CCD NEWS……
CCD will begin on AUGUST 29 at 6:45 PM IN THE CHURCH and parents are encouraged to attend
as well! This night will be OH SO SPECIAL with a guest performer! ALSO, Sebastian D’Amico
will be speaking on Nov. 28; and we have SO MANY new and exciting events and activities
planned this year!

Our parish has purchased a new religious education series for the elementary grade levels. The new
series is titled, "Finding God" and it has an adaptive kit as part of the series. Pam Riordan, Consultant
for Children's Catechesis for the Archdiocese, has set the following date and time for training with the
religious education teachers of our parish: August 26, from 2:00 until 4:00 pm. Pam may invite other
teachers in our archdiocese to join us for this training session. We will meet in the Knight's Hall.

If you are a volunteer in ANY capacity, you are required to complete VIRTUS training prior to working with children. The
training makes participants aware of the signs of child abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse,
and five easy steps one can use to prevent abuse. We encourage all parishioners to attend this one time training session at
SACRED HEART PARISH HALL – Emporia – Thursday, August 23 (6:30-9:30 PM) OR Saturday, Sept. 8 (9:30 AM-12:30 PM).
Please preregister online at www.virtusonline.org. Light snacks will be provided.

OUTREACH MINISTRY
Due to a few requests, we will be extending our Soles4Souls shoe collection for a few more weeks. Have you
ever bought Zappo’s shoes? They are the company that’s supplying free shipping labels for our boxes of shoes
going to Soles4Souls. We will try to run our shoe collection again later, so let Dorothy Blaufuss or one of the
Outreach committee know when you would like to see it again.

ALSO……Did you know that CCD collects aluminum cans even during the summer? They use the money for
various charities. Please include ONLY aluminum cans—not aluminum pie plates or foil. This is a different grade
of aluminum and must all be sorted out. THANKS! 

ST. ANNE’S CORNER


DID YOU KNOW…….
Annual Fee: Each member of the St. Ann's Altar Society is required to pay an annual fee. Fees are $3.00 each
member; $1.00 for members 75 years of age and older. You can pay your dues using your weekly envelope,
but please be sure to label it St. Anne's annual fee.

Officer Positions: Each year new Officers are elected to fill the Offices of Vice-President, Assistant Secretary

anyone interested to communicate with any of the Society's Officers. 2018 Officers include President Kim
Irwin, Vice-President Carolyn Cole, Secretary Carol Soyez, Assistant Secretary Jade Cole, Treasurer Lindsey
Ratcliff, Assistant Treasurer Aubrey Arnold.

The U.S. bishops urge our participation each Friday in a nationwide Novena for the Legal Protection of
Human Life, August 3-September 28. Participants will receive weekly email or text reminders to pray
and fast, along with little-known facts about Roe vs. Wade to share with others. Sign up at
www.usccb.org/pray!

MARRIAGE MINUTE…….
Work, homework, school activities … these things are all gearing into high speed. Most of
us have heard how important family dinners are, but it is hard to make them happen!
In this weekend’s readings, Wisdom invites people for dinner and Jesus feeds us on his
own Body and Blood. In this context, simple meals together have elevated meaning and are
opportunities to grow in our faith and our love for each other. If scheduling is a challenge, try:
• Get up early and do breakfast together
• Keep one or more nights per week free from outside commitments
• Even if everyone can’t be present for a meal, pray as a group for anyone absent
If you don’t have kids, or they have left home, don’t discount the importance of family
dinner for you as a couple!
