And here are the September 15 bulletin announcements for our partner parishes:

RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS COLLECTION will be on September 21-22. As you recall the people who have most shaped your life, you may remember the sister who prepared you for First Holy Communion or the brother who coached your high school basketball team. Never counting the cost, these religious shared with you love, faith and a belief in all that you could be—choosing to invest in the future rather than their own. Today, these sisters and brothers may be elderly or infirm. Today, they likely receive an average Social Security benefit of just over $4,500 annually. Today they need you. Please give generously to the Retirement Fund for Religious Collection.

ALUMINUM CANS RECYCLE FOR CHURCH IN UGANDA: Please place your aluminum cans at the back of church. All proceeds go to Fr. Mujule’s local church in Uganda in helping the needy churches, helping needy families, widows, orphans, and students. Thanks and God Bless you abundantly – says Fr. Mujule.
