Renew your spirit.
Come to one of these programs offered by Cardinal Stritch University's Saint Clare Center for Catholic Life.
- Come to the Italian Community Center on September 23 for a breakfast presentation by Dr. Dan Scholz, a scripture scholar and engaging speaker. Dr. Scholz will use the later New Testament writings to look at conflict in the early Christian communities, with an eye toward lessons for today's church. More information is available at www.stritch.edu/FaithAndWork .
- Come to Cardinal Stritch University on Saturday, October 1 for a Morning of Reflection entitled "Instruments of Peace." Come learn more about St. Francis and reflect on how his example can guide us. How can we too be more fully formed as instruments of peace and goodness? For more information, go to www.stritch.edu/SaintClareEvents .
If you have questions about either event, you can call Michael Taylor at 414-410-4353.

10 Points on Good Stewardship for Students
|
|
|
The stewardship way of life is for everyone, even those who
 areyoung. As students go back to school and
another summer has passed, it is a great time to reflect on how a student is called to live out his or her stewardship.
Here are 10 things to focus on as the academic year begins.

Why do Catholics...
|
|
|
Can you explain why priests are doing Confirmations? In the past, only Bishops confirmed. Also, what happened to the slap in Confirmations?
Priests could always do Confirmation in case of an emergency, so of its nature, the power to administer the Sacrament was not confined to the Episcopal order. In practice, it was usually conferred by a Bishop except in the case of an emergency. In recent years, Bishops have been given the authority to delegate ordinary administration of the Sacrament in wider circumstances to make it more readily available.

Merciful like the Father
In the Year of Mercy, every Christian family can become a privileged place on this pilgrimage for experiencing the joy of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the essence of the love which can understand mistakes and mend them.

 St. Matthias Parish School Registration
More than preparing your child for success in the classroom, a Catholic education lays the foundation for a faith-filled and purposeful life. Because our Catholic faith is woven throughout every part of the school day, you can be sure that the values you teach at home are being nurtured and supported at St. Matthias Parish School.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2016-2017 school year. We do participate in the Milwaukee and Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs. Please call our school principal, Mrs. Susan Booth, for information and to schedule a tour, (414) 321-0894.

 Twenty-fifth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Weekend of September 17/18, 2016
In Jesus' parable of the Unjust Steward, we encounter a financial manager who has wasted his master's wealth and faces dismissal from his position. To overcome the crisis confronting him, the steward reduces some very considerable debts owed by poor neighbors to his master in order to help them out. Though the steward has sinned against God and his master by squandering what belongs to someone else, both the prudent way in which he goes about resolving the crisis coupled with relieving people who are in need can be seen as a way to better steward the gifts entrusted to us by God. Although good stewards today acknowledge that they may never use their God-given gifts in a way that completely conforms to the demands of the Gospel, a commitment to using their gifts with prudence and for the purpose of helping their neighbors wins God's favor.

This is through Amazon.com and it allows the purchaser to choose a non-profit group which will receive 0.5% of all your purchases. The way this works is that you can log in to Smile Amazon
(www.smile.amazon.com) just as you would for Amazon. All your Amazon.com services, such as Prime, will carry over to Smile Amazon. You will choose your non-profit benefactor, St. Matthias Congregation. Then use Smile Amazon as you would Amazon.com. Every time you make a purchase, 0.5% of that purchase will be donated to St. Matthias Congregation.
