We turn to you now in our need and ask you to care for those who are ill. Protect those who face surgery, and watch over those held bound by infirmity. Through the power of your healing love, free from every disease and suffering those who are beset by poor health. Guide with your wisdom all who provide care, and assist doctors, nurses, and medical workers so that they may effectively relieve suffering and bring health to all who they treat. Amen.

Catholic Social Ministries Food Pantry Catholic Social Ministries Food Pantry in Cape Girardeau, Missouri is breaking ground for its new Food Pantry on Thursday, September 2, 2021 at 11:00 AM. The ceremony will take place on the site of the new pantry, the green space directly behind the present Food Pantry building at Sprigg & William Streets. Very Reverend Edward Rice, Bishop of the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese, will bless the site during the ceremony. All are invited to come! In operation since 2006, the Catholic Social Minis-tries Food Pantry Is one of the largest Food Pantries in Southeast Missouri. It is an outreach ministry of St. Mary Cathedral and Old St. Vincent Church in Cape Girardeau. The Pantry serves residents of Cape Girardeau County including 640 families; a total of 1,800 individuals every month. It is staffed by 40-60 volunteers who work both behind the scenes and in distribution to the clients every Tuesday and Saturday except the last full week of the month. Food is obtained from Southeast Missouri Food Bank in Sikeston, three local grocery stores, food drives and many private donations. 430,000 pounds of food was distributed last year.

Memo from Bishop Rice dated May 27, 2021 With the removal of the mask mandate from Greene Coun-ty, as of today (May 27, 2021), all counties in the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau are mask-free. Out of an abundance of precaution, I ask all priests/extraordinary ministers to follow the precautions below: Continue to refrain from the sign of peace, Continue to offer the Sacred Host only, Continue to sanitize and wear a mask for the distribu-

tion of Holy Communion. If people or their family members are at particular risk, the dispensation still applies.

A Stewardship Moment “Every worthwhile gift, every genuine benefit, comes from above,” says St. James in the sec-ond reading. But, he reminds us, true worship

of God involves using those good gifts to benefit the less fortunate. Good stewardship is not optional; it is the hallmark of our faith!

Attention: Adult Catholic Men You are invited to the Southeast Missouri

Wednesday, September 8th, 6:30-9:00pm St. Denis, Benton, MO

An evening of Adoration, Confession, & a Manly Meal with discussion to follow.
