIC ADORATION SCHEDULE All Saints 1st Wednesday, 1pm-6pm All Saints - Every Wednesday, 5am-6am - Followed by 1 hour faith sharing Stewardship Message Today’s readings are about being chosen and sent. The prophet Amos was chosen by the Lord and sent to use his talents for the people of God. The Gospel recounts the story of the sending of the twelve. In the second reading, St. Paul reminds us that we, too, are chosen. For what have I been chosen? To whom have I been sent? RECONCILIATION The Sacrament of Penance is offered on Saturday afternoons from 3:00 until 3:45pm at All Saints Church, and on the second and fourth Saturday evening from 6:30 until 7:00pm at St. James Church. We hope you will come and take advantage of the special graces from this sacrament. Safe Environment Each person has an inherent dignity as a beloved child of God. The Diocese of Green Bay is committed to providing a safe environment in our parishes, in our schools, in our Faith Formation programs, and in all of our ministries, especially those that serve children, youth and individuals at risk.

If the person was abused as a minor but is now an adult, please call Jayne Stefanic, Diocesan Assistance Coordinator, at 920-272-8174, or toll free at 1-877-270-8184.
