(1 Cor 12:4-5) Is God Calling You to Care for your Church? The altar and linen care ministries are important to the celebration of the Mass, although the work is done behind the scenes. Altar care is undertaken by parishioners that care for both the altar and the church's interior. Tasks include checking the candles on the altar, polishing the brass and altar furniture, and straightening the books in the pews. This ministry can be done at any time during the week according to each individual's schedule. Want to find out more? Contact Teresa Bone (803-441-8857) for information or to join this reverent ministry. The parishioners who care for the church's sacred linens (purificators, corporals, hand towels) takes the linens home with them once a week, launders and irons them and returns them to the church. A rotating schedule is set up for those who do God's laundry. If you are interested in participating in this special ministry contact Cheryl Smith (803-278-1306). Sign ups will be after all Masses beginning this weekend. We ask that each family bring a dish to serve a minimum of 15 people according to the first letter of your last name: A-F Desserts G-M Salads N-Z Vegetables The picnic will be at the Riverview Park Pavilion on October 12. We will begin at 11am with Mass followed by a Potluck Picnic (the Church will provide chicken & the Knights of Columbus Council #7062 will provide hot dogs.) Mass intentions are requests made of the priests to include an intention as they offer the Sacrifice of the Mass. Only one optional monetary offering may be accepted per Mass. ♥=Living †= deceased.

You don’t want to miss this experience. Also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a disease of the parts of the nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. Nerve cells that control muscle cells are gradually lost, causing the muscles to become weak and eventually nonfunctional. Walking, talking, eating, hugging and even breathing become nearly impossible, although the mind stays sharp. Most people with ALS live 3 to 5 years after diagnosis.

Father Frank DeSiano of the Paulist Evangelization Ministries will be conducting the mission in both English and Spanish. Presentations in English will begin each night at 6:30 p.m., and in Spanish at 8:15 p.m. Additionally, Father Frank will be preaching during all masses prior to the mission and throughout. The main topic for the 2014 Parish Mission will focus on Evangelization while revolving around three themes: Day 1: Personal Faith – discipleship is a constant growth in faith Day 2: Community – discipleship is lived and exercised in communion with others Day 3: Reaching Out – to reveal how God sends all of us forth We are very excited about the Parish Mission and look forward to seeing all of you there!

OLP AUCTION NEWS UPDATE: In the event you were not in town on the weekend of September 7th to hear the announcement about our upcoming parish fundraiser, I’d like to fill you in! The church is hoping to raise money through an auction fundraiser to help cover the cost of carpet replacement in the foyer and narthex areas. If we are really successful, we’d like to give our restrooms a much needed facelift as well. I think it’s important to explain again what we are doing with this fund raiser. To avoid asking for cash donations for major improvements such as this, we are asking, instead, that you open your garages, basements, attics, storage buildings and even your barns and allow me and a volunteer crew to come in and “pick” items you no longer need for a fund raiser auction. Our first auction will be in January and we need these donated items by the middle of November. We have already had a good response from parishioners, and for that, we are most grateful. We need, however, to hear from more of you. The clock is ticking and our collection period will be over before you know it. In addition to having posted my phone number for contacting me, I have decided to add my e-mail address for those of you who like that form of communication: (rcopy_@bellsouth.net) or 803279-7474. Again, for anyone who is reading about the planned auction in January for the first time, here is a list of things that do well at auction but please remember, what you have may not be on the list so call, text or email anyway!!!! Rusty stuff like what you would see in a barn Lanterns Antiques, including furniture Modern, nicer, real wood furniture Household items either new or very clean Jewelry, even costume jewelry, even broken jewelry like that stuff you never use in the bottom of your jewelry box!! Guy related items like tools, hunting, fishing (no guns unless 100 years old) Military gear like helmets, backpacks and more Older coins and stamps Laptops, even broken ones!!! You know you have one in the closet collecting dust. I will wipe the hard drive for you!! Advertising signs like Coca Cola and many others DVD’s Old pocket watches or wind-up wrist watches, especially older ones, (even broken) Musical instruments (even broken) Any wrought iron furniture or outdoor ornaments Old key-wound clocks All are invited (with or without pets) to join OLP School and Parish for the annual Blessing of the Pets on Friday, October 3rd at 2:00 p.m. We will gather at the St. Francis Statue to begin our celebration of all the living things which God has created. Please join us to visit with our special guests and students of our school.
