the Eucharist.

Miraculous Prayer to the Little Flower

O Little flower of Jesus, ever con-soling troubled souls with heavenly graces, in our unfailing interces-sions I place my confident trust. From the heart of our Divine Savior, petition the blessings of which I stand in greatest need...........Shower upon me your promised roses of virtue and grace, Dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbor, I may someday receive the crown of life eternal. Amen

August 16, 2020 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Welcome to St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin 2

TROOPS of ST. GEORGE WISCONSIN RIVER 2020 CANOE TRIP The Troops of St. George (Catholic scouting group) went on their annual Wisconsin River canoe

trip on Sat/Sun August 1-2. Mostly dads with their sons, we began our 12-mile canoe trip once

again at the Wisconsin Dells, canoeing about 9 miles on Saturday, then camping on an island. Fr.

Campbell offered Mass Sunday morning and after a quick breakfast we finished the trip.

The photo to the left depicts some from our group

(Robbie and Peter George in the canoe to the left) as

we began our canoe trip with a picturesque view of the

Wisconsin Dells. We had beautiful weather both days

(upper 70’s and sunny), and the Wisconsin River was

flowing nicely which made the paddling easy.

Fr. Campbell was joined in his canoe with his brother

John. They did some fishing while paddling down the

river, and caught some smallmouth bass and northern

pike – which were filleted that evening and eaten by a

number of people from our group.

As we began to set up camp on an island, we

started a fire and pitched tents. The evening

was warm, we were fortunate to have no rain,

and the mosquitos were not too bad.

Later that evening we sat around the fire and

prayed the Rosary together before heading to

our tents and getting in our sleeping bags for

the night.

If any boy wishes to join the Troops of St. George, please contact Mr. Ed Harrigan at

edmondmharrigan@gmail.com.
