Remember in your prayers : Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Gavin Francis, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, Norma Cartwright, Dolores Hayden, the Boniewski family, Lonnie Howard, Katie Kon, and Mary Beth Norris.  Also remember in your prayers the homebound, those in nursing homes, those who have no one to pray for them, those in prisons, physical or mental and those who have unspoken prayer requests.
 
TAKEN FROM THE BISHOP’S EMAIL TO PASTORS:
A time honored tradition of the Church is the annual celebration of Masses that are known by the color associated with the profession of those we remember and pray for in a special way.  Specifically they are the:
             Blue Mass for those serving in law enforcement and as first responders
             Red Mass for those serving in the judiciary and legal profession
             White Mass for those serving in the health profession
             Green Mass for those who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces
These Masses have been celebrated annually at the Cathedral, but the Bishop is asking that each parish of the diocese, as much as is practical, also do so.
The  Blue Mass will be celebrated at St. Ann on September 29 ^th.

*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 #136: What is a sacrarium and where is it located?
 
Answer: The sacrarium is a special sink located in the sacristy. The word comes from the Latin  sacer meaning sacred. It drains directly into the ground. It is used to dispose of water used to purify the sacred vesicles and linens used at Mass.
 
Question  #137: We use the word "hosanna" twice at every Mass. Where is it found, and what does the word mean?
The answer will appear in next week's bulletin  along with a new question
