PRAYER FLAG
You can be a part of the upcoming East Coast ECC Retreat even if you can’t attend in person.
We will be creating a prayer flag as a community reflecting the theme of hope and an expression of our community. THIS SUNDAY (Sept. 7) we will have everyone add their signature to the back and use our fingerprints to make a boarder around the outside of the flag. So stick around a few minutes after mass this Sunday! Free stickers!

COVID-19 cases are once again rising across the United States, and health experts believe a new variant, called XFG or ‘stratus,’ may be to blame. The increase is happening earlier than expected, and we are also entering cold and flu season!!!
Please try to stay healthy! We just want everyone to be cautious. If you are not feeling well, please test or quarantine until you are feeling better.

Prayer of the Week: STEWARDSHIP PRAYER FOR SEPTEMBER Heavenly Father, September is a month that offers hope for things to come: our daily life has a new rhythm, there are new beginnings and new encounters, and a new energy is seen in the parish community. In this month of accelerating activities, keep us mindful that we live for Christ and not for ourselves. Give us the strength and the wisdom to be “Doers” of Your Word, and not just listeners; to be good stewards of the Gospel each and every day. In this month of transition help us find a deeper spiritual balance in our lives that takes time for you, listens to the promptings of your Spirit and gives us hope that the body of Christ has well begun the transformation of a troubled world. We ask this through your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
