PRAY THE ROSARY!!
Have you been troubled by the apparent loss of a just and moral society, or perhaps, some suffering in your family and wanted to help but did not know how? If you are praying the rosary, then you are already helping!
Sr. Lucy of Fatima said the following in 2002 before her death; “The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary, to such an extent that there is NO problem, no matter how difficult it is, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, or even the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is NO problem, I tell you no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary” - Sr. Lucy of Fatima.
If you are not already praying the daily rosary, please join all those who are!

WE ARE CALLED TO SERVE
When I was ill you cared for me. What you did for the least of these you did for me. (Matthew 25:35)
Throughout Scripture, Jesus calls us to serve. He commands us to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, provide shelter to the homeless and visit the sick. How do you answer Jesus’ call to serve?
On any given day there are more than one hundred Catholic patients at IU, Riley, and Methodist Hospitals. It is our Catholic tradition to provide daily Holy Communion and fellowship to our hospitalized brothers and sisters. Many of these Catholics have been away from the Church for years. Their hospital stay may well be their only contact with the Church. Like you and me these people will one day come face to face with their God. We have the opportunity to influence each patient in some way and possibly have an effect on their eternal soul.
There is currently an urgent need for volunteers to bring the Eucharist to these patients.
I invite you to prayerfully consider this call to serve. You need not be a current Eucharistic Minister in your parish as volunteers are trained for the hospital and then commissioned. Training is provided by the hospital and chaplaincy service. Scheduling is flexible. Volunteers are needed to serve once a week or as occasional substitutes. Normally it takes two to three hours to visit the patients on any given day. Parking at the hospital is provided for volunteers.

Listen to the Voice of Creation - Season of Creation 2022
From September 1 (World Day of Prayer for Creation) to October 4 (Feast of St. Francis) each year, the Christian community celebrates the Season of Creation by praying and acting together to protect our common home. The 2022 worldwide theme is “Listen to the Voice of Creation”, a focus on the voices of those who suffer the impacts of climate change, those who are muted in public forums, and the voices of people who hold generational wisdom about how to live gratefully within the limits of the land. The flame of the Holy Spirit calls us to listen to the voice of creation. Learn more on the Archdiocese Creation Care Ministry website www.ourcommonhome.org/season-of-creation

Cursillo: An Encounter with Christ
As your faith is challenged in a pluralistic world, ask yourself . . . Do you want to live your faith in your daily life? Do you desire a Catholic Community with which to share your faith journey? Do you wish to enrich your relationship with God? Do you want to be more confident in sharing your faith with our secular world?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Cursillo will help you develop, live and share your spirituality in today’s society.
Now is the time to sign up for the fall weekends. The Men’s and Women’s weekends will be held at St. Joseph’s Retreat and Conference Center in Tipton on September 29 – October 2 and October 13 – 16 respectively. Only 30 participants from Central Indiana can attend, so please reserve your spot as soon as possible. Cursillo is a great next step for those who already have participated in Christ Renews His Parish. The applications and information about the weekend can be found on the Cursillo web site - http://www.cursillo-cicc.org/. You may also contact Ann Stankiewicz (317) 578-0886 for more information.
