mittee; Festival Committee; Home & School; Faith Formation; Worship and Pastoral Care

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL 2015
The funds allocated annually to Catholic Charities West Michigan represent essential seed money that leverages significant additional outside revenue for our vital Social Service programs. This budget subsidy for Catholic Charities West Michigan includes support for counseling, family preservation, adoptions, child welfare services, and emergency needs. Your CSA gift helps support this critical assistance to those most in need.
To date 417 families, representing 31% of our parish households, have pledged $112,078 or 74% of our parish goal. We would like to have 100% participation.
Online gift giving and pledges can be completed at www.dioceseofgrandrapids.org/CSA. If you need assistance with this, come into the Parish Office and Patty or Emily can assist you.
Also keep in mind that any amount raised over our goal is returned to the parish, specifically this year it will go to the Faith in Our Future campaign. If you have returned your CSA card, thank you!

A Family Perspective ~ September 13, 2015
If we want to be happy at home we must commit (lose ourselves) to our family. If we try
to be independent from others (save ourselves) we end up lonely and alone. Happiness is
found in commitments. The Gospel is true: We save our life by losing it!

Morning Offering Prayer: O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.
The Pope asks us to pray for two intentions each month.
These are the intentions for September:
♦ Opportunities for the Young ~ That opportunities for educa-tion and employment may increase for all young people.
♦ Catechists ~ That catechists may give witness by living in a way consistent with the faith they proclaim.

MISSION OF THE CHURCH -
Of her very nature, the Church is missionary. This means her members are called by God to bring the Gospel by word and deed to all peoples and to every situation of work, education, culture, and commu-nal life in which human beings find each other. The members of the Church seek to transform society not by power but by persuasion and by example.
