The 2017 Annual Catholic Appeal Live In Faith, Give In Love

If you did not get a commitment envelope last weekend, please pick one up today for this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal. I am encouraging everyone to take part in this program, especially at this time because St. Augustine Church can benefit significantly from your support and serve literally hundreds in need through our vast network of programs and services. Please join me in making this a successful appeal by making your pledge today. Our goal this year is $37,584.00. Please help us reach our goal by making a pledge. Thank you for your consideration.

Back to School Supplies Drive To benefit our sister Parish, St. André Parish School, Dufort, Haiti. For students and teachers. Please drop off school supply donations before or after Mass in the boxes at the back of the Church. For more info on donating, please contact catechistmom@aol.com. Sponsor by the Haiti Support Group.

By: Deacon Dean Dobbins

The word vocation comes from the Latin word vocare, which means “to call.” Though we tend to think of vocations as jobs we choose like being a teacher, investment banker, or an electrician, a vocation in the Church is not something we choose but rather something God calls us to live. When we decide on careers, we usually make the choice based on our gifts and abilities, likes and dislikes. If God calls us to the vocation of a religious sister, parish priest, deacon or even a parent, it is in spite of our gifts and abilities because he uses everything that we are, even our weaknesses. The place to begin is simply to ask our Lord. Prayer is the most important place to begin when discerning any vocation. With prayer, we can also look to signs in our lives that the Lord uses to open our eyes to his will for us. If you find yourself answering “yes” then it is quite possible the Lord is calling you to a life that is more rewarding than you could ever imagine. You can do several things if you feel you might have a vocation to the priesthood, diaconate or religious life. Of course, these are things all of us can do to grow in holiness but they are especially important for those who are discerning a call to priesthood, diaconate or religious life. Here is are five things to get you started: Go to Mass, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Daily Prayer, Read the Gospels, Talk to a Priest, Deacon, or Religious. Discern the call and God will take care of the rest. PLEASE NOTE: During the month of August there will be NO Spanish Mass on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m & NO Baptisms for infants and small children.
