Pray for Vocations

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God has created each of us with gifts—treasures like the pearl in today’s Gospel. How are we being called to give back? We all have something to give, because God has been generous with us. Some have more time, some more talents, some have more monetary resources. How can you share what God has given you this week? Can you be present to someone in need? Can you look at those who are begging on street corners? How can you share the treasure of yourself this week?

Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center in Belton (254)780-2436 www.cedarbrake.org

cedarbrake@austindiocese.org The Healing Journey—August 3 Forgiveness is a commitment to a process of change. It can be difficult and it can take time. Everyone moves toward for-giveness a little differently. The desire to forgive is more about how it can change your life by bringing you more peace; emo-tional and spiritual healing. Forgiveness is not about excusing or condoning the pain inflicted on you. It is about letting go of that pain so that you can heal. This day is designed to bring you to a deeper understanding of forgiveness and to experience God’s healing power. Presenter is Beverly Collin, assistant di-rector at Cedarbrake along with The Mercy of God Prayer Team. For more information contact Cedarbrake at (254) 780-2436 or visit www.cedarbrake.org. Hearing the Voice of God—September 18 Listening to the Voice of God Retreat will be at St. Mary’s in Waco, TX. Grow in a deeper relationship with God by learning how the Lord speaks to us in our everyday life. Franciscan Fa-ther Albert Haase, OFM, will present this day based on his best-selling book entitled, SAY ING Y ES; Discovering and Respond-ing to God’s Will in Your Life. For more information contact Cedarbrake at (254) 780-2436 or visit www.cedarbrake.org The Shepherd Who Didn’t Run—Sept. 29– Oct. 1 Father Stanley Rother died a martyr on July 28, 1981, in a Gua-temalan village where he ministered to the poor. His life re-mains a testament to the difference one person makes. Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda, author of the award-winning official biog-raphy of this American martyr, will present this weekend re-treat. She will highlight five personal qualities Father Stanley proclaimed with his life. For more information contact Cedar-brake at (254) 780-2436 or visit www.cedarbrake.org 100 Years, Our Lady of Fatima– October 13 In the spring of 1917, three children reported a vision of a beau-tiful lady in Fatima, Portugal. The last time the Blessed Mother appeared to them was Oct. 13, 1917. Her message continues to be one of prayer, especially, praying the rosary for peace. Brian Egan, Beverly Collin and Deacon Klaus Adam will lead the day of prayer in honor of the 100th anniversary of Fatima. For more information contact Cedarbrake at (254) 780-2436 or visit www.cedarbrake.org

SAAM Food Collection Sunday, August 6

Volunteer Sign-up At the entrance of the church is a sign-up sheet. If you are able to give of your time and talent, St. Ann is in need of more Pa-rishioners to serve in the following Ministries: Extraordinary Ministers of the Holy Communion, Greeters and Ushers, Lec-tors, and teachers for the Religious Education Program. There are other areas Parishioners may wish to consider to support the Parish: joining the Knights of Columbus or the Altar Society group of women (SACCW), singing in the Choir, helping to keep the Church clean, or just letting St. Ann know that you can be called upon to help whenever there is a need. As Jesus Christ said, “Whatever you do for the least of my people, you do for me.”
