Food Bank Day falls on the first Friday in September. It is a great opportunity to give food to your local parish or community food bank collection!
⁣
Prayer: At the end of Mass, the original Latin ending phrase was “Ite, missa est.” While it does mean that the Mass is ended, it is also a call for the faithful to go forth to live the mission of the Church and the Eucharist. How do you bring the graces of Sunday and daily Mass into the broken world?
⁣
Action: Check with local food bank to see what their current greatest needs are, or stock them up with the next upcoming seasonal goods. Some common needed non-perishables include cereal, canned chicken, beans, and toiletries. Consider getting easy-to-open cans…not everyone may have can openers to use.
⁣
Almsgiving: Many of our local parishes have their own food banks or collect for larger food banks. Please give generously!

The Catholic Church celebrates the Passion or Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. A first-century Jewish prophet, the miraculous son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, and the cousin and forerunner of Jesus Christ. He is famous for preaching repentance and baptizing people in the Jordan River, including Jesus himself.
⁣
As an adult, he lived as a hermit in the wilderness. After the Spirit inspired him, he went about preaching that the people should repent of their sins and be baptized to prepare for the Messiah.

On two consecutive days we celebrate two powerful saints: St. Augustine and his mother, St. Monica. St. Monica knew the struggle of having a strained marriage and a wayward, lost child. St. Augustine, as we know, lived an unruly life into adulthood until confronted by the truth of Scripture. In the meantime, he fathered a child; that child would accompany him into baptism and later died around 18 years of age. St. Augustine knew the struggle of an unplanned pregnancy and the horrors of losing a child.
Many pregnancy clinics minister to fathers as well as mothers. For example, Parkville Women's Clinic offers a Fatherhood Program and Father Mentors who support the dads involved in unplanned and crisis pregnancies.
