WORLD MISSION SUNDAY We are Baptized and Sent! Next week is World Mission Sunday, in a special Extraordinary Missionary Month. We are called through our baptism to be part of the Church’s missionary efforts, through prayer, self-sacrifice and support of missionary vocations through material aid.

Remembering that we are baptized and sent as a Universal Church of Christ on mission in the world, we can… PRAY for the Church’s worldwide missionary work OFFER financial HELP and CHARITY through The Society for the Propagation of the Faith for vulnerable communities throughout Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands.

Classes resume this Monday, October 14th. We hope everyone had a safe and fun fall break!

Elementary classes began the week of September 9th. There is information on all programs and opportunities for the 2019-2020 year on the website and in the Church and Parish Office. Please make sure your child is registered before coming to class.

Registration is closed to all children receiving sacraments in the spring of 2020. Children attending Catholic School, but wanting to celebrate their sacraments with the Parish need to register for the second semester only in January.

Confirmation and First Communion will be celebrated by Bishop Olmsted on Sunday, April 19th at 2pm. You can still register in the Parish Office through the week, anytime of the year, for Kindergarten, First, Fourth and Fifth Grades.

Please contact me at 480-661-9843 ex309 at the Parish Office or through email kstine@stboc.org with any comments or questions concerning Faith Formation, sacraments for the youth or Adult Confirmation.

God’s blessings,

Kathie

Praying For Christian Workers Such As Pastors, Missionaries and Evangelists Matthew 9:36-38 But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd. (37) Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few (38) Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He will send out laborers into His harvest. (Excerp from LPI)
