AID TO OUR MILITARY: Your
generosity in donations has enabled us to continue sending care packages to our
men and women of the military. They do appreciate your support. Our Knights of Columbus continues to mail
these packages. As long as we receive your and the Knights of Columbus support,
our military will continue to receive these care packages. Again, thank
you. As always your prayers are
requested for our military and their safe return. – John Glinka
In the Gospel today, Jesus warns us not to give in to hopes of repayment,
but to give open-handedly to the poor and needy. That sort of giving mirrors the bountiful
giving of God, and Jesus assures us it is blessed indeed!
SPECIAL COLLECTION: The National Collection for the Catholic University of America in
Washington D.C. will be taken next weekend, September 4 & 5. Your contributions directly benefit students

their families donate more than 25 million hours of volunteer time to the
Church each year.
