CLOW and Childcare During the 11am Mass

Both Children’s Liturgy of the Word and childcare begin Sept. 10 during our 11:00 Mass.  Childcare is offered for steady crawlers through pre-school aged children, in our school building after school care room.  If you are interested please contact Julie Corbell at jacorbell@yahoo.com.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is for children pre-school through second grade during the 11:00 Mass.  Children are dismissed during Mass to hear the Scripture messages at their level and returned to parents at the offertory.  If you would like your children to participate, please contact Sarah Terrell at sarahgterrell@gmail.com.

 

New Ministry!!!

Inspired by the work that we did in St. Louis on our Mission Trip, Youth Ministry will be starting a new ministry that will focus on the Corporal Works of Mercy.  But this ministry isn’t just geared toward students, we would like the ENTIRE parish to participate.  Our vision is a multigenerational group of people working to help others in our community.  We specifically encourage families to participate together, as a family, since so many activities seem to be pulling families in different directions.

Initially the justice ministry will be focusing on homelessness in our city, and as this ministry grows we will be able to talk about other Works of Mercy.   We will meet once a month.  At the first meeting we will construct blessing bags for homeless in our city and the next month we will distribute the blessing bags in some way.  Everyone who participates will get to experience both direct and indirect service.  And then the process starts all over.

Before our first meeting, we need supplies.  You can find a complete list of supplies needed by visiting:

Boxes will be available in the back of church to collect supplies starting August 20th.  Gift cards to purchase supplies will also be accepted.

If you have any questions  contact Mandy Kumler at the parish office.

And save the date.  Our first meeting will be September 20th, from 6-8:30pm in the Dickman Center

High School Religious Class Registration is OPEN.

Calling All Students in Grades 9-12! 

This year the High School Religious Ed. Classes will be taught by a team of dedicated catechists.  The classes will meet 2 Sundays a month during PREP, 9:30-10:45am, in the extra 6th grade classroom. We are hoping that having the classes at this time will better accommodate busy family calendars, especially if you have younger siblings that attend PREP. Classes begin Sept 10th.  We will be continuing to use the “Understanding the Catechism” series of books for our text, with this year’s focus being on the Prayer.  In order to cover the cost of text books and supplies, there is a $25 fee for one student, $40 fee for 2 students, and $50 fee for 3 students.  Checks can be made payable to St. Aloysius and delivered to the Parish Office.  Any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mandy Kumler, Coordinator of Youth Ministry (502-241-8452, EXT 1005 or mkumler@staloysiuspwv.org).
