Eucharistic Adoration
The Importance of A Specific Hour
In order to have a constant vigil of prayer before the
Blessed Sacrament, we must make sure that each hour is
covered. Therefore it is necessary for each person to
commit to a specific hour once a week.
Is Jesus important enough to you to set aside one
special hour each week to be with Him? Just one hour
once a week! This is a simple matter of putting first things
first. “In everything you do, put God first, and He will
direct you and crown your efforts with success.” (Prov. 3:6)
Because we can’t see Jesus, sometimes we take His love
and Presence in the Blessed Sacrament for granted. Your
faith will make this commitment easy! “Faith is confident
assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction
about things we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:11) Your faith
will help you realize this with conviction: The most
important thing that you will do this week is spend an
hour with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
The following hours need to be filled:
Tuesday 6:00-7:00PM and 8:00-9:00PM
First Friday 7:00-8:00PM and 11:00-12:00 midnight
First Saturday 3:00-4:00AM
If you prefer a different hour, any hour is open to be
shared. We also need substitutes. Please call Blanche
837-2652 or Millie 837-7938.
You are always welcome to come and pray anytime.

October: Breast Cancer Awareness
October is breast cancer awareness month. I
know you see the reminders with everything
being pink but here are a few things you need to
know. Breast cancer is abnormal cancerous
cells that form in the breast tissue. The most
common type is ductal carcinoma, which begins
in the lining of the milk ducts. Another type is
lobular carcinoma, which begins in the milk
glands. Invasive breast cancer is when the
cancer that has spread where it began, duct or
gland, to the surrounding normal tissue. Breast
cancer occurs in both women and men,
although male breast cancer is rare.
In 2013, there were 232,340 women and 2,240
men diagnosed in the United States. There
were 39,620 female and 410 male deaths from
breast cancer in the United States. Here are
some other facts about breast cancer according
to the National Breast Cancer Center:
∗
∗
∗
∗
∗
∗
∗
In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be
diagnosed with breast cancer in their
lifetime.
Approximately 95% of all breast cancer in
the United States occurs in women 40 years
and older.
Breast cancer deaths have declined since
1990 thanks to early detection, better
screening, increased awareness and new
treatment options.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause
of death among women
In the United States today, there are more
than 2.9 million breast cancer survivors.
One woman will die of breast cancer every
13 minutes in the United States
Every 19 seconds, someone in the world is
diagnosed with breast cancer
Please be safe and get you mammogram,
screening and early detection are important.
There will be an Athletic Association meeting on
Monday, October 20th at 7:00PM in the school
cafeteria followed by the Men's Club meeting at
8:00PM. All are welcome.
Parish Festival
Although it’s over seven months away some
thoughts are already in place for Festival 2015.
Last year we collected Shop n’ Save stickers to
acquire Rachel Ray dishes for a raffle basket.
We were able to gather enough stickers for
THREE entire sets. One was raffled last year
and two will be raffle next time. Shop n’ Save
has started a new reward offer…..COOKWARE.
We would love to get enough stickers to have
an entire set of cookware at the Festival also. If
you could send any stickers to the parish or
school office it would be greatly appreciated.
Please mark them Parish Festival/Trish.
