Archbishop Etienne is inviting all Catholics to support National Disaster Relief in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and the anticipated impact of Hurricane Milton. We strongly encourage donations to Catholic Charities USA, where funds can be immediately directed to assist with this urgent crisis. You can give directly at: http://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org

Additionally, a second collection will be held at all Masses this weekend for National Disaster Relief. The proceeds will be sent as one final check to the Chancery by November 1, 2024.

Tổng Giám Mục Etienne kêu gọi tất cả người Công Giáo ủng hộ Quỹ Cứu Trợ Thiên Tai Quốc Gia nhằm ứng phó với sự tàn phá do bão Helene gây ra và thiệt hại dự kiến từ cơn bão Milton sắp tới. Chúng tôi khuyến khích quý vị quyên góp trực tiếp cho Catholic Charities USA, nơi mà các quỹ có thể được sử dụng ngay lập tức để giúp đỡ trong tình trạng khẩn cấp này. Quý vị có thể đóng góp tại: www.catholiccharitiesusa.org.

Ngoài ra, sẽ có một đợt quyên góp thứ hai trong tất cả các Thánh Lễ cuối tuần này dành cho Quỹ Cứu Trợ Thiên Tai Quốc Gia. Số tiền quyên góp sẽ được gửi một lần duy nhất đến Tòa Giám Mục trước ngày 1 tháng 11, 2024.

WHY REGISTER IN A PARISH?

A Catholic parish is the single most important part of our Catholic Church. Our church is where we continue the mission of Jesus Christ. Here we publicly express our faith and give witness of our communion with God and with one another.

There are several reasons to register:

· A sense of belonging and identity in a parish community.

· Provides the parish community with a way to welcome you.

· In times of joy and in times of struggle, you have the support of a faith family.

· It is a commitment to practice your faith.

· Gives a chance for you and your family to be counted and heard in the parish.

· Registering includes you in the planning for the needs of the parish.

· Gives the parish a way to connect with you, especially when family has the dying person.

· Guidance to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, or Holy Matrimony, and Reconciliation

· Will facilitate the registration process at PSJ STEM Academy if you have children who plan to attend.

September Recognition Ceremony

Each month we celebrate one trait that helps build character in our students and our school community. For the month of September, the theme is respect. Help us celebrate our recognized students for exhibiting respect at PSJ STEM Academy.

What is Respect?

Respect is caring enough to consider how words and actions impact others.

Having respect is when you feel good about someone because of how they act.
Showing respect is when you care how your actions impact others.

When you act with respect, you are choosing how you act in order to preserve something you value. Respect isn’t simply about being polite or showing admiration; it’s about acknowledging the things you value and acting in a way that honors their worth. Thinking of respect from this perspective helps human behavior make more sense:

When we respect someone or something, we treat it with appropriate care because we feel there is a good reason to do so. Respect means you care enough to think about how you impact others.

"What is respect" is a big concept to grasp. You might hear about having respect or showing respect. At the heart of respect is caring. In simple words, respect is caring how words and actions may impact others. Respect has two parts: 1) having respect for someone because of how their actions impact others and 2) showing respect by changing your actions to be sure you don't have a negative impact.
