This is a perfect time for parents to get information about Children and Youth Ministries, and to register

their children for sacramental preparation, Youth Group, and children’s religion classes.

Fr. Richard's class begins Saturday, Oct. 6, from 9-11am. This year the subject is Christology; understanding Jesus. What does scripture and two millennia of theology teach us about Christology? Fr. Richard will supplement and reflect on 12 thoughtful Lectures by Fr. Robin Ryan, C.P., PhD. in this Fall-Winter Series. The series begins Saturday, October 6, and will meet in the hall or chapel the first Saturdays of November, De-cember, January, February and March from 9-11am. As you reflect upon your own portrait of Jesus, you will be enriched from the in-sights of Scripture and Theology. Come journey into the heart of our Christian faith. Please sign up in the Community Center near the bulletin board by October 1.

Next weekend, the second collection will be for our Building Fund and the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. Envelopes are available for your convenience in the pews. For more information, please visit www.usccb.org/africa.
