The Church in the Third Millennium. Dying or Thriving? This is the topic of this year’s Blessed Sacrament parish day of reflection Saturday, September 7, 2019, given by Father Sweeney. Is what the Church has to offer no longer needed in the modern age? Has humanity outgrown spirituality? Or does the Church provide the answer to life’s deepest questions of meaning and purpose? Without faith, will humanity self-destruct? Join us in Blessed Sacrament Church Hall on September 7 ^th.  Refreshments at 9 a.m., program from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Brown bag lunch, drinks and desserts provided.  All are welcome.
 
The  St. Ann Page from the bulletin  can  be accessed on the PARISH WEBSITE  www.blessedsacramentchurchandmissions.com  Click on the “ St. Ann Page” under  “News”.
 
 
            
 
*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism" (A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)*
Last week's question along with the answer:
   
Question #133: How many buttons are there on a Cardinal's cassock? What do they signify?
 
Answer: This kind of question is great fun. By tradition, there are 33 buttons on a Cardinal's cassock. These represent the years of Jesus' earthly life. They are to remind his Eminence that he is to "put on Christ." " But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh." (Romans 13:14) Another reminder is the cassock's scarlet color representing the cardinal's blood which he has promised to shed for Christ.
 
Question #134 : Why does a priest traditionally wear black?
 
The answer will appear in next week's email along with a new question
