Loving God, awaken within the hearts of many
a call to minister as religious sisters and brothers;
as deacons or priests; as married couples or
as single persons. Grant us all the grace to draw
others to the Gospel and to promote vocations
in our daily lives. Give us a desire to serve others
as you have served us.
Please pray for all seminarians.
Your prayers and support make a difference.
Help in creating a culture of vocation.

PARISH NEWS AND EVEN TS
PARISH SCHOOL NEWS
RCIA Are you, or do you know someone who
has expressed an interest in becoming
Catholic, who has a child over the age
of seven who has not been baptized,
was baptized Catholic as a child, but
has not celebrated the sacraments of
Confirmation and Eucharist, or is
interested in learning more about our
faith?
Our parish of St. Martin will be starting
a Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
(RCIA) group very soon to help those
wanting to come into the faith, receive
Sacraments, or just learn more about
the faith. We will have two inquiry
sessions for those who would like some
more information about the process of
becoming Catholic and setting up
further meeting times on: Thursday
August 27th and Sunday, August 30th at
6 pm in the Cafeteria/Church
basement. (You only need to attend
one). If you or someone you know
would like more information please feel
free to contact Mark McGuire
at [email protected] or the parish
office.
PSR Registration is open for the PSR (Parish
School of Religion) Program. Registration
forms are available in the back of
church. Contact Mark McGuire at
[email protected] or the parish
office if you have questions.
CONFIRMATION Our next Confirmation Program will
be open to those in 7th-9th grade in
the 2020-2021 school year and any
other high school students who have
not yet been confirmed. Volunteer
group leaders are needed. Contact
Mark McGuire or the parish office if you
would like to be a team leader.
ADULT FAITH FORMATION We will be meeting on Tuesdays
after Mass, beginning August 25 in the
cafeteria. “Discover the Scriptural
roots of the Eucharist” explores the truth
and beauty of Christ’s Real Presence in
the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred
Scripture, to its profound role in the life
of the Church and its members. It is the
crescendo of the entire story of
salvation. Everyone is welcome.
We are move'n and a groove'n - each
day brings us closer to the first day of
school. As a staff, we will be meeting for
three days of planning, tweaking and
team- building. The other two days will
be spent making sure the school is ready
to welcome the families to our Open
House on Sunday, August 16. The Open
House will be quite different this year.
The students will bring their supplies,
drop them off in their classrooms, get
their school picture taken and then
head outside to have grilled hot dogs
hosted by our Back-to-School Blast-Off
Team. (Thank you to Mrs. Jill Cremer who
has put together this event.)
We have taken the added precaution
of having the families schedule a time
to visit, which allows us to somewhat
control the crowd size, and be able to
disinfect between each shift. To help
with social distancing the teachers will
meet their students outside. While in the
building, everyone will be expected to
wear a mask. We are so thankful that we
still are able to come back together as
a Jaguar Nation.
This past week we said good-bye to
Travis Hoskins, who had been our
maintenance custodian for nine years.
His dedication, attention to task and
pride in his job was only overshadowed
by his love for the students. He enjoyed
grilling hot dogs for them on Summer
Blast-off day, playing volleyball against
the eighth grade and proudly displayed
the many pictures and cards the children
gave him on the custodial closet door.
He will be missed. We wish him the best
of luck in his new job and ask God to
bless him in his new endeavors.
We will be hosting a "PLAY DATE" for our
incoming preschool and prekindergarten
students next Wednesday, Aug. 12.
Parents and their preschooler/
prekindergartener are welcome to
attend this impromptu meeting which will
be held on the playground on the west
side of school. Playtime for the children
will begin at 5:30, followed by a question
and answer session for the parents at
6:00. Come meet your child's teachers,
other families and your child's new
friends.
RELIGIOUS RETIREMENT FUND Next weekend will be the annual
collection for the Retirement Fund for
Religious. Proceeds will assist
congregations of sisters, brothers and
religious priests to care for their elderly.
Your donations will help furnish
medications, nursing care, and more.
There is an envelope in your monthly
packet for this special collection.
PICNIC St. Thomas the Apostle Parish is hosting
their picnic on Sunday, August 16.

hosting a talk “The Miracle of Fatima”
with guest speaker Barb Ernster, from
the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA
on Monday, August 31 at 6;30 p.m. in
the school gym. Ms. Ernster will discuss
the Miracle of Fatima and what it
means for the times we are living.
The Fatima apparitions are a series of
amazing miracles and are messages
of hope and peace. It is never about
fear. The messages do, however,
contain a warning and a promise. This
is a free event and all are welcome.
There will be a free will collection for
future events. Call 573-694-6319 for
more information.
