Happy Feast Day of St. Monica! This past week we had our first council meeting and began thinking about planning for the next three years. Our Parish Council includes the following parishioners: This council will serve as an advisory body to me and the rest of the staff. We are a nice mix of different races and cultures, young and old, new and long-time parishioners. Over the next few weeks we will be reflecting on the many ministries of St. Monica as part of our “Called to Share” Stewardship campaign. However, it is important that our ministries are effectively ministering Christ to you and the local community. The Parish Council, in addition to advising me, are supposed to listen to you. This is a group that wants to hear your voice and help make sure we are all journeying towards Christ together. This year, the council will be studying the many different cultures and languages that make up our parish and looking at ways we can see our diversity as a gift to be shared with others. As always, thanks for the gift that you are to our parish and have a great feast day weekend!

Peace, Fr. Todd ¡Feliz Día de Santa Mónica! La semana pasada tuvimos nuestra primera reunión del consejo y empezamos a planear nuestros próximos tres años. Nuestro Consejo Parroquial incluye a los siguientes feligreses:

Este consejo servirá como un grupo de ayuda para mí y el resto del personal. Consiste de una mezcla agradable de diferentes razas y culturas, jóvenes y mayores de edad, feligreses nuevos y por largo tiempo. Durante las próximas semanas estaremos reflexionando en los muchos ministerios de Sta. Mónica como parte de nuestra campaña de corresponsabilidad “Llamados a Compartir”. Aunque es importante que nuestros ministerios estén ministrando a Cristo de

una manera efectiva para usted y la comunidad local. El Consejo Parroquial, además de darme consejos, también deben estar supuestos a escucharlos a ustedes. Este es un grupo que quiere escuchar su voz y asegurarse que todos vayamos juntos hacia Cristo. Este año, el consejo estudiará las diferentes culturas e idiomas que conforman nuestra parroquia y buscarán maneras en las que podremos ver nuestra diversidad como un don para ser compartidos con otros. Como siempre, ¡gracias por ser parte de nuestra parroquia y que tenga un día feliz celebrando a nuestra patrona este fin de semana! Paz, P. Todd

Stewardship at St. Monica

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT

KAIROS PRISON MINISTRY

ABOUT THE MINISTRY

The Kairos Prison Ministry addresses the spiritual needs of

incarcerated men, women, youth, and their families. By sharing

the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ, Kairos brings a loving ,

forgiving God to the forgotten, and helps create a Christian

community within the prison setting.

SPIRITUAL GIFTS REQUIRED: Mercy, caring, hospitality

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Attend A Retreat Teams meet five Saturdays to build a catholic team of inter-denominational women or men to lead the Thursday-Sunday weekend experience. The team grows together spiritually and deep bonds are formed through personal sharing, as an example to the incarcerated of how Christians can learn to trust and love.

Bake Cookies/Make Placemats In the weeks leading up to the retreat, people from all of the team members’ congregations bake as many as 50,000 cookies that are distributed to every offender and staff member in the prison. Placemats help make mealtime special.

Take a Prayer Shift Caring and faithful individuals take shifts praying around the clock for the team and the offenders during the entire retreat.

TIME COMMITMENT: Time required to support this ministry is

flexible. It can be as little as one hour of prayer on a Kairos

weekend, one-to-three hours baking cookies, or a weekend

spent at retreat.

HOW THIS MINISTRY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Visiting the imprisoned is one of the Works of Mercy Jesus calls

us to do for others. Showing Christ’s love to others leads them

to Jesus and shows Jesus how much we love him.

TO GET INVOLVED

Contact Anna Brown-Mitchell at [email protected].

THE NEXT COOKIE BAKE TAKE S PLACE IN OCTOBER. PLEASE JOIN YOUR FELLOW PARISHIONERS IN THIS FUN ACTIVITY AND DEMONSTRATION OF CHRIST’S LOVE TO OTHERS.

Sunday collection and of our annual commitment to offering

time in ministry.

The weekend of September 12-13 will be our financial

Commitment Weekend. Everyone will be ‘Called to Share’

asked to complete a commitment

card indicating their support to

St. Monica’s Sunday collection for

the coming year.

FORO DE MINISTERIOS

MINISTERIO DE LA PRISIÓN KAIROS

ACERCA DEL MINISTERIO

El Ministerio de la Prisión Kairos dirige las necesidades espirituales de

los hombres, mujeres, jóvenes encarcelados y sus familias. Al compartir

el amor y perdón de Jesucristo, Kairos espera cambiar los corazones y

transformar las vidas de los prisioneros y sus familiares.

DONES ESPIRITUALES REQUERIDOS: Misericordia, cuidado,

hospitalidad

CÓMO PUEDE AYUDAR:

Asistiendo en el Retiro Los retiros de Kairos en la Prisión

son dos veces al año y se necesita mucha ayuda más allá de

los esfuerzos del equipo que organiza.

Horneando Galletas/Haciendo Mantelitos Semanas antes

de los retiros, miembros de los equipos de toda la

congregación hornean casi 50,000 galletas que son

repartidas a cada prisionero o personal de la cárcel. Los

mantelitos hacen las comidas especiales.

Tome un Horario para Orar Personas fieles y cuidadosas

para que tomen un turno para orar por el equipo y los

prisioneros durante todo el retiro.

TIEMPO DE COMPROMISO: El tiempo requerido para apoyar

este ministerio es flexible. Puede ser tan poco como 1 hora de

oración del fin de semana de Kairos, 1-3 horas horneando

galletas, o ayudando en el retiro el fin de semana.

CÓMO ESTE MINISTERIO HACE LA DIFERENCIA

Visitar a los prisioneros es una de las Obras de Misericordia a las

que Jesús nos llama a hacer por otros. Mostrando el amor de

por otros llevándolos a Jesús y diciéndoles cuanto los ama.

PARA INVOLUCRARSE

Contacte a Anna Brown-Mitchell en [email protected].

LA PRÓXIMA VEZ QUE SE HORNEARÁN GALLETAS SERÁ EN OCTUBRE.

POR FAVOR ÚNASE CON ESTOS FELIGRESES A ESTA ACTIVIDAD

DIVERTIDA Y DEMOSTRACIÓN DEL AMOR DE CRISTO POR OTROS.

Todos Estamos “Llamados a Compartir”

Llamados a Compartir – en las próximas semanas y meses,

empezaremos a ver estas palabras muy a menudo. Llamado a

Compartir es la frase que usaremos al referirnos a nuestro apoyo

anual de Sta. Mónica: para nuestro compromiso anual de la donación

de la colecta del domingo y nuestro compromiso anual para ofrecer

nuestro tiempo en un ministerio.

El fin de semana del 12-13 de septiembre será nuestro Fin de

Semana de Nuestro Compromiso Financiero. Todos seremos

‘Llamados a Compartir’ nuestros dones financieros y se nos pedirá

llenar una tarjeta de compromiso indicando el apoyo a la colecta del

domingo para el próximo año.

Tenemos mucho por lo que tenemos que estar agradecidos aquí en

Sta. Mónica. Somos una parroquia que está creciendo, muy vibrante

en los ministerios; y, necesitamos su ayuda para seguir adelante. El

año pasado, los ingresos de la colecta del domingo fueron $83,000

menos que en los años pasados, y para nuestros 3,100 hogares

registrados, solo el 15% apoya con la colecta del domingo. El apoyo

de TODOS nuestros feligreses es crítico para porder continuar lo que

estamos haciendo.

Horaria por Día del Trabajo La misa en el Día del Trabajo se celebrará el 7 de setiembre a las 9 AM en inglés. NO habrá misa a las 5:30 PM, confesiones or Adoración. También, las oficinas de la parroquia estarán cerradas en el 7 de septiembre.

¡La Doctrina Empieza Pronto! Las clases de la Doctrina para los niños de 4 años hasta el 8vo grado empezarán el 13 de septiembre a las 9:15am y 11:15am. Todos los estudiantes que ya hayan sido registrados se les pide que vayan directamente a sus salones de clase; tendremos letreros fuera de los salones indicando el grado de cada uno. Si usted no se pre-registró, por favor vaya directamente al Centro Emaús (Cafetería) el 13 de septiembre.

Inglés Como Segunda Idioma Clases de inglés como segundo idioma para principiantes e intermediarios empezarán el 10 de septiembre. Las clases son cada martes y jueves de 6:30 p.m. a 8:30 p.m.

Sometimes Life Gets Messy! From messy rooms to cluttered backpacks, social media to random thoughts that throw you off track

throughout the day, the chaos of the teen years can be overwhelming. This state of internal confusion and

external disarray can be frustrating (for teens and parents), but isn’t it good to know you’re not going

through it alone? Whether it’s a heavy class load, social pressures, or even your parents that have you

rattled, sharing the experience with teens who share your faith reminds you that you’re not alone...and can

be a fun and much needed release and reality check.

St. Monica’s Youth Ministry kicks off following 6:00 p.m. Mass on September 13. The kick-off event is for

the ENTIRE family as a means of launching the upcoming year's curriculum, calendar and most importantly

to build community for teens and parents.

Join us for 6:00 p.m. Mass and after Mass celebrate the uniqueness of being a teenager in today's world.

Parents are asked to attend an informal meeting to answer questions, dispel myths about youth ministry,

and meet the people behind the scenes. Teens will build community and recreate. Childcare is provided for

all ages with age appropriate activities. Dinner is provided. The evening will conclude by 8:30pm.

For questions about any aspect of Youth Ministry, contact Daniel Neri at 317-253-2193

or [email protected] or Chris Van Gessel at (260)-241-5325 or [email protected].

Youth Ministry Fall Kick-off Sunday, September 13 after 6:00pm Mass

Is it necessary to recycle? You decide! Did you know that the average American generates about 4 pounds of trash each day? That’s almost 6,000 tons of garbage, per person, in an 80-year lifetime! Think about what you threw away today and ask yourself, “Where is AWAY?” This year St. Monica would like to start a Recycling Team.

Typically, a club or team of student leaders led by a few key adults will champion recycling in a school or parish setting. This is a great structure, because, by recycling, students can really “make a difference” in their school, their community and in the world. Leadership is essential. If you or your child is interested in supporting this program, we will be hosting a KICKOFF meeting on Wednesday, SEPTEMEBER 2 from 3:30—4:30 pm. Please contact me if you are interested in joining me for the meeting by registering at http://whoozin.com/79W-37E-F3VK.

Can’t wait to see how recycling will benefit our school’s overall learning environment!

Mrs. Michelle Boyd Saint Monica Catholic School Principal ¿Es necesario reciclar? ¡Usted decide! ¿Sabía usted que un prome-dio de lo que genera un Americano son casi 4 libras de basura cada día? ¡Esto es cerca de 6,000 toneladas de basura, por persona, en 80-años! Piense lo que tiró hoy y pregúntese a usted mismo, “¿DÓNDE irá esto a dar?” Este año Sta. Mónica desea empezar un Equipo de Reciclaje.

Típicamente, un club o equipo de estudiantes líderes dirigidos por adultos quienes reciclarán en la escuela o la parroquia. Esto es una gran estructura, porque, mediante el reciclaje, los estudiantes pueden realmente “hacer la diferencia” en su escuela, la comunidad y el mundo.

El liderazgo es esencial. Si usted o su hijo están interesados en apoyar este programa, estaremos patrocinando la reunión de inauguración el miércoles, 2 de septiembre de 3:30—4:30 pm. Por favor contá-cteme si está interesado en venir a la reunión registrándose enhttp://whoozin.com/79W-37E-F3VK.

¡No puedo esperar a ver cómo el reciclado beneficiará nuestra es-cuela además de aprender sobre el medio ambiente!
