Prayer Requests

Holy Name of Jesus parish, families, youth, & the youth ministry program; an increase in respect for all human life; an increase in holy vocations to the priesthood, religious life, & marriage; all politians & world leaders that they will uphold the sanctity and dignity of every human life, which will lead to peace and moral living throughout the world; all who are sick and suffering in the world; all who are in most need of God's grace this day; all who are in most need of God's mercy this day; the conversion of all souls; for all the holy souls in purgatory;

We pray that God would send holy and Spirit-filled laborers into the vineyard. "The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Matthew 9:37-38)

Pope Benedict is Amazing!

Among the reasons that Pope Benedict is so fantastic is this from his vigil homily at World Youth Day:
"Dear young people, do not be satisfied with anything less than Truth and Love, do not be content with anything less than Christ."
You can, and should, read the whole thing here.

High School

Hey, I've got good news!
If you are a high school student and you belong to Holy Name of Jesus parish you're invited to come to Bible Study on Wednesday evenings starting September 28th right after Mass. So... roughly 6:30-8pm. I mean, really, there's nothing good on TV on Wednesday any way right? Exactly! Let's do something worthwhile. Come to the school library, in the basement of the school near Hartman Hall.
We'll be studying the Gospel of Luke.
If you think about it, get a yellow permission slip from the church narthex this Sunday.

EDGE Nights

I wanted to take a minute to remind everyone that EDGE Nights will be 4-5:30pm on Mondays starting September 12. We want to encourage kids who go to public schools to attend our youth ministry events as well. We'll be talking about the Sacraments this semester. I hope to see you all Monday the 12th at 4 o'clock.
