FOSTER CARE RESPITE TRAINING September 27th, 6:00 Haban Hall Respite care is a method of providing temporary respite (a break) for licensed foster parents. By receiving training you are taking a first step to experience the great rewards that come from making a difference in a child’s life. For many years foster parents in our community have provided tem-porary & long/short-term care to children and adolescence, ages 0-18, who must live apart from their own families for various reasons. These unique and wonderfully caring indi-viduals open their home and hearts to parent another’s child during a time of family crisis.

YOUNG ADULT BIBLE STUDY Each week will consist of a weekly conversation topic, a

game, and fellowship. In this Bible study, we will not talk

about high and mighty things; we will have conversations

about how scripture passages relate to daily life. Topics will

include discipline, prayer, commitment and worry. The fo-

cus is to have a good time, grow in holiness and enjoy each

other’s company. For information about times and loca-

tions, or for general questions, contact Nick at 634-5526 or

martinn@archmil.org

Our sympathy and the promise of our prayers to the family of Fr. Michael G. Savio. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the

mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Birthright of Racine) has as its purpose to serve women by

child to be born. As a pro-life pregnancy center, the Alpha

ANOINTING OF THE SICK September 23rd and 24th

We will be celebrating the sacrament of the anointing of the

are sick, or have an ongoing illness or are suffering the in-

firmities of old age are eligible to receive the sacrament.

The communal celebration of this sacrament, like all the

sacraments, finds its normative setting at the heart of the

parish community during Mass on the Lord’s Day. If you

know people who would benefit from this sacrament of

healing, they are invited to partake of this sacrament during

Mass.
