We would like to have flowers in our sanctuary each weekend. Many of you probably have beautiful flowers in your gardens, which you would like to share with all of us. This does not have to be a formal arrangement, just a bouquet of your garden flowers. It could be one or two vases or pots of flowers. There are vases in the kitchen, or you may use your own. If you would be willing to provide flowers for one weekend this summer, you are asked to sign up on the bulletin in the narthex.
In Memoriam The Memorial Plaque for donations made for the new chairs in church has arrived and has been mounted to the wall in the vestibule of the Fr. Bannon Hall. All are welcome to take a look and see the beautiful memorial. Please know that we are grateful for your generous donations for the chairs and keeping our church simple but beautiful.
NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Every Sunday during the 9:30 AM Mass we celebrate Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Children come to church, sit with their family until they are called forth at the beginning of Mass, then proceed to the hall where they pray together and share the scriptures in a way, which is more meaningful for them. After a related activity they return to be with their family for the remainder of the Mass. All children are invited to participate. If you are willing to help as a leader or in any other way, contact Sister Mary at 860-633-3317 X 302. Volunteers are asked to sign up on the schedule that is on the bulletin board in the narthex. Information for each week is available in the altar servers’ sacristy.
Children's Bulletins Bulletins for children are available in the narthex every week. One bulletin is for children ages 3-6 and the other is for those who are 7-12. All children are invited to pick up a bulletin as they leave church each weekend. Children who would like to help distribute these bulletins are asked to see Sister Mary.

AUGUST 11, 2013 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Consider the variety of ways we use the word "service" to describe the work of different people. Those who work in government are said to have given themselves to public service. Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines are all part of the armed services. Hotel and restaurant employees are said to work in the service industries, along with barbers, hair dressers, flight attendants, and entertainers, although it is a bit of a stretch to imagine folks like Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, or Stephen Colbert in the same category as the hotel housekeeping staff. Every one of these service-oriented groups also has its caricature of the lazy, inefficient provider. There's the often joked about drivers' license examiner. There's Beetle Bailey of cartoon fame. And comedy skits about airline stewardesses or hotel maids abound. Yet all of these professions continue to distinguish themselves, despite the occasional "bad apple" that may turn up. In the Gospel this weekend Jesus makes it clear that a servant (that is, a believer) must be constantly vigilant. Peter asked directly, "Is the parable meant for us or for everyone?" Jesus didn't answer him directly, but went on to add another parable describing the prudent, industrious servant and the lazy one. We do not know when the Lord will return, and so we cannot rest on our laurels as though one good deed or one proclamation of the Gospel is enough. Yes, we have our employment, our family, our personal needs that we must attend to. But we are also servants of the Lord. When we get up in the morning, while we are preparing for the day and running through in our heads the list of everything we must accomplish that day, one of the things we can ask ourselves is, "What kind of a servant of God am I going to be today?" That can give us a sense of what can guide our actions as we work though the day. ©2013 Liturgical Publications Inc
