IN OUR PARISH
***ENDOFBOX***
(2303-0218.tif)NEW OFFICE HOURS....beginning Tuesday, September 5th, the parish
office will be open from 9:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. We hope this will make it more
convenient for parishioners to stop in and take care of any parish business.
WE WELCOME....as our new job share secretary, Tara Rapp. Tara is a member of
Blessed Sacrament Parish and lives in Ft. Mitchell with her husband and two
children. She will be working in the parish office on Thursdays and Fridays.
Please extend your warm wishes to her the next time you call or stop in the
office.
NEW HOMILY CDs AVAILABLE...Fr. Stef’s homilies are being recorded and will be
available on CDs. The CDs are free to our parishioners and can be picked up in
the parish office. If possible, please return the CDs to the office when you
are finished with them.
WHAT IS RCIA?...the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the
sacramental formation process that prepares individuals for a particular way of
life - as a member of the Roman Catholic Church. Conversion is at the heart of
that way of life. The initiation of new members can only take place within the
context of a community of believers. The initiation of
adults is the responsibility of all the baptized. How can parish members become
involved in the RCIA process? One of the most essential parts of the formation
process is the identification of candidates. This is one instance where members
of our faith community play a vital role. Is there someone in your life who has
expressed an interest in knowing more about our faith? Do you have
a spouse, neighbor, co-worker, or anyone who has spoken with you about this
subject? Ninety percent of our candidates come from referrals of parish
members. If you have someone in your life that would like to consider the
possibility of becoming a catholic, please call or have the
potential candidate call the parish office (441-1352), Jeff Rosenstiel
(866-4998), or Paul Meisenhelder (491-9455). The RCIA classes begin on
Thursday, September 21st, at 7:30 p.m. in the school library. Please reach out
to potential candidates and encourage them to make the call or volunteer to do
so for them.
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD....will be celebrated on the second and fourth
Sundays of each month at the 9:00 a.m. mass, beginning September 10th. All
children aged kindergarten to fourth grade are invited. Older children are
welcome to help as singers, lectors, or to help with the younger children.
Adults are needed to act as leaders for this ministry. Please join us for CLOW
and learn how we celebrate the Liturgy of the Word to include children. Join
our adult/teen team by calling Alison Schwalbach at 441-1865.
CCD-RELIGIOUS EDUCATION....Parish families with children entering the first
grade of the public school system for the 06-07 school year should register
those children for the parish CCD program as soon as possible. Information and
registration forms may be downloaded from the parish website at
www.stcatherineofsiena.org. A copy of the child’s Baptismal certificate should
accompany their registration.
CCD TEACHER...Our CCD program is still in need of one “on-fire” parishioner to
co-instruct sixth graders in the upcoming 2006-07 year. Interested individuals
should possess love of Catholicism, children and a willingness to grow. After
prayerful consideration, contact David Kohrs at kohrssd@fuse.net or 441-1069 to
open this door of opportunity and step up in faith!
THE CCD PROGRAM....will hold its opening on Sunday, September 10th. Class
begins for parents and students at 10:15 a.m. Do not be late! A welcoming
reception follows in the gymnasium. Contact David Kohrs at kohrssd@fuse.net or
441-1069 with any questions.
PICTORIAL DIRECTORIES.....are still in progress. You will be informed when they
are available for pick up. If you did not get your picture taken, but would
like a directory, please call Lori Greis at 442-5249 to place an order.
ST. CATHERINE SIENA CLUB...Want to make new friends? Learn a different card
game? Take some great trips? Join up with the St. Catherine Siena Club on the
second Sunday of each month in McCrystal Hall, 1:00 p.m. Back to the hall on
September 10th with old friends and new ones!

***BOXTHEFOLLOWING***
Thank you for supporting the ministries of six Catholic organizations that are
combined into our Diocesan Domestic Needs Collection. Your gifts will help to
develop media programming and projects that promote Gospel values, help college
students’ dreams come true by providing tuition assistance, help those living
in poverty improve their lives and their futures, help Catholics in remote and
poor mission territories live out their faith under difficult circumstances and
support evangelization programs that otherwise may be in danger of disappearing
among the Black, American Indian, Eskimo and Aleute communities of the United
States. If you haven’t had the opportunity to make your gift to Strengthen Your
Church At Home, please do so today or next weekend. Use the envelope you
received in the mail or the one included in your parish envelopes. Make checks
payable to the Diocesan Domestic Needs Collection. Thank you.
