Announcements
Are your children interested in participating as a greeter,
lector, server, usher, or gift assistant at St. Mary’s Parish. Youth Mass is the 1st weekend of
each month, October-May. The children
will be rotated, as needed, for each Youth Mass. All children that sign-up for CCD are welcome
to be an assistant. Please see the
appropriate sign-up sheet on the table in back of church. (There will not be a sign-up in the classrooms this year.)
The
Missionary Plan of Cooperation will be held the weekend of August 30 and 31,
2008. We will have the visit of
Missioner-Priest Fr. Ruben Quisver who belongs to the Institute of the
Incarnate Word, a missioner-Institute born in Argentina around 24 years ago,
but already working in 31 countries around the world. As you know, every year, the Diocese invites
missioners to visit our parishes that we may profit from the missioner’s
experience, encouraging us to pray for them and all Catholic Missions. Hopefully these missions will also greatly
benefit from our generous financial support.
Please plan to give generously to assist fellow Catholics throughout the
whole world.
There
will be a retreat September 19-21, 2008, with Fr. Conrad Osterhaus, CFR,
reflecting on the laity’s call to strengthen their spiritual life, held at the Franciscan
Prayer Center, 2100 N. Noland Road, Independence, MO. For more information, call Sister Josephine
Boyles, OSF at 816-252-1673.

Each
Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., the Prayer Group at St. Mary’s meets in the
Chapel in Tally Hall. If you would like
to attend, they would love to have you join them.
Anyone wishing to contribute towards having
memorial flowers on the altar at St. Mary’s should contact Beverly at Lauren
Claire, 542-3477, or Ann Campbell, 542-0234.
The Altar Society will provide flowers two weeks of each month. If you have questions, please call either of

Please
remember that contributions may be made to the St. Mary’s Msgr. Summers Scholarship
Fund at any time during the year. You
may drop them in the offering baskets marked for “Scholarship Fund”, or stop by
the Parish Office during the business hours.
Please continue to save Best Choice UPC labels
and put them in the container in the vestibule of the church. Proceeds from the UPC labels are a fund
raiser for the St. Anne’s Altar Society.
If you have any questions, please contact Judy Adams, who is in charge
of the project. Thanks!
Please remember when you can not serve as a
Mass Assistant on the day you have been scheduled, it is your responsibility to
find someone to take your place. Thank you!
If
you have items of interest for the bulletin or would like a Mass said, please
call the Parish Office with your need instead of telling Fr. or Cheryl in other
places besides church or the Parish Office. If that is not handy for you,
please give them your request in writing so that it will not be forgotten when
they return to the Parish Office. If you have money, please put it in an
envelope and designate what it is for. Thank you.

On the Lighter Side...
INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS:
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex
standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names and small American
flags mounted on either side of it. The
six-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked
up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, “Good morning, Alex.” ‘Good morning, Pastor,’he replied, still
focused on the plaque. ‘Pastor, what is
this?’ The pastor said, ‘Well son, it’s
a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.’ Soberly, they just stood together, staring at
the large plaque. Finally, little Alex’s
voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, ‘Which service, the 8:00
or the 10:00?’
