IN OUR PARISH

MANY THANKS       Dear Parishioners, Thank you so much to all those who donated for the collection for Carla.  I had written to you all for help for a girl in Belize who could not afford to finish school and I was more than thrilled to see how fast the donations came in.  I am so thankful to have a parish that supports me.  I also want to give a special thanks to Kim Lampe, without her help none of this would have happened.  Again thank you for all your help and prayers.  I know Carla will really appreciate it!   Love and God Bless, Caitlyn Shepherd   

CELL PHONES     Please be sure to turn your cell phone off or put it on silent mode before entering church for mass.  

HELP HOMELESS FAMILIES   through the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Tuesday & Wednesday, July 5th & 6th.  Assistance is needed in transporting families in the IHN van to and from Christ Church and the Day Center in Newport , preparing a meal, hosting a meal and spending the night. This is a great way for families and individuals to work together in service. New volunteers will be paired with experienced helpers so don’t let inexperience keep you from answering the call. Call Mindy Hoarston at 547-8415 for additional information or see the sign-up posters at the Rossford Avenue exit of church.   

REGISTRATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED FOR VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL    Vacation Bible School will be held August 1st - 5th from 9:00a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Registration forms are now available in the Parish Office and in the back of church. Please send in the completed form along with payment to Parish Office by July 15th.   Also, we are in need of adult volunteers & student volunteers (grades 7-12) to help with VBS.  If you or your child is able to help, please e-mail Keith Morgeson at kmorgeson@stcatherineofsiena.org. We look forward to a great time this summer at VBS!  

CCD TEACHERS   are needed for the 2011-2012 school year.  We are in search of teachers for the 4th and 6th grade.  Please pray about this and if you feel this is something God is calling you to help with or if you just want more information about what is involved, please contact Keith Morgeson at kmorgeson@stcatherineofsiena.org.  The diocese requires that applicants be Virtus trained and be willing to work on teaching certification for religious education teachers. We appreciate your support of the St. Catherine of Siena CCD Program!

DID YOU MISS GETTING YOUR FAMILY PORTRAIT TAKEN?     If you did, here’s another opportunity for you.  We have made arrangements with Olan Mills to come back for two more days to photograph any families who have not yet had their directory picture taken.  A photographer will be here in McCrystal Hall on Tuesday, July 5th & Wednesday, July 6th from 2:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. You can schedule your photography session by going to https://signup.olanmills.com/familyinfo.aspx?chcontract=60596.  If you do not have internet access, please call Olan Mills at (800)866-2263 and they will help you schedule your appointment.  Father Stef asks that all families please be photographed, as a pictorial directory is a great way for all parishioners to get to know each other.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT (VIRTUS)    Please be aware that if you wish to participate in parish and school activities that involve the presence of children, you need to be trained and in compliance with the safe environment program in the Diocese.  If you haven’t registered for this program but would like to volunteer for school and/or parish events, please contact the parish office.  If you are already participating in the program, be sure to keep up with your monthly bulletins.  The June bulletin is now posted and is due by July 5th.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING CHANGE IN THE ROMAN MISSAL   Each week there will be an article relating to the upcoming changes in the Roman Missal.  (Some of them may be run more than once and they may not follow the Order of Mass.

 

The Prayer Over the Offerings

“I appeal to you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your

bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship”

(Romans 12:1). To conclude the Preparation of the Gifts, the priest appeals to the

assembly: “Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and yours be acceptable to God,

the almighty Father.” Called to pray, the people stand and make their response, holding

themselves in readiness for the Mystery about to unfold. The Mass engages not the priest

alone, nor the people apart from the priest, but the people offering with the priest and

through his ministry. “The celebration of the Eucharist is an action of the whole Church,

and in it each one should carry out solely but completely that which pertains to him or

her, in virtue of the rank of each within the People of God” (GIRM, art. 5).

The Prayer Over the Offerings follows. It asks God to receive the offerings set

before him and to give us, in exchange, the surpassing gift of himself. The faithful,

uniting themselves to this prayer, make it their own by sealing it with the acclamation,

Amen.
