The Back to School Mass will be on September 2nd at Noon. Everyone is welcome! There will be a picnic following at the Herman Laird Park. It is located on Johnson Drive & Cody in Shawnee. Please bring your own lunch and drinks for your family. Those with any questions may call Maria Perez.
Altar Servers
We will begin server activities for the coming year soon. We will have a Knights of the Altar initiation ceremony on Saturday, September 20th after Mass to start the year off. If you have any questions, email or call Sean Maher.
Children's Choir will resume practice on Sunday Sept. 7. Practice will go from 10:30 to 10:55 a.m. on Sunday mornings in the K of C room. All returning children are welcome as well as any new ones ages 8-15 who can match pitch and read well. Girls over 15 who would like to sing please contact Cecilia Csanaky.
Please mark your calendars: Our Annual St Rose Philippine Duchesne pilgrimage to Mound City and the shrine will be on September 13th.
Holy Mass will be held at 10:00 am at Sacred Heart Church in Mound City, KS. Sack lunch and Stations of the Cross will follow at the Shrine. Flyers with directions will be available in the back of the church.
If you would like to contribute to the Burse, you can give your donation to Greg Gomer, Kevin Fogarty, Roger Marrs or John Watkins.
Fr de Freitas will start a conversion catechist course on Mon. Sept. 15th at the Merriam community center, starting at about 7pm. The course is for non-Catholics who would like to become Catholics, so if you have friends or family who might be interested in knowing about the Catholic faith but have been hesitant to make any inquiries, now is a perfect opportunity to invite them along. Also if you are a Catholic and would like a brush up on the Catechism, this may also appeal to you. Donuts and coffee will be served.
Classes Resume In September
Adult classes will resume in the middle of September, as will Youth group.
In the middle of September we will start offering a 6:30 AM daily Mass; also, in order to pray for vocations, on Tuesdays immediately after the noon Mass, we will have approximately 15 minutes of Exposition, during which time we will pray the Memorare, sing the Litany of the Sacred Heart and then end with Benediction. Precise dates for all this will be upcoming soon.

Sunday Irene Koster
O Holy Angel at my side, go to church for me, kneel in my place at Holy Mass. At Offertory in my stead take all I am and own, and place it as a sacrifice upon the Altar Throne. At Holy Consecration’s bell adore with Seraph’s love, my Jesus hidden in the Host come down from Heaven above. Then pray for those I dearly love and those who cause me grief, that Jesus’ Blood may cleanse all hearts, and suffering souls relieve. And when the Priest Communion takes, O bring my Lord to me, that His sweet Heart may rest on mine, and I His temple be. Pray that this Sacrifice Divine may mankind’ sins efface, then bring me Jesus’ blessing home, the pledge of every grace. Amen
From Thomas á Kempis
THE VOICE OF CHRIST
MY CHILD, in this life you are never safe, and as long as you live the weapons of the spirit will ever be necessary to you. You dwell among enemies. You are subject to attack from the right and the left. If, therefore, you do not guard yourself from every quarter with the shield of patience, you will not remain long unscathed.
If you look for rest in this life, how will you attain to everlasting rest? Dispose yourself, then, not for much rest but for great patience. Seek true peace, not on earth but in heaven; not in men or in other creatures but in God alone. For love of God you should undergo all things cheerfully, all labors and sorrows, temptations and trials, anxieties, weaknesses, necessities, injuries, slanders, rebukes, humiliations, confusions, corrections, and contempt. For these are helps to virtue. These are the trials of Christ's recruit. These form the heavenly crown. For a little brief labor I will give an everlasting crown, and for passing confusion, glory that is eternal.
(The Imitation of Christ Book 3, Chapter 35)
