Homily Homework questions from Deacon Peter/
1) What is God’s justice?
2) Who needs me to reach out first to restore in humility, our relationship or their circumstances by my actions?
3) What am I gonna do to start the process of restoration backwards, starting with me?

This week let us PRAY with God on the Sunday’s readings asking “How am I going to help restore the world?” “Do I need to choose to be right or in relationship?”

This weekend, FAM- Family Acts of Mercy, will be making invitations to Grandparents and Grand pals to invite them to our combined Grandparent and Backpack Blessing. In a unique twist the dates for Grandparents Day and our Backpack Blessing coincide this year! Join us in the community room to make your invitation after all masses.

Since not all children have a local grandparent, we invite them to bring someone who is a grand pal to be blessed and to have their backpack blessed for the new academic year on September 12th and 13th at all masses.

Grandparents or pals, you may invite your grands to bring their backpack and come to church with you!

Anyone with a backpack is welcome to have it blessed for the year so come create an invitation for the September event.
