25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” (Mark 9:35)
Jesus teaches us that we are called to love one another. Love involves sacrifice. Sacrifice is a word that many of us don’t like to hear. We think it means that we must give up something that we want. However, the literal meaning of sacrifice is “to make holy,” from the words “sacer” = sacred and “facere” = to make. In other words, we make our lives holy by sharing our gifts in the service of God.

Dear Parish Family,
THANK YOU for the great love and support you showed in our supply drive for the Hurricane Ida victims of St. Hilary of Poitiers parish in Raceland, LA. None of the major relief efforts have yet made their way to the area, and only small support vehicles are able to get to the hardest-hit areas. The group that delivered the supplies shared Fr. Bruce and Fr. JD's deep appreciation for our support.
The needs continue, especially as they just got their power back and they hope to start school back up, so we will be hosting in the Social Hall another drive this weekend before and after all Masses, to be delivered on Thursday.
We will continue to "adopt" St. Hilary of Poitiers Catholic Church and provide what we can. Here is a list of what they need most now:
Cleaning Supplies
Mops / buckets / trash bags / bleach / PineSol / scrubbing sponges / scrubbing brushes / tubs for laundry / liquid laundry detergent / brooms / dish soap / cleaning wipes / cleaning gloves / tarps / duct tape / flashlights / roofing nails / hammers / bug spray / ant killer / tire plugs / gas cans (new and empty) / chains for locking generators and window units / extension cords / power strips / box fans / solar lights / dehumidifiers
School Supplies
Crayons / glue sticks / safety scissors (Fiskars preferred) / pencils (no lead pencils) / Pink Pearl erasers / plastic folders / marbled composition notebooks / white unruled index cards / wide-ruled loose leaf paper / clear-view binders / binder dividers / colored pencils / highlighters / more can be found at https://www.afriendministry.com/school-supplies-needed

Thank you!
Peace in Christ,
Fr. Michael

Faith, Hope and Love . . . Are these present in your marriage? Have you given up hope that they can be?
In 1 Corinthians 13:13 Jesus tells us the greatest of these is Love. Living in a marriage that is missing love can be difficult. If you have given up hope that your marriage can and will get better, ask your spouse to consider attending a Retrouvaille program. Retrouvaille is an international Christian-based ministry that offers a three-stage program to help couples improve their marriages. First, a weekend program is attended, followed by post-weekend meetings. Finally, an on-going monthly small group of couples gather for support and growth. If improving your marriage is important to you, reach out today.
For more information about our upcoming Retrouvaille Weekend, September 24-26, 2021, contact: Andy and Lilly @ 770.912.4743 or visit our website: HelpOurMarriage.org
